Karen Lawrence was Roxanne Kimball. 

Sherry Moreland was Luisa Uvalde

David Bragen was Paco Uvalde

Bibi (Barbara) Boles was Caroline Hamilton

John Hudson was Kent Hamilton

Robert Patten was Milton Braddock

Tony Perez was Carl Martinez

 

Bernie Thomas was listed as playing the father of girl Fred dated in a December 1965 article. Fred was dating Jeanette in January 1966 when he left town. I would list him as Jeanette's father for now. 

 

Another article states the show's original title was "Point Paradise"

Theme: "Paradise Bay Theme" (vocal title: "Holiday In Paradise";) This was the final THEME of radio/TV composer Jack Meakin, who had been the NBC Music Director at one point in his career, and was best known as the music director of the "Great Gildersleeve" and bandleader for the Groucho Marx TV shows "You Bet Your Life" and "Tell It To Groucho"]

November 12 1965

HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - Daytime television soap operas have frankly become more and more spicy but on Monday, one of them, NBC • TV’s "Paradise Bay,” takes an unusual reserve step: By use of a unique plot and production device, it will offer a virtual lecture on sex education for most of Its air time.

 

This is how the device will proceed; “Paradise Bay” centers around the manager of a small radio station in a seaside Southern California community. He is portrayed by veteran actor Keith Andes. In the running plot, the subject of sex education has been a topic of controversy in the community. Andes decides to invite an expert on the subject to be interviewed by him on his station’s program, "Meet the Newsmaker.” Real Authority The expert Is a real-life authority, Dr. Paul Popenoe, president of the American Institute of Family Relations in Los Angeles, and he is Introduced as himself on the program. He is then interviewed by Andes for most of the show, with the scene set at a desk with a microphone in the radio station.

 

Early In the “interview". Dr. Popenoe urges parents to be frank with youngsters at an early age but suggests that parents could use some education themselves about how to be frank. Following are some sample excerpts that then are heard; Andes: Let’s suppose parents do everything you suggest won’t they still need some help? Popenoe: Of course. Parents can’t do it alone. The schools are going to have to get into the game and it might interest parents to know that in the areas where they have done so, the results are highly satisfactory. Numerous studies now show that the young people who get a reasonably good sex education course in high school and there are a good many such courses that they are the ones who start to date later in life. These youngsters who have learned that it doesn't pay to go steady too young are the ones who, when they do marry, make a better choice of a mate

 

Arguments Against

Andes; In your experience, what arguments have the opponents of your viewpoint used against the teaching of sex education? Popenoe: Actually, there are hardly any arguments. But one of the arguments —if it can be called an argument is that it should be taught in the home by parents. Of course, that’s true. But a good many children haven’t had any parents and in a good many other cases, they have a broken home. It might surprise you to leam that there are seven million such children in this country.

 

 “Paradise Bay” will probably be subject to some sarcastic comment to the effect that it is exploiting a serious and spicy subject under the guise of constructive programming. But I have read the script and disagree. There is nothing of sensational or shrewd exploitation about it. It is an interesting television experiment, and the possible vistas 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.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.
