saynotoursoap had such wonderful uploads. Sadly I think these may be ones that somebody else took from his channel a few years ago and screwed up.

GOD, I am so happy with all of the little TSS gems popping up these days. Can't wait to turn that up and listen to it as soon as I can. It sounds so crisp and clear, too. Of course, we'd like to see the actual video that goes with it, but if we must make do with just audio, then I'm glad it's in such great quality.

@safe Bernie Barrow is in this one. 

 

That's another rare find. So awesome to get to hear these. I didn't know whether they had organ music or not by then. I guess they didn't. The music sounds surprisingly futuristic for a soap. Then again this was the '70s...

 

I know it's been discussed and I've just forgotten, but what secret was Amy hiding? Was she artificially inseminated? Is that why Valerie (who sounded like she could cut a bitch) was so rattled when that woman was going on about how she would get "AI"?

 

Was Kevin paralyzed at this point?

The music for The Secret Storm was, by this time, being provided by Carey Gold.  The show did not use pre-recorded music but rather original music played by Mr. Gold on a variety of keyboard instruments.  I think that Love of Life also employed Mr. Gold for its music.

 

After Mr. Gold left CBS, he composed the theme song for Ryan's Hope.  I think that he composed the musical cues for that show during its early years.

I absolutely adore Carey Gold's rendition of the Secret Storm theme. It has a very soft, sweet quality to it, and the music used throughout the episode has the same feeling. It's a great contrast to the harsh organ music that was just about on its way out with the P&G soaps.

How can you not love those delicious little rising sixteenth (I think) notes at the end of the closing theme?

Yes, Amy was artificially inseminated when Kevin was paralyzed, and somehow without his knowledge (though I can’t remember how that part played out).  Her gynecologist supplied the sperm, unknown to Amy.  Jeffrey Pomerantz played the doctor.

Thanks. Ugh. I think ATWT did this years later with John Dixon and Carly (although he wasn't the father in the end). So the happy ending was just them reconciling and him being able to walk again, but he still wasn't the father?

 

Sorry for all the questions.

Yeah, the paternity wasn’t changed.  I’m not sure that Amy even learned that Brian (the doctor) was the father.  I know at one point only Brian and his sister, Danielle, knew the truth about that.  I think the baby was also named Danielle.  Kevin had left Amy, thinking she had cheated on him, if I’m remembering correctly.  Though that seems crazy to me now that she wouldn’t tell him that she had been inseminated instead of letting him think she cheated on him.  Kevin had surgery in England, and in the last episode, was waiting on Amy, sitting in a regular chair.  He got up to walk across the room to her, then fell in her arms.  Hopefully someone else remembers and can correct me if I’m wrong.

Thanks for the 1973 episode. I know who is playing Amy and Val, but who are the other actors playing the other characters in this episode ?

 

Too bad Belle did not appear in the episode. I love Marla Adams. I saw the 1968 CBS soaps promo clip with her, but would love to see some footage of the Amy/Belle feud.

Thanks again. I wonder if that was a thread they planned to do more with if they'd gone to syndication. It's a shame that didn't happen. Did that Brian character stay around to the end as well?

 

From the writeup on the video:

 

AUDIO ONLY of this episode of the fondly remembered CBS Soap Opera which aired from February 1954 to February 1974. In this entry, Dan and Kevin (Bernie Barrow and David Ackroyd) discuss Dan's hoped-for parole; Mark and Laurie (David Gale and Stephanie Braxton) discuss Mark's new job as a parole officer; and Amy (Lynne Adams) receives a surprise baby shower with Laurie, Joanna, Mrs. Post (Sue Ann Gilfillan), Valerie (Lori March) and Lisa (Judy Safran) in attendance

 

For some reason I thought Jada was playing Amy again by this time. Clearly not.

Thanks for the info. I thought it sounded like Jada Rowland , but was wrong. I have been watching her on the Doctors reruns on youtube. I always remember David Akyroyd as Gary Ewing # 1 on Dallas in 1978 before Ted Shackelford took over in 1979.

    • Sami's Three Stooges stole the show today 

      Please register in order to view this content

      I enjoyed their individual scenes with other characters before they all came together at the Pub to commiserate over their relationships with Sami. I thought that was broken down pretty well. I just wish it had gone on a little longer. And I actually found it kinda funny too lol it seemed more mature than what we're used to. That's the kind of humor that should be on a soap. But I'm not really sure about all this talk of Dante Vitali and Sami's engagement though, especially since it doesn't look like Ali Sweeney is coming back anytime soon. What's the point of it all if we're (probably) not going to see it? It also looked like today was the first round of Brady vs. Xander as well lol I enjoyed their fight, and I'm interested in seeing this storyline play out. Even though I'm sure that Sarah will ultimately go back to Xander in the end, I'd like to see what happens along the way, and how they and everyone around them are affected by this. Btw, Theo and Jada? Idk. I still think he had the most chemistry with Arianna. And he was a bit of a dick too. It also seemed a little out of character for Jada for her to be so OK with him being such a dick  And though Alex and Stephanie were very boring again and need much better conflict than this book stuff, I am interested in the mystery of who's targeting Alex.  And yeah, I know this is a nitpick, but why is the Square still open after the gala? Isn't it supposed to be really late at night? 
    • In fairness, Hillary and Bob Woods were thick as thieves again at least by the end of OLTL. But both she and I believe Mark Derwin not so subtly dissed Kale Browne in the oral history, lol.

    • Frat Boy Jr.'s reaction to seeing Luna was just awful acting. It was so bad that I started laughing.

      Does anyone have screenshots of it?
    • Geez, I hadn't heard that Doctors story. HBS really did go through it. 
    • No offense to the actors involved, but dear God in heaven: I don't know HOW viewers managed to get through that storyline with Maggie, Frank, Cal and baby Jill without running into oncoming traffic.  Then, to make matters worse, they dragged poor Diana into the mess!  I don't care WHO gets that damn baby!  Just wrap it up and move ON already!
    • Poor HBS.  To have to put up with Stephen Burleigh, who stuck his knee between her legs while rehearsing a love scene on THE DOCTORS, then told the director that's what he did with his wife; Kincaid, who had more hair on his chest and upper lip than Koko the Gorilla; Kale Browne, who taped his lines all over the OLTL studio floor, because he couldn't ever be bothered to [!@#$%^&*] memorize them; and Robert S. Woods, who apparently thought it was still 1979 and that he was still smolderingly sexy, so why should Bo Buchanan be stuck being in a happy marriage with Nora?  After all that, no wonder she jumped at the chance to play a lesbian on VENICE, lol.
    • @Maxim Thank you for the mini-review and clip from several pages ago. I appreciate you using the Bo/Alex clip as them meeting again by this point was a real surprise to me. The scene has some layers, getting a glimpse of Alex genuinely wanting the best for Bo rather than gloating. I was disappointed it ended with Tina dragging her out of the room for some much less interesting sparring (I did enjoy Alex pointing out just how quickly Tina got over Cord).
