I had been thinking about Lisa's leading men earlier this week, but I had omitted Dick Martin (Ed Kemmer). Here are the ones that I can remember:

Bob Hughes (Ronnie Welch, Don Hastings)

Bruce Elliott (James Pritchett)

Donald Hughes (Peter Brandon)

John Eldridege (Nicolas Coster)

Dick Martin (Ed Kemmer)

Simon Gilby (Jerry Lacy)

Rev. Wally Matthews (Charles Siebert)

Dr. Michael Shea (Jay Lannin, Roy Shumann)

Grant Coleman (Konrad Mathai, James Douglas)

Paul O'Keefe played Ross on The Patty Duke Show in between his two roles on As the World Turns. He was later on either The Edge of Night or One Life to Live (or both) in a day role and on NBC's Hot Hero Sandwich (a Saturday morning children's television show).

Both he and Patty Duke had come from soap operas. She had been on The Brighter Day and Kitty Foyle.

Many of the young actresses who played her friends were later on soap operas: Alberta Grant (The Edge of Night), Kelly Wood (Search for Tomorrow, As the World Turns), Robyn Millan (Where the Heart Is, Ryan's Hope), Pamela Toll (The Doctors, Somerset), Gaye Houston (Another World), Renee Jarrett (Woman with a Past, The Edge of Night, and Someset), and Marcia Strassman (All My Children - although I suspect that she appeared on the show after the production had moved to California).

Other soap opera/serial stars who appeared on the show include Joey Trent, Don Scardino, Scott Glenn, sibligs Donie and Susan Melvin, Alan Manson, Natalie Ross, Natalie Masters, Frances Heflin, Lois Holmes, Margaret Hamilton, K. C. Ligon (daughter of Ryan's Hope David Clarke and future wife of Tom Ligon), Bonnie Bartlett, K. T. Stevens, Patricia Bosworth, Dana Elcar, Jerry Strickler, Sorell Brooke, Peter Turgeon, Charles White, Frances Chaney, Joe Silver, Pat Englund, George Gaynes, Jean Stapleton, Jane Hoffman, Leslie Barrett, Stanley Grover, Matt Crawley, and Ralph Bell.

The show was produced by both Robert Colbert (Dark Shadows, Strange Paradise, The Secret Storm, Ryan' Hope, Another World, The Doctors) and Stanley Prager (husband of Georgann Johnson of Somerset and As the World Turns). Mr. Prager also directed many episodes.

Wow thanks for all the research you put into that. Warner Brother star of the 50's/60's Troy Donahue also appeared on the Patty Duke show and later appeared on Secret Storm.

Renee Jarrett had a short lived early 70's series called "Nancy" where she played the presidents daughter. Eddie Applegate who played Patty's boyfriend on her sitcom was a co-star of that. They said pressure from the Nixon administration put a end to the series.

These are the ones that I REMEMBERED.

I was not watching the show when this character was introduced. However, I think that the writers should have created a rivalry for his attentions between Ellen and Lisa.


Slick, I do not remember that Neil Wade and Lisa were ever attracted to one another, but my memory may be bad.

My bad, I was thinking of Penny(Neil Wade)...

Also, the last husband Martin Chedwyn (Simon Preble) the stinker.

Does anyone remember any others. I always wanted Lisa to meet a mysterious stranger( played by Nicholas Coster) or Grant Colman (James Douglas) in the last few weeks of the show so she could get a happily ever after ....

    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
