Members slick jones Posted February 20, 2015 Members Share Posted February 20, 2015 I just read that Peggy Cass (H.Sweeney, TD, multiple game shows) appeared on Search For Tomorrow early in her career. Does anyone know anything about this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted February 20, 2015 Members Share Posted February 20, 2015 Slick, my information is that she played Nellie Shayne on the show in 1986. I seem to remember that someone told me that she was an airplane passenger. Do you know anything about David Canary's role on the show? Also, Geoffrey Lumb and Ernest Graves? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted February 21, 2015 Members Share Posted February 21, 2015 Ernest Graves was Walter Haskins, the same role that Douglass Watson portrayed in the 60s. Geoffrey Lumb was Geoffrey Crane, but I don't know what his role did on the canvas. I have her as Nellie Shayne as well, but the article I read in the archives said she was a bad girl on Search for 2-3 episodes before she became famous on Broadway and game shows, so I think it was in the 50's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted February 21, 2015 Members Share Posted February 21, 2015 Wow, I had known that David Canary was on The Doctors and AW before hitting his biggest daytime fame on AMC, but not that he was on SFT. Then, of course, years later he and Michael Nouri would both be on AMC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antmunoz Posted February 21, 2015 Members Share Posted February 21, 2015 It's amazing what one can learn with Google and a copy of THE SOAP OPERA ENCYCLOPEDIA, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members saynotoursoap Posted March 3, 2015 Members Share Posted March 3, 2015 June 1975 was a spectacular month for Search. Tony suffered a heart attack, fell down the stairs at Henderson Hospital, and died attempting to save the life of young runaway Robin Kennemer. His death greatly affected Jo and Scott Phillips. After Tony's funeral, Scott admitted he loved Kathy and had never loved his wife Jennifer, who was pregnant with his child. Neurotic Jennifer became hysterical, railing at him for deceiving her with a marriage based on nothing but lies. She pulled away from him and smashed through the plate glass patio door. Her spleen ruptured. She hemorrhaged and lost the baby. When she awoke following surgery, her face was swathed in white bandages. A shard of glass had sliced through her beautiful face, leaving a hideous scar down her cheek. Jennifer's slow motion plunge through the door is one of the most iconic sequences on the series. It was such a sensation that CBS ran promos for it in primetime for weeks afterward. Ann Marcus wrote a marvelous soap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted March 3, 2015 Members Share Posted March 3, 2015 That sounds incredibly compelling, SayNot! You wouldn't happen to have any of this, would you? No worries if you don't -- the summaries are more than welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 3, 2015 Members Share Posted March 3, 2015 Just from the descriptions of the character of Jennifer, it's no wonder Morgan Fairchild became a star. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members saynotoursoap Posted March 7, 2015 Members Share Posted March 7, 2015 Unfortunately I do not. I know a collector who does have Jennifer's fall on tape, but she refuses to trade it with me because she knows that I would upload it to YouTube in a flash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
