Much appreciated. There are guess-timates and errors, but some of us <coughs> are not afraid to acknowledge errors, and don't get resentful (or lie and misrepresent ourselves.  It's always been my plan to share my cast information. When I joined this board, I decided there were enough real soap fans that would be interested. After meeting @depboy, @jam6242 and @Paul Raven and others who all share their knowledge and research makes this a great place to share. Between this thread and Hoppers. it's great. Of course I can't share my opinions in threads started by a certain member of the board per the moderator because I'm too vitriolic apparently.  So I can't discuss my soap here.  But I do add to its very large cast list quite often.

Mr. Brando  ?????    July 1968 Rose's husband, Bob's patient, received house calls after being in the hospital; Bob wanted to keep Rose occupied so she wouldn't give Mr. Brando stress.
Rose ____  Brando     Ethel Everett (Remey)    July 1968  wife of Mr. Brando. impressed that Bob was doing so well as a doctor without his eyesight (to Pa Hughes); It was Bob's opinion that Mr. Brando would recover fully if she were to spend less time with her husband, alleviating the stress on his system.
Dr. ___ Thompson  ?????     July 1968   Chuckie's pediatrician; contacted Bob re: a large abdomen obstruction.
 
@Paul Raven could Remey have played both characters? Or was someone else playing one of the roles?

Seams to be two Ethel Everetts. One per NY Times died in 1973.

Ethel Everett, an actress who started in radio in 1931, the year she graduated from Hunter College, died Monday at her, home, 180 West 58th Street. She was 63 years old.....and “As the World Turns,” in which she played Mrs. Brando 

Ethel Remey. who played Alma until 78, died in 79, seems to have used Everett also at one point , hence the confusion.

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer. 
    • I wish I cared about the homeless lady as much as everyone else seems to. After the nothing burger that was the lawsuit, this just feels like another boring Naomi storyline at Orphy Genes since she has no office.
    • That's great to hear. Thanks. I wish that was more readily available.
    • Just learned that Clifton Davis wrote this song!  I had no idea.

    • I think even if Marland had wanted to write more for Sara/Adam, his hands would have been tied as Robert Milli was one of the actors dumped by P&G due to his age.  From the bits and pieces I've seen of that period, Sara does have a key role in the Carrie plot, and Marland briefly gave her son Tim a more important part. I'm not sure if they just gave up on Tim once Kevin Bacon left or if they never really cared. I did not even know for many years that there was an actor in the part after Kevin...and then not one, but two. The Spauldingfield video on Tim doesn't even show the last actor (Nigel Reed), which kind of says it all. Anyway, I do get the sense Marland has some use for Sara, or for Millette. It's only after he goes that she is dumped. Of course he didn't ever hire her for his other shows, so maybe I'm wrong. (then again he never hired Geraldine Court either and he seemed very fond of her) Ann is an odd character to me as she is a proto-Lillian in being defined by pining for a Bauer brother and being involved in the death of one of their wives. I do wonder what else they could have done with her. She was friends with Diane, wasn't she? They could have had Diane manipulate her against Mike, I suppose.
    • Yassss....come on Maurice and Brandon...give us nothing!!! Wow, their need to develop their craft shone like a blinding light this episode. Brandon in his Martin and Smitty scenes sounded like he was reading and the facial expressions were giving Disney Channel. He did much better against Maurice in the Martin v Ted scenes. Now, Teddd-dyy (Dana's voice) was just flat. I watched the episode just now after reading the comment on here that Maurice needs to stop swaying, and now I can't unsee it. Has it really been this bad all along?  Ambyr carries. I don't need to say anymore. I am kind of excited to see this Kat/Tomas/Eva stuff play out.  Bill is such a dick to Dani. Like that's the mother of your children that you cheated on with your daughter's best friend but you look to take those low blows. Lord! When he said that thing about it being obvious he didn't care about Dani anymore since he was the one that walked out...that was cold. I even felt for Dani. Bill definitely is all over the spectrum. You can see a villain possibly surfacing, but you also see this great father. The elder Duprees move a little funny. I'm wondering what that is all about. Are they just overly protective matriarch and patriarch because they think it's what's best for their family, or are they afraid their secrets will come out or there's something more sinister there. Why would Vernon want to keep that information from Martin?  I hope something interesting comes out of this June stuff, but as of right now, I'm not too invested. It's not helping my interest on Naomi or Jacob either. However, tge actress playing Naomi has comes a long way from day one.
