Had forgotten that Harding Lemay was brought back as consultant after Marland's passing. How long did he last? I am surprised he wasn't given the HW job.

I think I posted this photo somewhwere earlier in the thread.

 

Off the top of my head I think the girl in blue next to Ro is Sybil Collier, who played Judy English, Claire's British niece.

 

The boys in the front row are Dan and Paul Stewart and the girl is Connie Scott as Susan Burke.

 

The woman in front is Toni Darnay (Franny Brennnan)

 

The man next to Bob is Fred Collins played by George Sampson

Was that the entire cast?  If so, it seems incredible to me how a half-hour show from that period would have so many actors/characters.

On the front row of that group photograph are Jeffrey Rowland (Dan Stewart) and probably Edmund Guynes as Paul.  The women are Franny Brennan (Toni Darnay) and Susan Burke (Connie Scott).

 

This was evidently taken before Gloria de Haven joined the cast as Sarah Fuller.

 

I cannot remember, for the life of me, Fred Collins (George Sampson).   Was he someone who was attracted to Amanda (Deborah Steinberg Simon)?

Sometime after Connie Scott left as Susan, Jada Rowland had the role.   That was after her brother, Jeffrey Rowland, had left as Dan.

I have learned that actor George Sampson appeared on Broadway in The Royal Hunt of the Sun (1966).

This is a picture of Jeffrey Rowland with the mayor of New York.   Is that the First Lady on the left?

The list of actresses who played Dr. Susan Burke Stewart are:

  • Connie Scott (1966–1967)
  • Diana Walker (1967)
  • Jada Rowland (1967–1968)
  • Leslie Perkins (1968)
  • Marie Masters (1968–1979, 1986–2010)

The years that Marie Masters played Susan seem to be incorrect.  She was fired when Irna Phillips returned to writer the show.  She returned later after Robert Soderberg and Edith Sommer became the writers.  

 

I read that Mary Harris created the character.   Is this correct?

OMG Hans....LOLOL...he was one of the weirdest villians ever....even weirder than Lileith....I wonder if Marland had an outline for him or did the remaining writers create him? I liked Hans...I still remember Emma and Lily hiding from him at the farm....LOL....and the plaster of the ceiling falling all over Courtney's face....LOL...I think that was close to when the actress was leaving the show. I remember Courtney blaming Andy for what Hans did to her.

    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
    • Yes. And I assume he met Mary Ellen Stuart at GL.
