It seems Secret Storm was replaced by a game show in Cincinnati for much of 1962.  A tv columnist provided this synopsis for viewers when it was about to resume in November.

A May 73 article states that Jada was returning after a two year absence.

So Lynne was on May 71-May 73.

She then went back to GL as Leslie until she departed in June 76 (looks like her 3 year contract was up)

Can we get a definitive timeline for Jada's stints on Secret Storm?

Thanks 

So Jada was first off in 58. I have a feeling  Jada chose to leave as a person of that age might want to do.

She was back on 60/61 until Amy and Paul were dropped in 67.

At this point she went ATWT to play Susan Stewart. I think she continued in that role until Storm wanted her back in 68.

At the end of that contract she chose to leave again and then I think either she approached Storm to come back as Amy in 73 or they asked her to come back to boost the ratings as they faced cancellation.

If anyone knows more about her comings and goings, please let me (us) know.

 

Here's an amusing article from 71.

A Soapless Soap Opera Star By JOY DAANE

Dear Valerie Hill Ames Northcote; For about seven years I've been watching you on Secret Storm. I remember when you first arrived in Woodbridge as Mrs. Hill, a widow. Then you married Peter Ames and after he died, you became Mrs. Ian Northcote. Anyway, it just occurred to me that in all that time I've never seen you scrub a floor, wash a dish or dust the piano. By now you must have enough fuzzies under your bed to grow geraniums. For that matter, I've never seen you lolling around the house with your hair in curlers or sitting around without your girdle, watching TV. How come? Is it because you've learned that when your doorbell rings, it is NOT going to be a magazine salesman? And when the phone rings, it's NOT going to be somebody asking you to bring a cake to a PTA meeting?

 

It's going to be someone like the police, who called a while back to notify you that your stepdaughter, Amy, was seriously injured in an automobile accident in which Amy's friend, Mickey, was killed because he had forgotten to put snow tires on the car. As I recall, Amy was pursuing Corey (who was eloping with Deedee) to tell him he wasn't her long lost brother after all so it was O.K. for them to be in love with each other. Since all you were doing was sashaying around the house in your Chanel suit and diamond earrings, you were ready to dash off to the hospital immediately to sit with Amy until she regained consciousness. And last month when word came that Alan Dunbar (former husband of another stepdaughter, Susan) was not dead and had just been released from a concentration camp in Red China, you didn't have to change your dress or fix your hair. You were ready to begin meddling instantly.

 

Possibly another reason you don't do housework is that you're so busy mixing drinks. I've noticed that whenever somebody drops in with a problem which is like constantly you begin passing the drinks around. For instance, Frank Carver, whom Susan married when she thought Alan was dead instead of imprisoned, stopped in when Susan went to visit Alan in a West Coast hospital. Frank was frantic. He couldn't get in touch with Susan at her hotel because he wasn't aware she had registered under her previous name Mrs. Alan Dunbar, instead of her current name Mrs. Frank Carver. The reason she did that was because she thought Alan might telephone and the psychiatrist said she mustn't give Alan the bad news of her remarriage because he was suffering from malnutrition and drug withdrawal. So Frank stopped in to consult you, as does everybody else in Woodbridge, and you said, as you do to everybody, "Let me fix you a drink, dear, and we can talk about it." Which you did . . . for four days.

 

I've been giving the whole thing a lot of thought lately and have decided that your charm lies in the fact that because of the multitude of fascinating crises you face, you have no time for ordinary activities. That appeals to us household drudges who are too busy cleaning the stove for hanky panky. I think I've figured out how you manage to stay on top of things. During the commercials the doll with the sponge mop comes in and does your floors with that foamy stuff that cleans, waxes, polishes and disinfects all at once. And with the time she saves, she rinses out the highball glasses.

      Best Daytime Emmys

      By kalbir · Posted

      When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).

      Yes in Sami's case lots of people took issue with her being with Dumbell Austin outside of the Carrie issue, cause she drugged him and raped him by pretending to be Carrie. Austin didn't consent & well Ejami fans have used that as a smokescreen against the backlash of Sami & EJ being paired. It's also not so much as being paired with someone period, but paired with his victim & his victim sister. That's a line that should never be crossed by Belle/EJ esp Belle cause Sami isn't the only person in her family that EJ has terrorized. For all points and purposes since she was aged to a teen, Belle has been a daddy's girl so on top of the betrayal when it comes to Sami it's also with John. He ran him down & murdered him after raping her sister. On top of all the other evil [!@#$%^&*] he has done. "Good dick", ONS with a monster one time is one thing we all have lapses of judgements, it's whole different thing to be a whole bird who throws her self respect out the window for a roll in the hay relationship with a monster & act like you have selective amnesia about his many crimes towards your family. While getting on your self righteous hoiler than thou horse about others. No there wouldn't be as much as outrage if he was paired with someone like his equally rapey Black family terrorizing sister, or Ava, Gabi or even Nicole. So it's not as much as about him being paired with someone period, it's more of who he should never be paired with his rape victim, her sister's or anyone in the family of the man he viciously ran down. I don't expect much of anything from EJ but I expect a lot more from Belle. As far as Kristen goes Brady has been called everything but the word of God rightfully so for being with his rapist, his brothers rapist, the psycho who terrorized his parents for decades, family, the woman he claimed to love after she violated her by using a mask of her face

      to pretend to be her so he would sleep with her. Drugging his sister ie,: Sami. If Kristen was paired with someone that wasn't her victim or victims like Alex, Xander, [!@#$%^&*] even Ben no one would really care for the most part. So I hope this gives you a little insight and I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude.

      Speaking of Emily, I really wish that Marie Masters could do a Locher Room. I haven’t seen anything about her in years!

      Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread

      By kalbir · Posted

      Going by ratings, I'd say 1982. June 8, 1981 to October 5, 1984 Ryan's Hope time slot rival was Y&R. Ryan's Hope was competitive vs. Y&R until June 1982. Remainder of 1982 Ryan's Hope falls and Y&R rebounds from their post-expansion slump. 1983 Y&R blew up and we know the rest.

      They are pretty rough in 1981 too, although at least we know the characters.

      Roger mostly just had a conscience if it affected him, although there were a few bits here and there. Didn't he look out for Tangie out of loyalty to her parents?  Even at the time I don't know if I could have argued that Roger had been ruined, given that he had raped two women, but there was a complexity in the writing for Roger for most of his return until Laibson/McTavish. He just became a one-note heel. Even worse, I just found Dinah completely unwatchable as Wendy Moniz was incapable of playing a heroine (I know even the best could not have made that material work).

      Am I the only one who hates how this show treats Claire? She's a glorified extra This girl comes from stock the granddaughter of the shows 2 biggest supercouples and they treat her like she's a throw away. Her pop pop is dying/dead and her other grandpa is saved awoken from his coma, alive because of the selfless heroic actions of her maternal grandpa

      There is no reason why she wouldn't be here to say goodbye. Olivia Rose isn't doing anything I bet she love to come back and say goodbye. I just don't understand the motivation & thought process when it comes to some decisions. This show is probably still salty about how they didn't succeed in trying to assassinate Claire, on the alter of her dicktimized bird brained aunt & her serial killer boyfriend/husband with the audience.  Also unless they're keeping it under wraps Sami not being back in time to say goodbye to John is a huge fumble. If it had to do with Ali availability then they should've pushed back the fallout of Johnny learning about his sperm donor raping his mother and the subsequent confrontation with Elvis & Sami to conceded with John's coma & death so Sami/Ali were here for it. It's just a huge piece missing from this. As much I hated Sami's overdramatic looney tunes treatment of John long after she was in her 30s, became a grandma, her & John had one of the best dynamic complex heartbreaking father/daughter relationship's on both daytime and the show. It would be full circle as John's end of watch nears, that Sami apologizes for her treatment of him & admits she does love him. He was just as much as a father to her as "Roman", in a impossible situation that turned everyone lives upside down(The 2 Romans, Roman Intitial Death, The Affair)through no fault of his own. How fitting if she called him dad one last time & how thankful she is for his unconditional support and love. He squeezes her hand one last time, calls her Samantha and finally let's go after hearing the words he spent decades longing for in my eyes
