April 22, 20178 yr Member 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.
April 22, 20178 yr Member Gawd the previews were still good back in 1994...a year after Douglas passed and things just fell apart in 1995

April 22, 20178 yr Member 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 Edited April 22, 20178 yr by Paul Raven
April 22, 20178 yr Member Thanks , Paul, I thought I'd seen it before. My friend that posted it will be very happy to see the blanks filled in!

I was just starting to rack my brain to identify some of these folks, when you stepped up!
April 22, 20178 yr Member 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. Edited April 22, 20178 yr by Khan
April 22, 20178 yr Member 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).
April 22, 20178 yr Member Also in The Royal Hunt of the Sun were Thayer David (Dark Shadows), Gregory Rozakis (The Best of Everything and One Life to Live), Michael Levin (Ryan's Hope, As the World Turns), Tony LoBianco (Hidden Faces), Robert Burr (Love of Life, Love Is a Many Splendored Thing, other soap operas), Ben Hammer (numerous soap operas), George Rose and David Carradine.
April 22, 20178 yr Member 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?

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.
