If you think a show that's not already mentioned deserves it's own thread mention it here.

I have an article that I have written about 'Love of Life.' I would like to post in a 'Love of Life' section.
The following article of mine was published in our local Gannett newspaper at the time of Christopher Reeve's death.

Keep Reeve's legacy alive
(Original publication: October 13, 2004)
To his legions of fans, throughout the world, Christopher Reeve was "Superman." But, before he shot to superstardom as the Man of Steel, I knew him on the small screen. I, along, with millions of daytime viewers, watched him perform on the CBS-TV soap opera "Love of Life," where he played Benno Harper. During the course of his storyline, Benno became, of all things, a bigamist. I knew, even then, that he had unique qualities that would serve him well during his career. After he left the mythical town of "Rosehill," he went on to the city of "Metropolis," and the rest, as they say, is history.
Nine years ago, when he suffered his accident, it would have been very easy for him to retreat to a private life, and concentrate his energies, solely, on the insurmountable odds that now confronted him. But, Christopher Reeve refused to give up. Indeed, it was his "love of life," his courage and tenacity that truly made him a real-life "Superman."
His death should not be in vain; stem-cell research should and must be allowed to continue. That is why I will be casting my vote for the only presidential candidate (John Kerry) who favors this key that will, someday, allow thousands to discard their wheelchairs and walk again.
May God bless Christopher Reeve; he will always be in my heart.

I have another request (thank you for putting up a 'Love of Life' thread).
'Love is a Many Splendored Thing' and 'Where the Heart Is.' Without them, we would not have Leslie Charleson (now on GH) and Joseph Mascolo (DOOL) today.

A thread for THE DOCTORS (1963-82) most definitely!

Being, somewhat, of a soap historian, I received an e-mail inquiry about the serial 'From These Roots,' which ran on NBC between 1958-61. The writer indicated that he had watched the show with his grnadmother and how upset they were when the show was cancelled. I told him that the only thing I knew about the show was the fact that Ann Flood appeared on the show prior to her tenure as Nancy Pollack Karr on 'The Edge of Night' from 1962-1984.
I don't know if there would be many people still around who watched it, but from the description I read in Wikipedia, it sounded very interesting.
Perhaps, there is someone out there who could share their memories of this show.
