Once again I'm sitting at my desk working and heard a familiar voice. Looked up and saw Mike Farrell (Scott Banning, David Banning's adoptive father, the man David named his son Scotty after) on an old Matlock rerun. Unless you're a Days old-timer, you're probably more familiar with him as BJ Hunnicutt on MASH. I also loved him as Sydney's father Dr. Hansen on Providence from 1999-2002.
Speaking of Providence, the summer before it aired, my friend and I were at a fair/craft show. There was a tent with a woman selling homemade candy. She was handing out flyers to watch Providence when it started in the fall. Turns out she was the mother of Melina Kanakaredes, the actress who played Sydney Hansen. Melina was on Guiding Light from 1991 to 1995 as Eleni Cooper Spaulding. The mom said whenever Melina was home for a visit, she'd always pitch in to help with the candy business and people who recognized her from GL would always be shocked to see her behind the counter.
Also in this Matlock episode is Nicolas Coster who played Lionel Lockridge on Santa Barbara from 1984-1993. Lionel Lockridge was married to Augusta Lockridge, played by Louise Sorel, who went on to be Vivian Alamain on Days.
