Members Paul Raven Posted June 18, 2010 Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 Jerry Lacey was Simon Gilby on ATWT. I think he was involved with Lisa. He had a ward named Meredith who was involved with Tom. Somehow or other Simon and Meredith ended up together and left Oakdale. I think they were dumped when Irna Phillips returned. Wynne Miller played Jessica Buchanan on Somerset. Nancy Barrett was Kathy Ryker on The Doctors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gilbert Posted June 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 Steve has written on a folder the year end winners for a few years: Best Actor/ Best Actress/ Best Show 1971: George Reinholt, Jacqueline Courtney, Another World 1972: Edward Mallory/Bill Hayes (tie), Denise Alexander, Days of Our Lives 1973: Edward Mallory, Denise Alexander, Days of Our Lives 1974: George Reinholt, Jacqueline Courtney, Another World 1975: Tom Hallick, Janice Lynde, Young & the Restless 1976: Bill Hayes, Susan Seaforth Hayes, Days of Our Lives 1977: Bill Hayes, Susan Seaforth Hayes, Days of Our Lives He writes at the end that he could not remember the rest of the years, and could not find a list of them. He said that he also may be mixing up the year that Mallory and Hayes tied and it could have been 1973. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted June 18, 2010 Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 That's so funny, I wonder if in that spoiler-free age they hoped their votes would lead to some wonderful random day when their favorite star would pop up again. Of course these were the days of Rosemary Prinz being stalked like a Beatle and Eileen Fulton being clobbered in Lord & Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 18, 2010 Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 That's a good point, SFK. And in some cases it probably worked. Gilbert, thanks for the extra information on Steve's magazines. Paul Raven thanks for filling in some of the blanks. I wish I could have seen Jerry with Eileen Fulton. So what story did Irna give Eileen when she came back? Was it that awful hysterical pregnancy stuff? What was this character like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gilbert Posted June 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 One other thing Steve has written down here is that Jacqueline Courtney was the first star to achieve 100 months in the Top Ten. Despite leaving AW once and then being fired, she only fell out of the top ten once and never out of the runner's up during the first 101 consecutive polls. He said Denise Alexander was the 2nd star to achieve 100 issues in the poll. Other stars who later did it were Bill Hayes, Susan Hayes, and Deidre Hall.

Members Paul Raven Posted June 18, 2010 Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 Irna returned early in 72 so the phantom pregnancy story was hers. Don Hughes was involved with Lisa. He had grown close to her son Chuckie. When she believes she is pregnant,she goes to the hospital for an abortion as she doesn't want to appear to be trapping Don. She discovers from her doctor(played by Doug Marland) that she had an ovarian cyst. Rick Ryan,Jennifer's son,who wants to break up Bob & Jennifer,witnesses Lisa's ordeal and tells Jennifer that Lisa thinks Bob was the father of her child. She wrote off Simon & Meredith and married Tom & Carol in July. She also introduced the character of Kim. She killed off Paul Stewart. Apparently,she initially got the ratings up but later in the year she was fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted June 18, 2010 Members Share Posted June 18, 2010 Thanks Paul. I wish I could see some of this. I'd especially love to see India, as I was enthralled by Marie Wallace on Dark Shadows, and Schemering called her Somerset character a "fascinating demi-goddess." All of this just reinforces how genius it was for Dan Curtis to have saved his DS stuff because there are a lot of soap actors I wouldn't even know of if not for that show.

Members SFK Posted June 19, 2010 Members Share Posted June 19, 2010 I remember someone at WoST talking about India, sounded like a great character. Didn't Tina Sloan play some sort of cold bitch on Somerset or one of those NBC shows back in the '70s? When you all started talking about India I was thinking that was Tina. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted June 19, 2010 Members Share Posted June 19, 2010 *Veleka Gray Reading that cast list I also noticed that two former Dorians were on the show, originator, the late Nancy Pinkerton, and temp for Strasser, Ellen Barber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 19, 2010 Members Share Posted June 19, 2010 I think Eve was played by Audrey Landers, right? Or am I thinking of someone else? I still want to see that Jingles the Clown story. It drives me nuts not seeing that story, as it sounds so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted June 19, 2010 Members Share Posted June 19, 2010 Ah yes, I've read about that... the idea that nobody could give an accurate description of the criminal... "Uhhhh, he was a clown. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
