I always wondered why Camilla Ashland wasn't listed in the cast of characters during HODS' closing credits, especially since she had a line...

Gee, I remember that afternoon in 1971 like it was yesterday. Even my parents watched DS with me that day - they knew how sad & upset I was over the show being cancelled. I remember how happy I was that all the loose ends from the 1841 Parallel Time storyline had been tied up - I was so nervous that the last episode would end with a cliffhanger & we would never know what happened. At least we had the next DS movie to look forward to & a few more Marilyn Ross DS novels came out for awhile...
I also remember creating a petition to save DS & getting my neighbors & friends at school to sign it - even my six year old little brother pitched in with his first grade scrawl! I remember sending it in & weeks later getting a fairly nice letter from ABC saying how sorry they were over not being able to satisfy my request. I wish I had saved that letter!
For years I held a grudge against PASSWORD, the series that replaced DS!
Well, it took me awhile to recover - I  started writing my own DS fiction & I was still buying the teen magazines like "16" ,(oh, god, remember those magazines!) always searching for DS news & pictures for my DS scrapbook ,(which, sadly, got ruined in a flood in my parents' basement where I had left it after moving away from home) as well as shirtless photos of David Cassidy! Eventually the magazines had less & less on DS & then nothing.
The second DS movie came & went & I stopped finding new DS novels at the nearby People's Drugstore. I started reading the books over & over!
I thought I was the only person left in the world who still cared about DS...
...thank god I would find out how wrong I was in just a few years!

P.S. In high school, when I became theater-crazy, I tried to write a DS musical!

"I Left a Gal on Widow's Hill"
"The Julia Hoffman Story: As Long as He Needs Me"
"The Victoria Winters Story: Clueless"

After the 1897 storyline ended, I always pictured Charity/Pansy hitting the road & performing on the vaudeville circuit. Audiences everywhere thrill & swoon to her signature song, "I Wanna Dance with You". She is soon discovered by D.W. Griffith & becomes a star, but when sound comes in audiences can't understand her because of Charity/Pansy's thick Cockney accent. So she retires from show business and public life and moves into a gloomy mansion on Sunset Boulevard...

I've always wondered how Carolyn Stoddard's education was handled when she was a child and a teen. Since Elizabeth wouldn't permit any live-in staff at Collinwood after the events of 1949 (at least until Vicki arrived), I would assume that would also include a governess. Did Liz allow Carolyn to attend the Collinsport public schools? I can just picture Carolyn setting her sights on hunky Joe Haskell, the high school's star quarterback! (I also imagine Carolyn toying with some of her male teachers just to get passing grades!) Maybe Liz hired someone from the village to drive out to the estate each weekday and teach Carolyn. Somehow I get the impression Carolyn was never shipped off to boarding school. Also, you might be pondering if Carolyn ever had any post-graduation plans. Other than her brief job at the antique shop & in-between her series of wacky romances, she seemed to have little to do other than help her mother with chores & social activities. It would have been interesting to see Carolyn take a position at the cannery - I can just see her as a tough-as-nails businesswoman!

...or John Karlen & Nancy Barrett as Nick & Honey in WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? in the same production w/Frid & Hall as George & Martha?

Jonathan & Grayson would have been magnificent as Henry & Eleanor in THE LION IN WINTER! God, my mouth waters just thinking about them in those roles...
I also happen to think Grayson would have made a wonderful Mame Dennis in AUNTIE MAME!
And how about Nancy Barrett as Blanche DuBois in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE? I can just hear Nancy saying: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."!!!
Does anyone else think that back in the day Nancy would have made a wonderful Sally Bowles in CABARET?
I would love to have owned & operated a summer stock theater back in the late'60's/early '70's & cast the productions with the DS ensemble!
