RIP Linda Cook. She was on ATWT for part of 1993, as Cynthia, a blue-collar woman who had a love affair with whatever the name of Royce's alter was. You can see a little of her here with Allison Janney.

It's hard to believe she and Terry Lester are both gone.

From the May 1972 Daytime TV.

Gillian Spencer (who played Victoria Lord Riley and Nicole Smith, a double role, on One Life to Live in 1968/9) replaced Geraldine Court as Jennifer Ryan, Feb. 2. Susan Davids succeeded Tiberia Mitri as Betsy Stewart Feb. 8.

[Paul Raven]

The hiring of Gillian Spencer coincided with Irna Phillips return in Jan 72.She was obviously not happy with Court in the role.

Variety reports in the Dec 15th 1971 issue that Donna Wandrey had been cast as Barbara Ryan, She was another actor/character that Irna ditched in 72.

Thanks for all these extra details. I didn't know Variety even covered this in detail.

Variety reports that Paul Roberts,previously a story consultant for Days has been named headwriter,effective late April 1981.

I never knew Ruth Warrick returned to ATWT. That's pretty cool. Does anybody know the story details of Irna's return as HW? And with Barbara, did that actress ever appear on screen? I thought Colleen Zenk was the one and only Barbara Ryan.
