You guys are awesome, thanks for sharing! Nice to see details on Agnes' last months with Gordon at OLTL. 

[All My Shadows]

So wait, re: AMC - Tad first appeared in 1972? I've seen 1973 established as his first appearance forever. I also didn't realize Tempo Magazine had been a part of the show going that far back.

I'd never heard of the Erica scheme of trying to play "happy housewife" for a magazine story, but it's so typical of her, and Mona no-doubt flusteredly (yet with conviction) played right along. Interesting that Phoebe and Charles aren't mentioned anywhere in these 1972-1973 summaries (yet). I wonder if Agnes had always intended for Charles to leave her for Mona or if the idea came to her while wondering what to do with them beyond just having Phoebe be disapproving of her children's romantic lives.

Also - the final years of Secret Storm really don't seem that bad! There's a really good April 1973 episode on YT (audio only), so it's nice to read a little more from the months before and after that ep. It sucks that the Ames family was old news by now, but the Mark/Laurie story seems like it hit a ton of beats over a long period of time. I'd love to see or hear some of the Texas stuff with the Reddins.

That is what I thought about Tad too but he probably first appeared in fall 1972. As the DNS was first published in December 1972, we can’t go further back

I don't think so..he was replaced by Bunim at ATWT and never heard from. I would think he retired as he was a P&G exec before he was a producer of the shows.

[Khan]

I'm not sure, but didn't Fred(die) Bartholomew also work at EON as a producer and/or director?

[Pine Charles]

Oh!!

A reference to Jenny (who, to my knowledge, didn’t appear on-screen until 1981).

Cool.

[Legacy]

Hey everyone i think i have reviewed this episode before, I wonder if any old time viewers would remember the scene with sally and Pierre vs the robbers, does anyone know why they wanted to rob the restaurant or was it just a random closing to there storyline.

 

I assume not long after this sally would basically leave the canvas for a couple of years.

 

Was this also gwen Sherman early times on the show or was she on in 73 also?seems like even until 1982 when greg left he never got to find the love of his life and we of course have seen him years after and it seems like he is one of those characters that never got some good love stories.

[OzFrog]

Was Gwen Sherman related to Mitchell Sherman on Y&R? Or was that pure coincidence?

[Paul Raven]

This was discussed earlier and seems it is a Bill Bell thing to use names again, probably a nod to Sherman Magidson Bill's Y&R legal consultant and writer.

[SoapDope]

I think Mitchell Sherman first appears in synopsis around 1975 or 76. Did William Wintersole play the role that early on ? IMDB lists him starting in 1986, but I saw a Y&R cast photo from 1980 and he is in it. 

[FrenchFan]

Mitchell Sherman was first mentioned in July 1975, after Philip’s death. Gwen was back in early 1976 for a very short stint but I have found anything about them being related.

 

Do you still have the cast photo ? I don’t think I have ever seen it.
