Members danfling Posted May 20, 2015 Members Share Posted May 20, 2015 Jill was involved with the character that Joel Crothers played AFTER he had left Dark Shadows. It seems to me that there was little time between those two roles of his. Before he was in the original cast of Dark Shadows, he had appeared on The Doctors. I suspect that this was when The Doctors was an anthology show or was presenting one-week length storylines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted May 20, 2015 Members Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Wilifred Hollister (Bernard Hughes) was a father who had been demanding of his daughter all of her life. He was crushed when she made the decision to leave classical music behind her. If I am not mistaken, the closing scene on Friday when the American Home Products owned the show and the Monday when CBS owned it was the scene between Laurie and Wilifred in which Wilifred dropped dead. Does anyone remember if Linda DeCoff or Stephanie Braxton was playing Laurie during that scene. Or, it is possible that Ms. DeCoff was playing the role on Friday and Ms. Braxton was playing the role on Monday. Does anyone know if I am correct or not? Also, I am thinking that the switch from Nola #1 (Rita Morley) and Nola #2 (Rosemary Murphy) was the time of the show's ownership switch.

Members dc11786 Posted May 20, 2015 Members Share Posted May 20, 2015 The switch with Murphy did occur around the time of Willifred's death. Murphy stated her first scenes involved killing he husband or him dying in front of her in a newspaper article from that time period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted May 20, 2015 Members Share Posted May 20, 2015 Was that the same Barnard Hughes who played Bob's dad on The Bob Newhart Show and the grandpa on Blossom? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted June 2, 2015 Members Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Terry, all I have about FJ is the info from your post. Does anyone else have any info about Francesca James' appearance on SS? Edited June 2, 2015 by slick jones 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted June 30, 2015 Members Share Posted June 30, 2015 I never knew Jada Rowland was on Sesame Street. I guess she liked SS shows. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted June 30, 2015 Members Share Posted June 30, 2015 I had thought that Mary McGregor had played Susan much later. I am glad to know that it was during this time. This is obviously before Barbara Rodell replaced Audre Johnston as Jill. Gordon Grey must have just left the role of Ken, and I guess that had not hired Joel Crothers yet to be Ken #2. It is also before the introduction of Laurie Hollister, played by Linda DeCoff. This confirms that neither Barbara Rodell's Jill or either of the two actresses who played Laurie had any scenes with Gordon Gray (Ken #1). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NothinButAttitude Posted July 14, 2015 Members Share Posted July 14, 2015 You're welcome! I'm glad I've somewhat stumbled upon it. Unlike anything on I've come across on The Secret Storm in the past, this is more in-depth on the show's history. Part IV is going to post on Wed. I hope that WLS does this with other soaps from the past too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dc11786 Posted July 14, 2015 Members Share Posted July 14, 2015 This was written by John Kelly Genovese, a soap historian. I've never heard of the publication "The Soap Box," that this was published in. I'm so happy he devoted a whole section to the Avery years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 15, 2015 Members Share Posted July 15, 2015 Those summaries were amazing.So detailed and mentioning characters and stories that only were given a passing nod (if mentioned at all) in other summaries. John Kelly Genovese seems to have vanished.Wouldn't it be great is somehow all his articles and other info were available? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
