Members DRW50 Posted November 14, 2010 Members Share Posted November 14, 2010 I wanted to start this for any OLTL stuff I put up, and in case anyone else has any they might want to include. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted November 14, 2010 Members Share Posted November 14, 2010 I know Eileen got hooked on painkillers after husband Dave died, and that Josh was her (very young) connection. I think both she and Julie just faded out to Florida after the Dorian/Mark/Victor arc. I always wanted to see another Siegel kid come on and try to ingratiate his or herself into Viki's life due to the Riley family connection. The show didn't make enough of the blended Irish-Jewish roots there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 14, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 14, 2010 It's too bad so much history from the show's first ten or so years was phased out because they probably thought the families were old hat or played out. There's still a lot of material there, especially for the Woleks. It's interesting that Alice Hirson and Doris Belack were both on OLTL for many years then went on to such lengthy careers. It goes to show just how underrated soap casting is, or was anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted November 18, 2010 Members Share Posted November 18, 2010 I wonder if it had anything to do with GH's success with phasing out so many old characters? Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 24, 2010 From the January 1972 TV Dusk to Dawn (Ideal Publishing Corp), an interview with "Tom Lee Jones." I will type up the article later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 3, 2010 From the January 1979 TV Dawn to Dusk. (Ideal Publishing Corp). OLTL turns 10. Strange that a lot of the more longrunning cast members aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 3, 2010 Members Share Posted December 3, 2010 Please note Jacquie Courtney up front, with Erika Slezak probably in a broom closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 3, 2010 Oh that's right this was when they were phasing Viki out of the show? Jacquie looks a bit like Lauren Bacall there. I have another article I'll put up later if I can, it's an early interview with Erika and they call her the Thinking Man's Marilyn Monroe. Sometimes I take for granted how many years Erika's put in at OLTL. I can't imagine the show without her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted December 4, 2010 Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Is that Jane Badler (Melinda) on the far right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 4, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 4, 2010 Comparing anyone to Marilyn Monroe is odd...I guess it was because she was wearing shorts in the photos, I don't know. That might be Jane. At first I thought it was Claire Malis but she's wearing black. I hope someone at OLTL might see the word "Melinda" and bring her back. MelindaMelindaMelinda...
