Soap Opera Cast Lists and Character Guides- Cancelled and Current

[slick jones]

So far on the last week of March(forget the day, I'll look it up). He appears again soon, at the beginning of April, 1969. His name was in today's credits, so any day now...

March 25, 1969...Joey Baio as Eric...Scott and Jimmy Baio's cousin!!!!

To Slick: I saw David Purdham on an episode of The Doctors. I think that he played Phillip Townsend.

Wasn' Mr. Purdham later on All My Children in a recurring role?

Also, I have been wanting to ask you this for several months. There was an actor on All My Children named David Hayward (not to be confused with the character of Dr. David Hayward.) The character that he played was a contract role and was a friend of Jeremy Hunter. What was the name of this character?

[slick jones]

Larry Barnes was the character played by actor David Hayward on AMC. He was Jeremy's former partner.

Ralph Purdum was the actor playing Philip Townsend. Actor David Purdham appeared on AMC as Travis Montgomery's assistant, Mort; OLTL as Agent Fred Porter;RH as Father Emmerich; Y&R as Dr. Campbell and Mr. Tipton; GH as Agent Bates. He has appeared on others, but I don't have my notes with me.

THE DOCTORS

Mr. Robles...????...4/2/69...patient , Althea

Jake Hendricks...Never Seen...4/2/69...sent Nancy Bennett flowers

[danfling]

Oh, I am sorry for confusing the names of Ralph Purdum and David Purdham.

Upon further investigation, I learned that Ralph Purhum was married, at one time, to actress-turned businesswoman Melisande Congdon-Boyle. They later divorced. She was a stage actress (My Fair Lady) who did not appear in movies or television as far as I can tell.

Her brother, though, was James Congdon (Another World, Somerset, Ryan's Hope), and he was married and divorced from Mary Fickett (The Nurses, The Edge of Night, All My Children).

[slick jones]

That's really interesting. I read his wife's name was Melissande(like his daughter on the show), but I didn't know the six degrees to Mary Fickett/ James Congdon.

No worries on the mix up, I do the same thing with similar names.

Thanks for all the input.

Slick, have you come across any information about Ralph Ellis that would prove or disprove that the Ralph Ellis who was an actor on Our Five Daughters is the same Ralph Ellis who wrote soap operas?

If not, would you be looking for such information as you investigate and do all of the things that you do?

[slick jones]

I have not come across anything one way or another, but I will look into it when I have a little free time.
