I had either forgotten that Leslie Charleson had a sister who was a performer or had forgotten about it. I would love to see a photograph of her!

I had not known that Donny Most had appeared on either Search for Tomorrow or Love of Life. He is a favorite of mine. (I do know that he was signed to be the star of Happy Days, but, after Paramount had Ronny Howard under contract, he was dropped into the supporting role of Ralph.)

Could be...it was in a question/answer article. I wondered why there would be two Nurses named Lori/Laurie at the same time, but sometimes with nurses/orderlies... I'll take her off the list and note the song to Laurie James Iverson. Thanks, I didn't see TD until I was about ten(1980), and I hadn't read about the song!

Do you know where you got this information? I know a lot of TV listings often confused actors on TV shows. I've seen an article that lists a full week of synopses for "A Time for Us" as occurring on "A

The premier of "High Hopes" is available for viewing at the Paley Center in New York. I saw it nearly 15 years ago. I don't remember Prinz being in the opening episode unless she was featured in the segment on Trudy Bowen's talk show. Is it possible she appeared later on?

Jackie Bertell played a second role on the show when it was a soap. Do you have that role?

Dr. Paul Popenoe appeared on the November 15, 1965 episode of "Paradise Bay." In the story, Barbara Pulaski, a high school teacher, was attempting to teach a sex education course at the high school. She met resistance from various members of the community, who wanted their children to boycott the sex class. Pulaski was supported by Jeff Morgan, the owner of the local radio station. Jeff brought Popenoe onto his station to address the town about the issue.

Regarding the sex education story, it was the story that immediately followed the Sally Baxter murder trial and was actually born out of it. In one article, I read Sally underwent an abortion in Mexico before she died. While Duke Spalding was accused, it was later revealed that another male character did it. I suspect he might have been the father of Sally's child. Anyway, this all seems to be the impetus for Barbara's push to bring sex education in schools as she knew information about Sally's death.

Leora Dana as Viola has always interested me as I've only seen in listed in Soap World. I suspect she appeared in only a couple episodes in April/May 1977. The synopses for the final weeks have Laurie fielding a phone call from her mother stating she was returning to Point Claire.

Chris Gifford was a doctor. He arrived in August or September 1978.

Marlowe appeared on "Lovers & Friends" in 1977. I don't think he made the transition. He was the Cushings' butler.

Barbara Manners was divorced. Phillip played in 1977. MacLaren in 1978.

Do you know if James Hall played any roles other than his roles on Dark Shadows or The Edge of Night?

On my messageboard, there is a poster who says that she saw an episode of The Secret Storm with Michael Zaslow playing Jerry Ames. Do you know anything about that?

You don't happen to know if Jane Draper played any roles other than Suki on Dark Shadows, do you?

    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

      @ranger1rg I even included a close up of his face for ya!
    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      Me when someone asks me to be proper and demure. 
    • This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.  
    • Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).
    • I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc
    • Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.
