That interview with Carol Roux posted a few pages back was very, very interesting. I wonder what she is doing now. Does anyone know if she ever married or had children?

P.S. Apparently, she never did wed Rick Coonce of the Grass Roots, whom she was mentioned as dating in that article. Sadly, he passed on in 2011, leaving a wife named Nancy and two children.

Harry Johnson was played by Fred J. Scollay from April 8, 1970 until 1972. There may be some confusion because Harry used the name Ike Harding. Harry, of course, was the father of Tony Cooper and the man that Laura felt that she loved.

The scene in which Sam Lucas figured out that Harry and Ike may be the same person is a favorite memory I have of this show.

I have been watching the final season of the old 60's sitcom Hazel. I read that Ray Fulmer who played Steve Baxter that final season was on Somerset. Fulmer also played the role of Lee Gantry on Guiding Light in the late 60's/early 70's.

Lynn Borden who played Fulmer's wife Barbara Baxter on Hazel is listed as having a role on General Hospital in the early 60's.

I stand corrected about Harry Johnson. Harry Johnson was also a character on Dark Shadows, played by the late Craig Slocum. I wonder if, perhaps, the mention of a Somerset character could be a mistake.

The Harry on Somerset used Presidential names. Ike was from Eisenhour, and Harding was from Dwight Harding. In his real name, Harry was from Truman, and Johnson was from Lyndon B. Johnson.

Ray Fulmer was on the final season of Hazel. Hazel, which had been on NBC, had moved to CBS. The show's star, Shirley Booth, used her own money to finance the CBS season. Ray Fulmer played the brother of Don DeFore. I guess that he and Whitney Blake (who was once the mother-in-law of David Birney of Love Is a Many Splendored Thing and The Best of Everything) were too expensive to use, so the two new characters were introduced.

On the soap operas, Mr. Fulmer played two villians. I do not know why because he could have played some very nice characters. I understand that he invested his money very wisely and thus no longer has a need to work. I also understand that about Anthony Call (The Edge of Night, The Guiding Light, For Richer For Poorer, One Life to Live). Ironically, Mr. Fulmer and Mr. Call were in competition for the same lady (Dr. Sara McIntyre) on The Guiding Light. Perhaps they shared investment conversation.

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
    • I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.
    • You won't even miss her because Nola will be dominating the show till Raven comes back. Literally... there will be no boring second. Nola is just starting. You won't believe what will follow. Haha. And then as soon as that storyline is finishing up, Raven is back in top form.
