At this time, CBS had SEVEN soaps on their schedule (they were all 30 minutes long). Now there are seven soaps on the air, period (6 after ATWT ends in September). :(

That was awesome.


I love to watch old clips like this (this is pretty much what I watch when I do sit in front of the television set).


Thanks Monika :)

It is fun to see the way people dressed and hairstyles.

It is, isn't it? I love watching clips of the old soaps in part because of the clothes, hair and decor. :cool: :lol:

No problem!! I especially loved seeing a very young Donna Mills with David Birney in the Love Is a Many Splendored Thing promo. I looked it up and her character was a nun-in-training who left the convent. What a far cry from Abby Fairgate (her villainous Knots Landing character).

Wow... the quality of those clips was impressive. I recognized Donna Mills instantly! :)

I agree - the quality is outstanding for a 42-year-old clip. :cool:

Wasn't that Robert Mandan in the Search for Tomorrow clip?

At any rate, this is good stuff. I was REALLY young then (too young to remember TV) but I love it nonetheless. The writing and acting were much better IMHO.

And I think the ladies in those clips were beautiful. Loved the Sixties hair and fashion! :)

That was indeed Robert Mandan!! He played Sam Reynolds on SFT from 1965-70. :cool: :D

Here's Robert Mandan again from his SFT days, along with his on-screen love interest, the late Mary Stuart (Joanne).

Thanks for the link Monika. I enjoyed seeing Donna Mills & David Birney on that soap.

Oh, did you watch it when it was originally on?

^ My grandmother watched it & I would sometimes watch it with her, but I was just a kid so I didn't really get in to it that much.

It's so hard to look at him and not instantly think "Chester Tate" (or if you prefer, "Lester Pate" :lol: ).

It's hard for me to look at him and not see him choking Dutch (played by another soap veteran, Donnelly Rhodes, from Y&R). I just loved after Dutch married Eunice, that all he'd have to say was "Hi, Dad!!" and Chester would start strangling him. :eek: :crazy: :lol:

Here's a photo of Donna Mills from her LIAMST days:

Yeah that was always a hoot! Really enjoyed the Dutch character in general, too. (and THE General, for that matter! lol)
