Paradise Bay was not a Ted Corday production.

Other morning soaps over the years

1950's Hawkins Falls, The Bennetts. Follow Your Heart, Three Steps to Heaven, One Man's family, A Time to Live, Way of the world. All NBC efforts. Gotta give credit for trying.

1960s

CBS tried Clear Horizon The Brighter Day and then Love of Life settled at 11.30 am

NBC slotted Morningstar and Paradise Bay

Then in the 80's Loving and Texas.

Morning soaps had worked on radio, but I guess the fact that CBS had success in the PM established that was where soaps belonged.

Schemering 1987 p.181 Paradise Bay ... The show was created by Ted Corday, Jerry D. Lewis & John Monks, Jr. ... 

11:30 eastern  between Morning Star & Jeopardy.

In Ken Corday's book he lists the two shows that NBC asked his father to do for them & put in a morning block. Paradise Bay is the one that's not Morning Star.

Irving Vendig (who had created Three Steps to Heaven and The Edge of Night) was the head writer for Paradise Bay (following the cancellation of The Clear Horizon).

The show's owner, Ted Corday, probably felt that it was in more capable hands than Morning Star, so he supervised that show more closely.

MORNING STAR is a daytime soap opera which aired on NBC from September 27, 1965 to July 1, 1966. The show was created by Ted Corday. The show aired at 11:00 AM; it was paired with PARADISE BAY which aired after it and also was created by Ted Corday. MORNING STAR was one of the first soap operas to air in color. The show followed Katy Elliot who was a fashion designer from Connecticut; she moved to New York City to begin work in her chosen field. It followed her trials and tribulations.  The show opened with an epigraph, as was customary for soap operas of the time, “No matter how dark the night, there is always a new dawn to come. The sun is but a morning star.”

BEN JARROD was also early use of color.

Generally when people speak of there being no successful morning soap, they don't include 11:30 because that's considered lunchtime. And, people tend to look at 11:30, noon, and 12:30 together. Obviously literally you are correct because it is morning so it's a bit of a liberty being taken. 

Happy Anniversary, today, to CBS's 1st successful soap, Search for Tomorrow.

Okay, I just looked up all of these. (Schemering & Hyatt)  What I said about 11:30 & Lunch doesn't hold up. Love of Life was just the exception to the rule where MOST morning soaps failed & it did not. 

Ben Jarrod 1st regular use of color. DAYS first to debut in color & always be in color. Morning Star & Paradise Bay early use of color. Moment of Truth B&W. 

Hawkins Falls 5 first but then 11

The Bennetts out of Chicago 11:15

Follow Your Heart 11:45 

Three Steps to Heaven 11:30

One Man's Family 3 

A Time to Live out of Chicago 10:30

Way of the World 10:30

Clear Horizon 11:30

The Brighter Day 1 pm & then later in the afternoon. It has an interesting epigraph. The show began each day with "Our years are as the falling leaves. We live, we love, we dream & then we go. But, somehow, we keep hoping, don't we, that our dreams come true on that brighter day."  

Loving 11:30 then 12:30

Texas! 3 then 11

Love of Life 12:15 then noon then 11:30 then 4

    • I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.
    • Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.    
    • You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

    • Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.
    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.  
    • So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows. 
    • The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
    • So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
    • It does seem cheap and lazy for this show to have just one family. Passions was heavily criticized but it was nicely structured with a total of four families.
