Thanks for reading. I hope to have those eventually, although someone else may already have them.

I don't know how to embed photos but this is an ebay ad for the show.

Thanks.

"about people you'll care about" sounds awful.

The main man in the ad looks scary. I wonder if people thought it was a horror show.

Does anyone know who played the following characters:

Sidney Baldwin [murder witness]

Ginger Brown [hooker]

Dr. Emerson [Connie's doctor]

Craig Henderson [businessman]

Chester Higgins [reporter]

Billy Saxton [son Billy and Connie]

Guy Sparks [flunky, Big Tony]

Big Tony

RC [gang member]

Thanks!

Sad that with a few exceptions, none of them went on to real TV success. Of course, Rod Arrants went from this to a highly successful six-year run as Travis Sentell on SFT. Nancy Marchand went on to primetime success and Emmy wins with Lou Grant and The Sopranos. I wonder what the rest of them are doing now.

Richard Baccus is a soap opera/serial writer.

Also, Christine Jones was later on One Life to Live and Another World - plus the primetime serial Number 96.

[amybrickwallace]

Yeah, and didn't Richard Backus also play Barry Ryan on RH?

[danfling]

Yes, he did.

I wish that the article above had mentioned Flora Plumb and Tom Happer.

[amybrickwallace]

Me, too. I know next to nothing about her except that she's Eve Plumb's RL sis.

Thanks for clarifying about Richard Backus. He also got an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his work on RH, in addition to his Emmy nods on various soap writing teams.

Tom Happer was on "For Richer, For Poorer."

[danfling]

I stand corrected about Tom Happer. (He was also on Dark Shadows.)

Flora Plumb records books for the visually impaired today.
