re Michael Romano. I never knew till now that he and Jay Novello were one and the same. I'm guessing he changed his name when he left Chicago for the West Coast and perhaps didn't want to be known as a soap actor?

I'll add these to the 60+ list I'll post this evening.

Page One list updated.  I'm adding the above six now.

The last time I was looking through my OLTL notes, I almost started a profile on McDaniel, but I needed a break that night.
