Members DRW50 Posted July 29, 2014 Members Share Posted July 29, 2014 One of the interesting things about these episodes is we may get to see some of her early stuff, as apparently when she started on the show they just had her talking at the nurse's station when episodes ran short. This became popular with viewers, and the show liked Carolee Campbell, so her role grew and grew. I wish saynotoursoap was here to talk about this.

Members amybrickwallace Posted July 29, 2014 Members Share Posted July 29, 2014 See - the network and the showrunners actually paid attention to the fans. Imagine that happening today? Perish the thought!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted August 10, 2014 Members Share Posted August 10, 2014 Has a date been announced yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members applcin Posted August 15, 2014 Members Share Posted August 15, 2014 Somebody posed the question today on Retro's FB page if they had an idea of a start date. They answered: "An idea, but not certain yet. We should be announcing it soon, though." They put up a preview clip. Hope somebody will upload the episodes to youtube. I've never seen the show before and I'd like to take a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted August 15, 2014 Members Share Posted August 15, 2014 Wow, the tapes look absolutely pristine! I forget they had a different theme song in the 60s before the more familiar one from the 70s that we've all heard/seen in its piano-pop arrangement on YouTube.

Members Paul Raven Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 That fight was Dr Nick Bellini vs Dr John Rice. Wonder what the issue was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 I seem to recall that Rice was not respected in general. Does anyone remember him being referred to as "Little Boy Doctor?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 Ugh. Seeing that preview pisses me off even more that DirecTV does not carry Retro TV! I seriously hope that someone posts the episodes on YT or Daily Motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RavenWhitney Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 It was horrible at the end. Never recovered after Doug Marland left as head writer. The final writers (Morgenroth/Kanter) penned a story about Adrienne who was really old but had a formula to make her young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted August 17, 2014 Members Share Posted August 17, 2014 As far out as the Adrienne/Felicia story sounds, at least the show had a dynamic young newcomer by the name of Nancy Stafford to make it somewhat work. She hasn't stopped acting since. Almost right after TD folded, she got a gig on St. Elsewhere, followed by a several season stint as Matlock's assistant. A pastor's wife, Ms. Stafford also writes inspirational books to show women their self-worth and is a highly respected motivational speaker. While Kathleen Turner and Alec Baldwin may be the two biggest names to come from TD, Nancy Stafford's career hasn't been anything to sneeze at, either.
