I’ve heard most of the younger actors were fairly green. Biff had a substantial amount of story in these final episodes. Grant Wilson may not have had the time yet to really develop the character for himself in order to make Biff the strong anti-hero he could be. His sexual escapades are trite, but his other interactions tend to be rather interesting. I think the Francie / Biff relationship is interesting and I wonder if they played the dynamics between them and their parents is rather interesting.

For a character that gets all the soft core porn stories, Biff is a rather complex character. After sleeping with a stranded motorist, a hitchhiker, and the family maid in the course of a day, Biff has a rather involved conversation with his aunt Miranda before the start of the party.

There is more to Biff’s interest to Cynthia, which seems to have missed the script. In the previous installment, Greg warns Biff not to flirt with Laurel or Cynthia because they are not like Biff’s women. After Greg socks Biff in the jaw, Biff, alone, deduces Greg is involved with one of these two women and plans to flirt with both in order to incite jealousy from Greg. While Biff seems to have figured out about Greg / Laurel, I would assume Biff’s hypothesis about Greg / Cynthia is an undercurrent in the scene.

Another element I like about this scene is the relationship between Miranda and Biff. There is a sort of twisted parent bond between the two. Biff mentions learning about Pam and Clint, which doesn’t really seem to affect him. Miranda was involved with Clint so I suspect Biff uncovered this information for his aunt. Later, Miranda agrees to cover for Biff with Bryan when Bryan wants to send Biff to Santa Fe for a second time. At this point, Biff is a suspect and cannot leave town, but he doesn’t want his father to know he is considered a suspect.

Ida Richardson: his sister

Hud Richardson: her son

Myra Sowalsky and her two sons: Davey[+Francie], and Hank[+Shelley]

Muffy Spencer: victim #2

Amy Stanley: the girl in Phoenix

Kevin Wallace: rapist/stalker

Beau: lover, Madge & Miranda

Does anyone know who:

Thanks, I got most of the character's names from around this NDIE thread. I have been trying for years to find out more about this show. Thanks for any information anyone passes along!

Luanne Butler: dead student

I'm not sure this role was played by an actual actress. I think she was the final victim of the Campus Rapist. In the script, Greg and Laurel find the body, but I don't think she was a regular character.

Corinne Collier: wife, John

I can say with some certainty that Corinne didn't appear. Miranda drops the bombshell about Josh Collier's first wife in one of the final two episodes. I guess it is possible she made an appearance in a flashback, but it would seem unlikely.

Lori Novack: Shelley's cousin

The actress' last name was something like Michaelson. It is written on the cover of one of the scripts I have with her lines all marked up. The handwriting isn't very clear.

Beau: lover, Madge & Miranda

I got the impression Beau didn't appear in the story. The scripts I have start with Bryan Lewis and Madge returning from Atlanta. It's possible Beau was seen in the Atlanta scenes, but I don't think so.

Regarding Joe Franklin, he definitely appeared in a flashback where he raped Betty and I suspect the actor was also appearing as "Betty's stalker," but that would be more speculation.

I think Anne Lockhart played the first victim.

Rachel Todd and Cathy St. George both appeared on the show. I suspect Cathy played Pam Evans, but I really have nothing to go on other than someone once said Pam was played by a former Playboy Playmate.

Joe Franklin appeared in script #32, which covered parts 63 and 64. He was seen spying on Laurel at the Franklin cottage when she was being dropped off by Cynthia and Logan. When Kevin Wallace rapes Betty Franklin, Betty has a flashback of being raped by Joe before they were married. This flashback had previously been used in script #30. I don't have script #30 so I don't know the full context.

A maid name Honey appeared in several scripts. She was one of the women that Biff Lewis slept with.

In one script, Betty hears a voiceover from a woman named "Elizabeth" who tells her it would be terrible if Laurel were to learn the truth after all these years. "Elizabeth" doesn't appear in any more of my scripts and the reference is quite vague. The only thing I have thought is Elizabeth is Betty's mother since Betty is a nickname for Elizabeth.

To clarify, Myra Sowolsky and Dr. Hammond do not appear in any of the scripts I have. They are mentioned, like Beau, but Doug Marland is known for his large canvas of onscreen and offscreen characters. Similarly, Melvyn Masterson, Clint's father, is mentioned on several occasions and may have appeared onscreen. Again, he doesn't appear in anything I have.

A bit off topic, but Corinne Hamilton was the name of one of Doug Marland's cousins. I believe they both grew up on their grandparents farm at one point. That information comes from a census record.

      Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.

      I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube.

      Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her

      @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.

      I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
