FLASHBACK: The Big Broadcast of 1976!

The Big Broadcast of 1976!

By Ron Lackmann
Afternoon TV
1976

"It is such fun! Everyone is having the best time! I know I shouldn't say this - but it's so great, I think I'd almost be willing to work for nothing."

The lady talking is Charita Bauer, The Guiding Light's Bertha Bauer - and Charita's got a new job! Well, sort of new. Both she and Search for Tomorrow's Larry Haines are starring in a new soap opera - on radio. Called To Have and To Hold, it also stars and features a host of old favorites from TV - day and night - and even some beloveds you may remember from the original days of radio soaps.

COMMENTS FROM THE PANEL:
Alan Carter: Talk about someone melded to their character...viewers actually thought Charita was Bert...and the similarities in last names didn't hurt. Playing out her own amputation story...which could not have been easy, easily lands her on the list for courage and honesty.
