Slick had a question about the name of an actress who appeared on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing. Her name is Avis McCarther.

She was a model who appeared on the cover of Ebony magazine. She decided that she wished to begin an acting career, and this role on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing was one of her early roles. Later, Lisa Wilkinson, who had created the role of Nancy Grant on All My Children, decided to leave the show, and Avis McCarther was her replacement. Then, a few months later, Ms. Wilkinson returned to the role and played Nancy until the role was written off the show. (although Nancy did return for one of the anniversaries of All My Children)

[danfling]

Jill Andre also appeared on The Guiding Light as Dr. Sara McIntyre #2, on As the World Turns as Sandy McGuire Hughes #2, and on All My Children as a cellmate of Kelly Cole when Kelly was on trial for murder.

[danfling]

On The Doctors, I did not see the Jo Henderson episode either, but I was told about it on a post on danfling's cancelled soap opera messageboard.

I also understand that the actress who played Enid Nelson on All My Children was on an episode.

I have seen these people on The Doctors: Faith Catlin (Ryan's Hope), Paul Michael Glaser (Love of Life, Love Is a Many Splendored Thing), Mel Boudrot (All My Children), and Bernard Barrow (The Edge of Night, The Secret Storm, Ryan's Hope, Loving).

[danfling]

There was an earlier post about Maria on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing.

The actress who played her, Lisa Sarafin, later replaced Diane Dell as Lisa Britton on The Secret Storm.

Also, Jock Porter's mother was also seen on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing. She may have been on one of the lists above, but I did not see her. I cannot remember the name of the actress right now, but the actress had played Claire on As the World Turns.

[saynotoursoap]

Danfling, Judy Safran replaced Terry Falls as Lisa on The Secret Storm. Terry was a very brief replacement (fall 1971-spring 1972) for Diane.

On Love is a Many Splendored Thing, actress Jan Farrand played Jock's equally scheming mother Alexandra "Alex" Porter.

Avis McCarther was lovely. In the early 80's she was on As the World Turns as one of the nurses at Memorial.

[slick jones]

I also have Avis McCarther as appearing on GL in roles of Naomi and Louise, a polygraph technician.

Edited March 21, 2015 by slick jones

[danfling]

My understanding was that another actress played Jock's mother on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing. I remember John Karlen on the show, but I don't think that I ever saw his mother. I saw a clip of the show which had her. I did not know who the actress was, but I was told that she was an actress who had been on As the World Turns.

I am not denying that Ms. Farrand played the role, but the person who told me about this was viewing another actress or was wrong about the identification.

[saynotoursoap]

I wonder if the person who told you that had heard an audio recording? Jan Farrand and Gertrude Warner had very similar, quite unique speaking voices. Warner played Clare on ATWT.

Jan Farrand is the actress playing Alex in the episodes I have, and to my knowledge, no one else played the part.

I too am incorrect on occasion and can have a faulty memory at times, so I performed a quick internet search. The following article verifies that Farrand did appear as Alex.

https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1350&dat=19671231&id=zAhPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=kQEEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3076,5111383&hl=en

[slick jones]

Due up tomorrow, barring unexpected plans, Somerset. Just wrapping up gathering dates for appearances. Texas is next, halfway through the dates for Texas. Thanks for all the extra information, everyone.

I also have a list of As the World Turns characters Without actor's names I will be posting, before I start posting my cast list. That one will take a few days. I'm basically hoping to find out if the characters appeared on screen or were just mentioned. I'll probably post that this weekend.

'til tomorrow...

[danfling]

The clip from Love Is a Many Splendored Thing was visual - not audio only. I did not know who played the role, but whoever showed it to me said that it was Gertrude Warner. I never knew the name of the mother of Jock. Was it Alex?

Also, I meant to post this earlier. Martha Greenhouse (Ryan's Hope) created the role of Sarah Hanley on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing. Then, Sasha von Schuler (All My Children) played the role for the much longer amount of time.
