September 1978 Daytimers

It's a shame this didn't succeed. I saw the opening episode years ago and it was nothing to write home about, but it really does sound like the show was building towards something by the end of the show's run. Once they realized they needed to move away from the short plots, the long story sounded fairly decent with Paula and Michael and the Stewart family's secrets.

Thanks, Carl. I don't think I say that enough.

I adored Van Johnson! The only soap opera work that he did was on Ryan's Hope playing himself.

I like Van Johnson too - just loved him in The Good Old Summertime.

Thanks both of you for reading this. I really appreciate it.

I was wondering about 2 characters. Was Marie Tauss,Carol and Victor's daughter on the show? Did anyone watch this show? Who was Dr. Jean Bataille? Anyone know who played him'her?

Based on the summaries Lynda Hirsch published, it sounds like Marie appeared on the show. Years ago, I saw the April premier at the Paley Center when it was still called the Museum of Television and Radio. The Tauss family was introduced until the summertime.

Dr. Jean Bataille was listed in the Montreal article I posted earlier as well as an CBC website that may or may not exist. I'm not sure Jean exists as a lot of the details listed in that article never seemed to come to fruition. If you can confirm one way or another, please share.

Promo toward the end of this.

 

High Hopes didn't stand out as any less low budget than CBC's other offerings...

Actress Dorothy Malone, who played Mrs. Herzog on High Hopes, has passed away.
