I don't think Ceara not taking off had anything to do with Genie Francis and her being associated with her GH character. She was fairly popular when she was on Days, but I think she quit when there was a writer change and her character got lost in the shuffle.

I think the problem with Ceara was that the writers didn't really know how to present the character. I faintly remember the first months of her character showing her to be a gold-digger.. trying to entice David while his father Jeremy decided to date her to save his son from her.. and even some Erica/Ceara sniping at one another. Once the incest story took over.. the character became this teary eyed character and never really recovered. The incest story made sense in a way.. since it helped explain why she was kind of bitchy and not wanting to get emotionally involved with someone.. but the show never really found a way to maintain the character's initial edge.

Same thing kind of happened with Gloria, when she was raped by Will. Though there were instances when she would revert to her previous con artist approach (case in point.. during her wedding renewal vows to Adam when she outed him for faking his kidnapping, or when she instantly knew Ryan lavery was trying to con her when he first came to town.).

Tom should have been a recurring character on One Life to Live when Skye moved to Llanview. He would have served as a confidante to her.


I had always thought that Tom was probably a player for the Cougers, the football team on which Alec Lownes played and that Asa Buchanan owned.

Thanks, Carl...I didn't know Holt McCallany (CSI Miami and others) appeared on AMC. I've been wondering who Virginia McKinsie played as well. I read her name a long while ao as having appeared on AMC...mystery solved! Arthur E. Jones was on uite a few shows, several times on GL and AW.

Glad it helped you. I hope we get to see the full episodes someday.

I love beauty shots on soaps - they really made soaps unique and you get more freedom in those bits at the end, more contemplative moments.

Cecily was such an interesting character in those days. With good taste in a bikini.

      Guiding Light Discussion Thread

      She could have easily tied them into the Cottage Mystery...(they could have easily explained going on adventures with Bea, babysitting) The house that Tony and Annabelle lived in could have been the coachhouse of the property that Qualo and Henry live in, or at the very least Nola would have been totally in on ghosts and secrets of her brother's house. But they kind of just sat around for months.  The clip of Van and Billy's impromptu wedding shows how sidelined Nola and Quint became...Nola isn't even around butting in on them getting married, its all Reva (though it is a more interesting Reva where Mindy and her or going at it and insulting each other..THAT Reva was fun.)  I loved it when those two would go at it. Somehow they could have resurrected that antogonistic relationship and not have Billy worshing at the throne of Reva.  When they brought JC back on recurring they should have had him at least warn Annie about Jeva pulling her down..."Darlin' I love my brother, but when he has ole Reva in his sites he will drop any woman to try to win her back...and then he will get bored with her...she's like booze is to me and you...he hates it but he needs it..get out while you can!"

      Somerset Discussion Thread

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      In an interesting turn of irony, when Somerset came onto the airwaves in 1970... it ran against Dark Shadows and beat it in the ratings fairly quickly.  Then when Edge of Night moves to ABC in December 1975 and put against Somerset, the slow ratings rise that Somerset was allegedly having in late 1975 is derailed. From reading the write ups of the final year, the show dropped the May/December romance.. which viewers enjoyed and was getting the show some good press... the original cast member was sidelined due to medical issues, and the show featured pure crime stories without any balance. I think the crime focus was an attempt to compete with EON.  However, people that were into crime stories/mysteries weren't going to tune into Somerset for their fix.. not when Edge of Night was known for that.. and that show was running on a high quality wise when the network switch occurred.

      Search For Tomorrow Discussion Thread

      By VelekaCarruthers · Posted

      Erwin Nicholson's last episode as SFT ep was 11/21. Whitesell started 11/22/85. Erwin was on board from March 8, 1985 so less than 9 months. Whitesell lasts six months (approximately) before P&G moved him to AW for two years where he primarily worked with DePriest. Whitesell was replaced on Search by no daytime experience David Lawrence who closed out the show's last six months.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By carolineg · Posted

      I assume in name only?  One Stormy Night wasn't exactly steamy.  If it's a literal throwback then Stephanie's writing about sexy times her own Uncle was having lol. Since I am going to surmise it's just a throwback to the name, Night Sins and Winter Heat both sound sexier.  Just saying.  I swear Jamey (and Ron) just google things and land on the first thing they like and decide it's a good throwback to history without watching it.

      I usually don't want Tide placement in the middle of an intense sad scene, but this is an interesting point
