Andrea was part of the Moore family, some rich, gothic family. She was frequently ill. She was being poisoned by someone who would wander through the Moore mansion at night, dressed as Jingles the Clown, an old childhood toy of hers.

Knowing how many people had and to this day have a fear of clowns, I'm sure many people in the audience were freaked out by this story. I'm guessing it was a Slesar story because it sounds like something he would have written for EON.

[DRW50]

It was, yes.

Thanks for clarifying!

Check out the awesome Somerset website for details on the show and many of the stories:

That is a great site. The webmaster obviously put a lot of work and heart into it.

I have been watching Pamela Toll on The Doctors' reruns. I had never seen her before her Somerset role.

I had only known her as Pammy Davis on Somerset. I liked her in that role. Pammy seemed a much younger, juvenile role than Liz on The Doctors. I am finding that she was excellent in both types of roles.

I cannot remember if Pammy was a high school student at the beginning of Another World: Somerset or not, but her a large portion of her scenes were with high school characters and with Sandy Buchanan. Was Pammy after David Grant?

On this show, she is a young actress, but the character seems much more mature (even more mature than Dr. Bellini on The Doctors).

I am not sure why she departed Somerset, although it was probably due to a change in the writer (Robert Cenedalla created the role, but Henry Slesar became the new headwriter. Her parents were written off, so maybe she was too.)

She had a role in at least one Walt Disney movie. I never saw that, but I suspect that she was again playing a younger, less sophisticated character.

I also have spotted her in commercials over the years. I read that she was also in a famous music video.

[amybrickwallace]

Which music video?

It is sad that Ed Kemmer, Paul Sparer, Michael Lipton, Joel Crothers, and Harriet Hall have all passed away,
