Was he the first or the second Chuck?

Poor Tara is dressed for a day care.

Yeah, that's Jack Stauffer. He's the Chuck who was with Erica at the diner in the "I want to be special, and I'm going to be!" scene. That little article must be from somewhere in 1972 because Chuck #2 took over some time in that year, and that's also when all of the Margo/Jason stuff with Erica started.

Most of what I've read says that Nancy didn't show up until '73, but I guess she was there a little earlier than that.

Leave Tara alone! She's working that paisley/polka-dot monstrosity.

Now I just wish we had photos where she holds a guitar or talks about EST (two of the staples of these articles).

Susan Lucci the ESThole.

I like these grainy b&w peaks inside these soap actors' relatively modest apartments. Reminds me of the Beverlee and Scott McKinsey doing jazz hands one Carl!

Yes - Mama Wore Taps. AKA, did Scott McKinsey ever go to school again?

I like that phone Susan is using. I wonder if it was heavy.

I think there are other photos of this Chuck with better hair.

This is just great. I wonder if he got any comments from ABC on some of that interview.

I love the disco photo - I never get enough of the era when soap actors had to disco. And I love how pissed off Julia Barr looks in that one photo.

Did you know they had Mark La Mura play Eric Kane in flashbacks? I never knew that. There's one magazine that has a photo of him as Eric.

I wish PP would bring Mark back.

AHHHH. Mark...Mark Mark Mark...take me now.

That's my soulmate, yall. That man. Right there.

And look at my sexy Kane siblings gettin' down!

Love that disco pic. Mark's awkward on the verge of white man's overbite stance and Erica in full on pose.

Carl, I did not know that about ML playing Eric in flashbacks, really wish I could see that. He does resemble Albert Stratton (who was of course cast later).

AHHHH. Mark...Mark Mark Mark...take me now.

That's my soulmate, yall. That man. Right there.

And look at my sexy Kane siblings gettin' down!

Damn only if I was in the 1970s

I love the pointing at the floor. What is that?

He reminds me of Robert Hays in Airplane.

My pal sent this to me a while back. This was from the last day of taping in New York. We have some of the actors but most of them are the behind the scenes peeps. I could have sworn she sent me a huge picture of this but this is what I found:

I thought Jennifer Bassey was off the show by this point.

That poor crew. I hope they've managed to find other good jobs, if that's even possible today.

You can see the sadness on so many of their faces Part of me wishes the show would have just ended at the 40th anniversary.

Re: Mark. I read something long ago, don't even remember where, about his wife disappearing at some point. Does anyone know at all what that's about?

Carl, she was, I believe. She was out by the early summer of 2009. Maybe she was paying a visit to the set on the final day?

I'm trying to see if I recognize anybody besides the actors. JBW (Casting Director) is next to Alicia. JHC (EP) is in a corner. Glasses and black shirt/jeans woman (front, right) is writer Addie Walsh, I think, or whatever the name of LB's right-hand woman. Yeah, that's all I got.

I love the pointing at the floor. What is that?

Disco finger, a la Travolta... I'm assuming it was pointing straight up into the air in the prior frame.
