Great to see Lori March-I liked that close up at the end,almost like they were recognizing her status on soaps.She later played Lady Agnes on GL.

Here's a pic of Jada and Nic Coster as Amy and Paul.

Anthony Herrera was replaced by Nicholas Lewis in the role of Brannigan. Liam Sullivan was killed off the show. Joining were: Jacqueline Brooks (Ursula Winthrop, D.A.), Robert Sherwood (Doug Winthrop), Gary Campbell (Ass't. D.A.), and Richard Venture (Tom Gregory). All joined in late November, early December.

Thanks for these casting updates for Storm and the other soaps.Always something new to discover!

Since these magazines are so old I wasn't sure if it was already common knowledge, but since there isn't a big fan site for some of these shows (as there are for AW/Edge) I thought it was nice to have more details.

From the May 1972 Daytime TV.

Diane Dell is out as Lisa Britton. Jack Ryland, being replaced as Frank Carver, plans to move to Hollywood for a while.

From Variety

April 68 CBS-TV's "Secret Storm" soap is reviving the Amy and Paul Britton characters with original players Jada Rowland and Nicolas Coster in an effort to hypo the strip's numbers.

November 68 The Secret Storm" daytimer gets Tony Converse as its new producer and an additional writer, Lou Scofield, to team with John Hess.

November 71 A featured player in the upcoming film, "Going Home," Audrey Landers, has joined the CBS soaper "The Secret Storm."

"hypo" is such an odd way to put it.

Too bad Coster didn't stay around long.

What a beautiful thing to wake up to...many thanks for these clippings. Earlier this week, my wife and I were watching an old Perry Mason show in which Lori March was the defendant in the case. After discovering the body, Lori went out via a fire escape...something you would never expect Valeries Ames to do.

From Daytime TV, December 1971

Judi Rollin who played Didi Clayborne left the cast in July.

From a July 1970 Inside TV.

Joan Crawford's proved she'll try anything on TV, from a Merv Griffin talk show to taking over her daughter's role on a daily soap opera. The ratings in the latter proved something to Screen Gems, which has offered Joan an amazingly wonderful deal for a series: All of Joan's scenes plus close-ups for the entire season would be done in six weeks but with a nice six-figure salary for the year!

I had the delightful pleasure of meeting an ex-Secret Storm cast member yesterday...Frances Sternhagen, who played Jessie Reddin. Ms. Sternhagen shared her memories of the Oscar and Tony Award winning actor Jose Ferrer on the occasion of the US Postal Servie's 'First-Day-of-Issue' ceremony held at the prestigious Players' Club in NYC. Ferrer's widow extended me an invitation to the event as he was a longtime member of our Westchester community. Ms. Sternhagen's credits include stints on 'Another World' and 'Love of Life.'

How exciting! I definitely remember her on Secret Storm (as well as many other productions).
