"Frank Ryan, meet Frank Ryan." 😊

 

Here's the best part: This episode of Hardcastle & McCormick aired on 9/30/1985.

 

John Sanderford debuted on Ryan's Hope 10/1/85, the very next day. (Geoff Pierson's final day on RH was 9/27...)

That's pretty awesome. I wonder if DHK called JS to congratulate him. 😎

Yes, they sure do. I found it on YouTube... but only in German dub.

Thank you for finding the episode!

Great little piece of trivia...thanks again! Love the timing! Reminds me of seeing Catherine Hicks ((Faith #3) on TV  playing Marilyn Monroe in Marilyn:The Untold Story on Sunday September 28, 1980 and then two days later, on Tuesday September 30, 1980, saw Faith Catlin (Faith #1) in the Vanessa Redgrave TV movie Playing for Time.

And I liked Pierson well enough. He's obviously a good actor and was interesting to watch in the role. What I didn't see as much of with him, was Frank's connection to Jillian. 

 

I think the main reason for that was GP didn't have nearly the sexual chemistry with NAA as he had with Cali Timmins as Maggie. Years later, the two married in real life and are still together.

Maree Cheatham and Louise Shaffer as Stephanie Wyatt, SFT. Poor Louise was basically still playing RH's Rae Woodard.

 

Speaking of Stephanie, was it ever explained how she went from being a nurse to owner of a TV station? I never was able to figure that one out.
