Members SoapDope Posted February 6, 2017 Members Share Posted February 6, 2017 I would love to see a complete color episode from the late 60's or early 70's. Especially with Marla Adams as Belle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted March 18, 2017 Members Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Donnie Melvin also played an orphan boy named Danny on The Doctors from 1967-68. Danny was eventually adopted by psychiatrist Dr. Bill Winters (James Noble, later of Benson fame) and his wife, Ruth (Ann Whiteside). Speaking of TD, Michael Kearney (who had also played Petey Dunbar on TSS) is the older brother of Eileen Kearney (the first regular actress to play Greta Powers) and Mark Kearney (who originated the role of Billy Allison Aldrich). Michael also played a couple of minor roles on TD himself. Edited June 14, 2018 by amybrickwallace 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted March 21, 2017 Members Share Posted March 21, 2017 Was that before or after he was on TSS? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted March 22, 2017 Members Share Posted March 22, 2017 It was before he was on either The Doctors or had appeared in Capote's A Christmas Memory. After all of that, he joined the cast of The Secret Storm. He was nice in appearance, but his acting was not all that great to me. After leaving The Secret Storm, I never saw him or heard of him again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 23, 2017 Members Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks. I wonder whatever happened to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted March 25, 2017 Members Share Posted March 25, 2017 And when I mentioned his acting, I was referring to The Secret Storm. Later, the show wrote in Ursula Blackwell's son. I am not sure who played this role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members danfling Posted March 26, 2017 Members Share Posted March 26, 2017 The story of Ms. Crawford's appearance is that her daughter (who played the contract role of Joan Boreman Kane) was unable to play the role due to unplanned surgery. The show hired Joan Crawford to play the role for two episodes. This casting was front-page news (at least in my town), and the show was probably happy with the amount of publicity that the show received. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 1, 2017 Members Share Posted April 1, 2017 There was a character called Wendy Porter on TSS sometime in the 1960s who was played first by a pre-ATWT Rita McLaughlin, and she was replaced by Julie Mannix because the show wanted the character to be racier. Julie Mannix not only starred on a soap, but had a daughter who would one day star in a soap - Danielle von Zerneck (GH; also well known as Donna Ludwig in La Bamba). Julie Mannix von Zerneck co-wrote a book called Secret Storms with the daughter she and her husband Frank had been forced to give up for adoption prior to their marriage. Here's info on the book and a couple of book trailers: http://www.independentauthornetwork.com/julie-mannix-von-zerneck-and-kathy-hatfield.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
