Jacqueline Schultz and Larry Bryggman.

Ben Jorgensen and Barbara Mandrell's daughter.

Margaret Reed and Michael Swan were together for some of their ATWT run but had split up a few years before she left.

I think PJ said Lisa Brown and Larry Brygmann were together when their characters were paired.

Maura West and Scott DeFrietas.

It's sometimes surprising to me that Kirk did manage to stay on the show for ten years leaving in a completely different spot than he came on in. I think Kirk was ruined for me when he knowingly let Lily and Margo take the fall for Diego's murder when he did it himself.

Never knew about the Alexander/Wiggin affair or that Sherri Alexander was Michael Crichton's widow. Wiggin was on GL a year after he left ATWT as a farmer involved with Holly and Annie.

ATWT's final year brought out a scandalous affair between Austin Peck and Terri Colombino allegedly resulting in Peck's firing. Also I remember Hunt Block and Cady McClain were involved at some point.

Hmmmm..didnt know that either...Props was a beautiful female but that hair totally ruined her look. Jon sure got around....lol. I could see the ladies going after him. He sure was hot until up to 2000 or so....he started losing his hair and that fake hair piece looked back on him. I never understood why he didnt hook up with either Lily...Rattray and especially Byrne.

The 12/77 synopsis - who was this woman Bob met when she gave Frannie a gift?

I'd never heard of this Mark character.

It seems to me like they were struggling mightily at this time to figure out how to create stories for vital characters - I wonder if they should have been rested instead. I always get this feeling when reading these synopses regrading Susan in the late 70's.

I have a question and I'm not sure what thread to stick it in, so this seems as good as any. Does anyone know when the soaps (in general) or P&G (in particular) began to produce their soaps on their own? Everyone knows that ATWT, AW, SFT, etc. are P&G soaps, but for years they (and other "sponsored owned" soaps & TV shows) were produced by the advertising agencies FOR the sponsors. I have a 1970 ATWT script and on the cover page it lists the agency as Young & Rubicam, Inc (as does the script for the 1st episode of AW). P&G is mentioned no where on either script.

I am pretty sure they are now married. The time between the engagement and the marriage was a sneeze and you miss it. She didn't take his last name professionally (she is still credited on OLTL as Terri Conn.) Though with a last name like Peck, I could see why. It's like having a fat person with the last name of Fit.

Also I noticed the show had a huge number of 3 named actresses at one point. Kelley Menigan Hensely, Colleen Zenk Pinter, Alyson Rice Taylor I know there were others. But I remember looking at the cast list and there were a bunch of 3 named actresses.

Zenk was also credited as Zenk Crouch during her first marriage. Mary Lynn Blanks was one of the Annies. Don't forget Kim Johnston Ulrich.

Yeah, Columbino/Conn and Peck finally made it legal this year, around the 4th of July. (the less said on the merits of being a "-Peck" the better)

Not only were Block/McClain an item, the last I heard, McClain and Lindstrom were.

I finally got around to watching some of the ATWT set. The biggest surprise? Von Furstenberg sounds incredibly like Fulton to me. I wonder if Fulton regrets not working with "son" Dees?

Jeff Hamlin was smoking HOT...who could anyone say he was not a hunk??? Though he was so nice the only drama would have been Emily screwing up again....unless they revealed Jeff was bisexual but that was probably just my fantasy.

Hated Larry though.

Don't forget Susan Marie Synder...I thought Dees did work with Fulton in 81. Columbino/Conn and Peck are just yuck in so many levels.

Jeff was hot. I did like Larry but the actor mouth totally ruined his hotness.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted
