@DRW50  When I was checking the AWHP last night, I noticed that Mike added the information from 1994 that you posted here. I forwarded it to him a few weeks ago, and last night was the first time I looked through the Dayplayers  in a while. Just wanted to pass that along.

That site is so thorough I didn't even realize they would not have the info already. Thanks so much for telling me. If I ever feel like it I will have to dig through more of my magazines and scans to see if I have any other listings not already out there.

About 8 years ago I sent Eddie all the characters/actors that I had that they didn't. (Most of them had no dates, and as videos have popped up, they have been dated). He had Mike add them in, but as  they received a ton of the 1964-74 scripts, Mike has really had his work cut out for him. As thorough as it is, they still continue to keep adding more. In the past six months, he had found roles for Larry Keith and Bernie Barrow that had been rumored about for years. Another big find for Mike was the late Lanna Saunders as a temp Lee Randolph--complete with on set photos from their table reads and dress rehearsals.   Sometimes he messages me for help, and Jane (Jam) has uncovered things for him.

Anyhoo, enough rambling from me--they appreciate any heads up that improves their site, so thank you.

Messages from Mike McGavin

Maybe she played Sylvia Dowling a juror during Pat's trial who had lines of dialogue during jury deliberations. Otherwise, her role may have been a jury spectator or recurring extra

Does he know the actor who played Pete [later Fred] Douglas for one episode in October 1965? Can't find that.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
