Look into the past

[Paul Raven]

TJ Hargrave became a businessman and died in the 9/11 attack on the WTC.

On Days,I think Amanda became pregnant with Chris' child but had an etoptic pregnancy and lost the child.Or maybe her husband Greg was the father-or she wasn't sure? someone will know this.

Winifred Wolfe (along with Mary Harris)proposed a 60 min soap in the early 70's 'Yesterday's Child...Tomorrow's Adult'.

[DRW50]

What was Mary Harris on? She wasn't involved with Soap was she?

Sad about TJ.

[Paul Raven]

Mary Harris was a producer who worked on ATWT and AW.

[FrenchFan]

Guiding Light sounded kinda boring at the time.

[Paul Raven]

Re GL.

Sometime in 75,the Dobsons took over as headwriters,so it will be interesting to see the changes.

Rita Stapleton arrived in 75,she was definitely a Dobson creation.Ann Jeffers arrived to complicate Mike and Leslie's story.

Ken and Janet were written off that year.

Remember that the show was still 30 mins then,so casts were small and not many changes took place.

[FrenchFan]

I know, I was surprised how boring it seemed to be before The Dobsons. The focus on Tim Ryan and Pam Chandler, who had no ties with the Bauers or any longtime cast member, must have been irritating.

[MichaelGL]

^It might explain why the ratings for the show at this time dropped.

Robert Cendella, I see his name on the stuff between the Nixon era and Lemay era on AW, and now I see his name on stuff before the Dobsomes arrive. Was he actually that boring as a writer?

[DRW50]

I know he was writing for both Somerset and AW at one point, I guess that's why Lemay was brought in. Lemay complained in his book about how static the stories were at this time. Day in and day out, Walter Curtin would pull a scarf out of his safe or somewhere and cry into it, and the Randolph nanny (Rue McLanahan) would poison Pat, who would complain of not feeling well, but never think of seeing a doctor.

[FrenchFan]

Robert Cenedella was HW for these shows:

- AW : 1968-1971

- Somerset : 1970-1971

- The Secret Storm : 1971-1972

- GL : 1974 - 1975

- The Doctors : 1975-1976

[MichaelGL]

I was wondering Frenchfan if you anymore recaps from 1975 or even earlier?

[FrenchFan]

Yes I do have the Daytime Serial Newsletter from late 1974 to late 1978. It has long summaries. It is on paper, it is very long typing but I know I have to do it someday

[MichaelGL]

It's cool, I was just wondering about these. Take all the time you need, I appreciate the hard you put into posting these, they're all such a great read.

[FrenchFan]

I'm actually working on a surprise for you here ...older summaries but I don't know exactly when it will be done
