Yes, the Joan Blackman issue is a mystery. She was quite a name actress at the time,so puzzling that her role would never be listed. If it was just a guest spot,then why would she appear in a cast photo?

Seeing the men all suited up with flowers in buttonholes has me thinking it must have been a wedding being taped?

Maybe her character was a relative of the bride or groom?

Bear with me, guys!

To follow up on last few previous posts about Joan Blackman, I wanted to post this photo from the wedding of Lucille March (Lucille Wall) to Al Weeks (Tom Brown):

gh-audrey-lucille.jpg

I've seen this photo many times over the years, and when Paul Raven pointed out the clothes the cast were wearing in the cast photo I posted before, I immediately realized that the cast photo was taken on or about the same day the wedding scenes were filmed. Looking at the two photos, you can see Diana, Peter, Sharon and Jane are wearing the same clothes in both. Now to the mysterious part.

The photo from the wedding scenes are posted online on various sites as being shot in 1974. But I looked in a copy of Daytime TV Super Special (No. 1, dated 1973) and according to them the wedding of Lucille and Al took place in 1971. Which would correspond to the date that Joan Blackman was listed in a script from September of '71. Also, Indus Arthur is in the cast photo, and by all accounts that I can find, her character of Brooke Clinton was gone by 1974 (although Arthur isn't in the photo from the wedding scene).

Lastly, and I didn't notice this until last night, and I shared with slick jones in a PM, that I believe in the wedding scene photo, Joan Blackman is seated next to Peter Hansen (Lee Baldwin). In the past, I've always assumed that the woman next to him was Anne Helm, who played Mary Briggs, RN. I don't know much about the Briggs character other than that she was a nurse, her husband was in jail when she came to town and she "dated" Lee. Anne Helm is listed to have been on General Hospital from 1971-1973. Now, this is pure speculation on my part, but could Anne Helm have replaced Joan Blackman as Nurse Mary Briggs?

Here's Blackman (circa 1970) and Anne Helm (circa 1972):

Thoughts?

I'm thinking that Joan was a temp replacement for Anne and if it wasn't for those few references,like many others she would have gone unreported and unnoticed.

I also looked up George Wright to see if he had any connection to Ms Blackman and found out he is a highly respected musician.

Summary of an episode around 68?

, Dr. Griffiths is opposed to Dr. Hardy's recommendation of Dr. Tracy Adams as the hospital's kidney specialist because Adams is a black woman. Dr. Brewer gets a phone call from Jessie while Polly is in the room with him. Griffiths and Hardy confront each other about Adams and her qualifications. Hardy says he'll resign if the hospital board rejects her. Meanwhile, Polly shocks Brewer with her announcement of sincere affection for him.

This first patient is beautiful. Is she from primetime? Patsy Rahn holds her own as Monica.

They really de-aged Diana when BB took over...VS is great. Adam Streeter...never seen him onscreen before...

I didn't realize Lesley v Monica was around this early. At 3 minutes in Diana is talking to Mrs. Endicott, the woman who took away adopted son Mike. I swear I know her voice/ face from daytime...How I miss Gail/Lee...young Lauratongue.png

Reading synopses from Sudsluva's trading site he named some characters that I never heard of . Does anyone else know anything about:

suicidal Carol Lindsay 1966

Husband Dr. Peter Lindsay, who was divorcing her 1966

Jimmy, young patient of Steve Hardy Dec. 1963

Dennis, patient of Steve Hardy...1964

Dr. Nelson Audrey's OBGYN 1968

Was wondering about cast names, pictures, or story info if possible. Thanks

    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why. 
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.
