Members JAS0N47 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 I have the daily cast charts for pretty much every episode from 1965-1967 and 1972-present. Over the next few years, I'll be finishing up 1968-1971. As for Gloria Manners (Carrie Spencer), here's the list of her 18 episodes: December 30, 1971 May 22, 1975 May 23, 1975 May 27, 1975 October 13, 1975 March 29, 1979 April 6, 1979 April 11, 1979 April 20, 1979 April 25, 1979 May 2, 1979 May 18, 1979 May 22, 1979 May 31, 1979 June 15, 1979 June 22, 1979 June 25, 1979 June 28, 1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 That sounds incredible. I only know Margaret from her Y&R work. I guess it's amazing she had such a long life, considering that some of those magazines from the early 80s mention her having one or two open heart surgeries. It's hard for me to picture Margaret and Elaine Princi playing the same role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Loved Margaret on Y & R, and I even tried watching Return to Peyton Place when she was on it. I think she had several other health issues besides her heart surgeries. I did not like Elaine Princi's version of Linda at all, though I liked her very much when she was on ATWT. I think she played Dr. Kate Winograd on Days too (the woman who became involved with Bill Horton shortly before Laura's break down). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Linda's return in the mid-80's sounds absolutely terrible. That was not Linda in any way, shape, or form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Yes, she did play Kate. She appears in both the 1978 and 1979 cast photos while she was playing Kate: http://www.jason47.com/jason47a/images/1978castpicD.jpg http://www.jason47.com/jason47a/images/1979castpic.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members saynotoursoap Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Thank you, Jason! I have wondered for years and years if Gloria Manners also played Carrie in 1975. We were on vacation out of the country at the time Carrie appeared in 1975, and no one has ever been able to tell me who played her. I absolutely loved the character of Laura, and the continuity with Carrie over the years appealed to me. I had no idea she was shown as early as 1971. It is remarkable that the same actress played the role in each of those years. Fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Is that Elaine at the start of the third row in the 1978 photo? That hair isn't suited for her. I love the Chinese pajamas and ornate hairstyle Suzanne Rogers has in that photo. It's still hard for me to believe that Don Craig just left the show to mail a letter. What was Alex's exit? Do you think it was a mistake to kill Addie off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Alex was arrested for insurance fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members saynotoursoap Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 I concur. Elaine Princi is not a bad actress at all; however, she was regrettably miscast as Linda. I was annoyed by Linda's return with Princi in the role, and in fact, I stopped watching Days altogether during this era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Thanks. All I know about any of that is that Quinn Redeker said his first years on the show were great but his last few weren't. Did DAYS try to get Margaret Mason back as Linda? I think she was off Y&R by this time wasn't she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Yes, that is Elaine in the third row. I'm not sure whether it was a mistake to kill Addie. It lead to a good story for Doug (and an Emmy nomination for Bill Hayes) in which he dealt with his depression over Addie's death. I'm not sure how they would have resolved the Doug/Julie/Addie triangle if Addie had not died. Doug really loved Addie even though it wasn't in the passionate way he loved Julie and I can't imagine that he would have ever left her, especially after Hope was born. Bill & Susan Hayes said in their book that Addie originally was supposed to die from her leukemia but Patricia Barry drummed up a media campaign with her friend, Irv Kupcinet, who was a well-known columnist, to save Addie. Bill Bell got ticked off and saved her from the leukemia, only to kill her several months later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Wow that's fascinating -- I had always assumed that the show saved her from leukemia for dramatic irony, because it was so clever to have her survive that and then die saving baby Hope's life. I guess Bill got that type of a payback exit idea from Irna Phillips. I always wish they'd done more with the other Horton siblings, especially Marie and Tommy. Or even Bill, really.

Members jam6242 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 I think it did work out better dramatically because it was so shocking. Everyone expected Addie to die from the leukemia and never dreamed she would be killed such a short time later. Bill & Susan also said that Bill Bell said her would never let Doug & Julie get married, and he didn't. They weren't married until Pat Falken Smith took over. I would love to know what Bell had in mind for Doug & Julie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Both of Laura's parents appeared on that episode, December 30, 1971. Here's the set list: Horton Living Room, Dr. Spencer’s Apartment & Corridor, Horton Kitchen, Mrs. Spencer’s Room at Sanitarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Same here. My guess would be that Doug would have eventually been killed off. Maybe on the day or eve of their wedding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
