Cassie Collins took an axe,
Give the monster 40 whacks...

Today's photo really deserves a special prize! Fabulous work MB!

Great to see a shot of Bill Malloy today! I wish he'd been kept on the show longer. Apparently the actor is something of an enigma. I've read that almost no information exists about his life or career. Presumably a NYC stage actor.

I just watched a few minutes... quite offbeat, and I liked it. It reminds me of Queer as folk.

According to the y.t. commenters, several of the actors (or at least a couple) are alumni from One Life to Live, a soap with multiple DS connections.

Thanks for the tip, Uncle Roger! I'll add it to my Watch Later list. It sounds like fun.

I haven't read the article, but I agree with you, Josette. I lived in a development outside a small town in northern Maryland, and when I was a child in the mid to late 1960s, I remember there being multiple phones in most people's homes. I never had one in my bedroom, but we had one in our finished basement and I'd go down there when I wanted to gab with a friend about the latest movies we'd been watching on TV or the latest monster mags we'd found in the local shop, McIlhenny's.

Psycho Vampilique was so scary! Great photo!

Thanks MB!

I love today's photo. Miss Hoffman at her most insidiously reassuring. Of course Sam and Joe don't really buy any of it, but from what I recall, she manages to talk them into not rocking the boat for a while longer.

Great shot of Alexis and Hoffman today!

cheers, Gothick

Hi KMR, I bet you're right about the mirror. Looking at the shot again (thanks MB for including it in your comment), I suddenly flashed back to the huge mirror Julia had hanging over her lab in 1840. (Whenever I watch those episodes now, I get totally distracted wondering just how Julia got that thing up there. A mirror that size would have been extremely heavy. Did Julia have levitation powers she never told anybody about??)

I remember reading decades ago in KLS's very first book about how they did a lot of shots in mirrors on the set, so I'm sure you're correct about this.

Thanks!

Great shot today! Wonderful work, MB!

I wonder if they had to build some kind of platform to achieve that shot. Those cameras were huge and heavy, as we all know from the times when they'd accidentally show up in a shot.

Cavada! La Divina!

Thanks, MB!

I happened upon this blog which transcribes a conversation the author had with Elizabeth Wilson (who played Mrs. Hopewell, the administrator of Vicki's foundling home, in two episodes in 1966):

http://s181314165.onlinehome.us/followkellow/conversations-elizabeth-wilson-part/

Haven't come across any references to her brief appearance on DS yet. But there is a fascinating reminiscence of Kim Stanley, amongst many others: Kim was Grayson Hall's favorite actress, according to a couple of interviews Grayson did in the late 60s and subsequently.

The passage about Kim Stanley shows up in part 3.

Aunt Hannah! Perfect for a gloomy Sunday afternoon in Collinsport.

Angelexis was so totally psycho. Fun times!

"order paper gothic opera"? That's a new one on me.

Nice to see Robert Rodan and Craig Slocum featured today. Neither actor gets much discussion let alone positive attention from fans. Both were important figures in the infamous 1968 storyline, often criticized but because it was my first DS storyline, still my sentimental favorite (I now think of the PT 1970 storyline as the best of the Barnabas storylines with the most sophisticated writing, but even that had its moments... the original Laura Collins 1966-67 storyline was probably the finest ever produced on the show in terms of pacing and story coherence).
