Complete the phrase: Trask - "Oh my God, the room, the room has changed?! This has to be more witchcraft! I'm never going to be able to defeat it all! I should just give up and devote the rest of my life to...!!"

Wasn't his assistant on ATWT played by Margaret Hamilton? If she was living in NYC at that point and willing to do soaps, whu wasn't she recruited for DS? She would have been wonderful.

Like Joan Bennett, having Margaret Hamilton in the cast would have generated a ton of free publicity, which would have made both ABC and DC extremely happy.

([pointing-up]  True - which makes one wonder why it never happened... But then, maybe she just wasn't interested and preferred to be on a "normal" soap.)

Maybe simple economics. No one was making the Susan Lucci salaries that came along later but ATWT and Secret Storm may have offered a better contract with more guaranteed appearances. Clarice doesn't make that many appearances as Minerva Trask and she makes only a handful of appearances as Mrs. Johnson afterwards.

([pointing-up]  Back in 1970 Clarice had a major storyline on The Secret Storm. That's what prevented her from doing hoDS...)

Well, at least DC didn't cut the part out completely as he did with Marie Wallace.
