Soap Opera Cast Lists and Character Guides- Cancelled and Current

[Paul Raven]

No definitely Alan Castner mentions the role in a Broadway resume.

 

That's a bit of a mystery as the other roles for Tom Cannon were in the 80's so seems like a different actor. Would Anthony Cannon be doing what seems like a bit part in 1969?

[slick jones]

Cool.  I only asked because I found zero imdb credits with the name.

 

It's possible.  It may have stretched over a few weeks...

She's under Ryan (I added this).  Pam married Tim at some point-- from what I read. If not, let me know.

[Paul Raven]

From what I can find, Tim was datie Evie but got a job offer out of town that was too good to pass up and left in Nov 76. No mention of Pam and no reason I could see that a marriage would be mentioned later.

I just checked Soap Central and there is an entry stating Evie left town and Pam and Tim were married. Not so.This is not the first false entry I have come across at that site. Someone takes delight at posting false info.
