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.

    • Seems like the Dobsons were aiming for a Joe/Sara/Justin triangle or, having decided that Joe would be killed off, Justin would be waiting in the wings. But that never came to pass and I don't think there was much reference to Justin/Sara as time went on.That was something that could have been used later on but Doug Marland may not have known or cared. Also, when the show went to an hour they could add a lot of characters and not rely on the stalwarts, hence Jackie/Alan/Elizabeth. And after Leslie died, Mike went into Dad mode with Hope. Hope/Ben never took off and Hope was replaced and then dropped and Ben moved on to Eve, whose romance with Tim fizzled and Jordan Clarke left (by choice?)

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
