Members jam6242 Posted November 8, 2021 Members Share Posted November 8, 2021 I don't know the actor sitting with Wanda, but I think that memorial might have been for Vinnie, not Jim Craig. Found the first article in a March 6, 1981, newspaper re Vinnie's death. Nat Polen died in May 1981. Found the second article in an August 22, 1981 newspaper. It appears that Jim Craig's death wasn't commemorated on-screen. Found the third article in an August 2, 1982, newspaper. @slick jonesDon't know whether you already have this name, but a real priest, Father George Moore, appeared as the priest for Vinnie's funeral.

Members Paul Raven Posted November 8, 2021 Members Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) A couple of questions following on from those articles posted. How much longer did Anna remain on the show? Like her husband, Anna just faded away, but do we have a final airdate? In the synopsis 'Richard and Betty separate'. Who is Betty?

Members slick jones Posted November 9, 2021 Members Share Posted November 9, 2021 Becky Lee. Anna lasted until mid-1982 as a talk-to and babysitter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissPalmer Posted November 9, 2021 Members Share Posted November 9, 2021 Thank you very much! Definitively, it must be Vinnie's funeral....Wanda is in big sorrow....and maybe that man next to her could be her brother (Paul, I think)....the one who appeared in her wedding in February 1975 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted November 9, 2021 Members Share Posted November 9, 2021 Yeah, Since Joel Higgins was a bigger name by then they must have recast for Vinnie's funeral. Too bad we never got to see Donna-- Jason's mother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nicholas Blair Posted November 9, 2021 Members Share Posted November 9, 2021 Thanks to everyone for all the information. For years I thought OLTL was set in "Landview" until a scene where Viki and Joe register at an inn, and the hotel register clearly shows "Llanview, Pa." That may have been around the time that Viki had to choose between her two husbands. I was not familiar with the Welsh influence in that part of Pennsylvania. But then, thanks to the mushy diction of the young actors on Y&R, I thought that show was set in "General City"! Several years later I read something about "Genoa City." Speaking of Richard and "Betty" (Becky Lee), I thought Jill Voight was an absolute delight and that she and Richard were an adorable couple. JV had a genuine Southern accent of the slightly nasal variety, what linguists call the "Inland South" accent. I liked Mary Gordon Murray well enough as the recast Becky Lee with all the rough edges gone, but Jill Voight was one of a kind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted November 9, 2021 Members Share Posted November 9, 2021 Actor identified. The man hugging Wanda is actor Bill Fiore. I'm presuming it's Wanda's brother Paul. Fiore is best known for this commercial and appeared as a lawyer on RTPP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted November 9, 2021 Members Share Posted November 9, 2021 Yeah, I always forget that the Buchanan's didn't literally bring the "D" (as in BDE) to Llanview when Asa moved to town Please register in order to view this content Thanks for the reminder 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members danfling Posted November 11, 2021 Members Share Posted November 11, 2021 When Cassie and Rob first met and their storyline began, which actress (Cusi Cram or Ava Haddad) was playing Cassie? I really liked Ted Marceaux as Rob. I like Mark Arnold (Rob #2), but I think that Mr. Marceaux was better. I have been suprised that his career has not been bigger since leaving One Life to Live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
