[danfling]

Did you list that Francesca James appeared on The Secret Storm?

 

Also, I only recently remembered that Jane Manning (who I knew had been on Love of Life and Love Is a Many Splendored Thing) had appeared on Another World as a nurse.   This was during the time that Marianne Randolph had her abortion, and Ms. Manning played a care-giving nurse.

[slick jones]

I'll addAW to JManning's credits.  Francesca James is in the last post on page 17 under characters without names.

Thanks for all your input, Terry.

Actress Gaye Huston was on SS for 3 months, ATWT for 1 month prior to AW.

[slick jones]

Toni Darnay was also a nurse on EON

 

THE DOCTORS

9/18/69...clinic patient yelled at by Mike Powers...?

9/22/69...woman in train station(not Julie)...???

Ginger Gerlach(Julie Forrest ) was also on EON and LIAMST

Ted Danson's Dr. Mitch Pierson was only around for two days(read his anecdote on We Love Soaps) as a doctor who told a family their daughter was terminal

 

I went through my radio cast lists, and I didn't find Sallie Brophy or Arlyne Frank, so I'm assuming they were on TV soaps...

Bess Johnson, who played Irene Barron on SFT was also on LOL as Mrs. Vento

[Paul Raven]

I.ve combed through The Doctors lists but haven't seen Roger Woodson listed,Variety has him joining the cast in Dec 72.

Also,Betsy Von Furstenburg appeared on LIAMST in July 1972

May 72 Variety reported Robert Symonds for WTHI

Edited September 2, 2015 by Paul Raven

[slick jones]

Roger Woodson in 1972  as far as the hunting around I did, was a baseball player(unless it's another Roger Woodson), so I'm thinking he was there in a small role, possibly a patient...I'll look around the internet some more, so I'll add him to the actor list.  I'll add BVF to LIAMST and Symonds was Will Wattson  WTHI as well. Thanks for the info.  I'm trying to update the lists that are already posted  before I post any new ones.  I found a Verdict Is Yours cast member...Sallie Brophy as girl suing for alienation of affection.  Brophy appeared between 1950 and 1955 as Elaine Harrington for five weeks on an unnamed soap that had trouble finding sponsors. I've been hunting, but had no luck finding the show.

[Paul Raven]

In addition to appearing in the late 50's on Secret Storm,Roy Poole was on in 1973.

Poole is one of those actors who turned up on every NY soap for years.

[slick jones]

He and Nicholas Pryor were all over like horse ****. Lawrence Weber, too. I've been updating a notebook I found from 1999 or 2000 with actors and their various roles.  So many additions since I had the Internet to fill in. Byron Sanders was on nearly everything , too

[Paul Raven]

Variety has Margaret Hamilton into Secret Storm in October 63.
