Was White just a temp recast? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted January 19, 2014 Members Share Posted January 19, 2014 Does anyone know who played Terry Andrews, murder victim on LIAMST? Does anyone know who Larry Bryggman played? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted January 19, 2014 Members Share Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks , I have cast lists from all of the US soaps, and I try to fill in some of the blanks I have... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted February 16, 2014 Members Share Posted February 16, 2014 I am not sure about who Larry Bryggman played. It must have been during the early months of the show. I also do not know who played Terry Andrews. Is that who was murdered by Jock? She may have never been seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted February 19, 2014 Members Share Posted February 19, 2014 This soap sounds so different from others, and yet compelling. Too bad there's next to nothing of it on YT. From a 1968 CBS soaps promo, it was funny for me to see Donna Mills as the innocent young wife afraid that her husband will stray - when she would achieve her greatest fame in the future as Abby Fairgate Cunningham Ewing Sumner on Knots Landing - the type of woman a husband would stray WITH.

Members danfling Posted February 21, 2014 Members Share Posted February 21, 2014 Donna had played a real party girl earlier on The Secret Storm named Rocket. She said that the crew would call her "Sister Rocket" while she was on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 5, 2014 Members Share Posted March 5, 2014 "Sister Rocket" - sounds like a punk band. LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted October 5, 2014 Members Share Posted October 5, 2014 I can't believe y'all haven't posted/discussed this yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v4PvfmyOWA There's no sound, but it's a bunch of clips from March 1973, in color! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted October 5, 2014 Members Share Posted October 5, 2014 Pretty amazing footage. I assume that's Barbara Stanger, who resembles Donna Mills quite a lot. What was up with that credit about "A Day in the Life of a Daytime Dramatic Show"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 6, 2014 Members Share Posted October 6, 2014 In her memoir Untied, Meredith Baxter wrote about when she first began working with David Birney on Bridget Loves Bernie, he thought of himself first and foremost a great theatre actor who seemed to resent the fact that his greatest fame at that point in time was from being on the soap opera. Apparently he didn't take into consideration that not many people across the country could see him in a play, but they COULD watch him every day on TV, and that's why the soap had given him his greatest fame up to that point. Ironically, today he is much better known to the general public not for his acting but the fact that he was once married to Meredith Baxter and the father of three of her five children. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted October 6, 2014 Members Share Posted October 6, 2014 Yes, that's the gorgeous Barbara Stanger. According to the description on YT, this was a documentary produced in the early 70s about the making of an episode of a soap opera, and they included some of the finished scenes at the end. The poster purchased the documentary on eBay and it came without an audio track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2014 Thanks for finding that for us, AMS. Sucks to have no sound but this is still a treat. Betsy Chernak is on that top 5 or top 10 list of soap characters I've always wanted to see and never think I will. Now I guess I have at least, literally, seen her. Imagine someone who looks like a normal person being cast on a soap role like that today. Here's a brief Daytime TV piece on Linda Fidler Wendell, who took over a few months before cancelation. http://www.welovesoaps.net/2012/03/fidler.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 6, 2014 Members Share Posted October 6, 2014 She really did work her way up. Did she ever work in soaps again after that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
