Monster Mondays #271 - House Of Dark Shadows

At 10AM CBS resumed programming with their mid-morning soap operas. First up was Valiant Lady, starring Joan Blaine. Joan was a valiant lady because she sacrificed a promising Broadway career for her father’s sake, then married a “brilliant but unstable" surgeon. 

People like the just-heard Mandel Kramer loved working on soap operas from New York.

At 10:15AM Light of the World signed on starring Bret Morrison as “the Speaker.”

The show was a soap opera version of the stories of the bible and featured some of New York’s best talent like Mandel Kramer, Louise Fitch, and Alexander Scourby.

This D-Day broadcast was the very first episode of Light of the World on CBS. It had been running on NBC since March of 1940. It would run on CBS until August of 1946 before once again being picked up by NBC until June 2nd, 1950.

When Light of the World signed off, The Open Door signed on at 10:30. Created by Sandra Michael, The Open Door was a purposely slow-moving, character building show built around Dean Eric Hansen of the fictional Vernon University. 

The stories involved people in his life: their problems, lives, and loves. The star, Dr. Alfred Dorf had known Sandra Michael since her childhood in Denmark. He’d come to America to establish a church in Brooklyn and was the true inspiration behind the character. 

Unfortunately, the agency handling the sponsor’s account didn’t like the direction of the series. They pressured Sandra Michael into changing the show, but she resisted and the show was canceled after June 30th, 1944.

Once The Open Door signed off, Bachelor’s Children signed on at 10:45. It featured Hugh Studebaker as Dr. Bob Graham, a bachelor who took in his dying friend's 18-year-old twin daughters. Marjorie Hannan played Ruth Ann, the kind, thoughtful twin, and Patricia Dunlap played Janet, the fiery and impulsive twin. Olan Soule played Sam Ryder. He was, perhaps, best known for co-starring with Barbara Luddy on The First Nighter.

BW - EP152—006: D-Day's 80th Anniversary—Four Morning Soap Operas At 10AM

The woman you just heard is famed New York character actress Jan Miner. In the mid-1940s Jan was on multiple soap operas, like Lora Lawton. 

Many top shows were produced by Frank and Anne Hummert. The Hummert radio ties grew from the prominent Chicago advertising agency, Blackett-Sample-and Hummert. Frank Hummert was a celebrated copywriter. His wife, Anne Schumacher Ashenhurst Hummert began as an editorial assistant and quickly earned respect throughout the organization thanks to her ingenuity, insight, and resolve. 

By the 1940s, the duo controlled four-and-a-half hours of national weekday broadcast schedules. They brought in more than half of the network daytime hour advertising revenue and their shows received more than five million pieces of correspondence annually. When they switched their productions from Chicago to New York, they began employing some of New York’s most famous character actors. 

At 11AM eastern time from New York, Amanda of Honeymoon Hill signed on starring Joy Hathaway. The show used a familiar Hummert theme: The common girl who marries into a rich, aristocratic family. She lived in the fictional Honeymoon Hill in Virginia.

When Amanda Of Honeymoon Hill signed off, another Hummert show, Second Husband, signed on at 11:30 starring Helen Menken. Ms. Menken is perhaps best remembered today as Humphrey Bogart’s first wife, but she was a talented actress in her own right. Throughout its history, one of the show’s announcers was Andre Baruch.

At 11:45AM on D-Day, Aunt Jenny’s Real Life Stories took to the air over CBS featuring Dan Seymour as both announcer and actor. Later this year Seymour would play Vichy French Captain Renard in To Have and Have Not. 

Unlike most daytime serials, Aunt Jenny confined its tales to five-chapter stories which were completed each week. The cast shifted with the only continuing characters being Aunt Jenny and announcer Dan Seymour, who dropped in each day to hear her tale.

BW - EP152—009: D-Day's 80th Anniversary—Aunt Jenny's Real Life Stories

At 12:15PM Big Sister took to the air over CBS starring the just-heard Alice Frost as Ruth Evans.

Ruth centered her life around her sister Sue and their crippled brother Neddie. When Sue married reporter Jerry Miller, Ruth was able to give her full attention to the care of little Ned. Then, unexpectedly, Ruth fell in love with Neddie’s new doctor, John Wayne, played first by Martin Gabel and later by Staats Cotsworth.

BW - EP152—011: D-Day's 80th Anniversary—Big Sister

That was the voice of Joan Banks Lovejoy who played the scheming Arline Harrison Manning on Portia Faces Life. During World War II she was all over New York radio.

On Portia Faces Life, Lucille Wall starred as Portia Blake, a young woman lawyer who battled corruption in the small town of Parkerstown. The show debuted with a crisis on October 7th, 1940 and throughout its entire nearly eleven-year run, the crises never ended. 

The show moved to CBS in April of 1944 and on D-Day it was airing weekdays at 2PM. The run on CBS would be relatively brief, as on October 3rd, 1944 Portia Faces Life would move back to NBC. 

____________

That was the voice of Fran Carlon, who at times starred as Joyce Jordan, MD. Jordan started as a girl intern at Heights Hospital, slowly progressing to a doctor, facing the difficulty of being an intelligent woman in a man’s world. 

Ken Roberts was the announcer. He’d been a radio staple since the mid-1920s, beginning first at WMCA in New York before becoming a CBS staff announcer. On D-Day, Ken was thirty-five years old. Here’s Ken talking with Chuck Schaden about those early days of Network radio. Himan Brown was often the director.

I'm DM-ing a Dark Heresy campaign, went a little crazy, and decided to write this script for a 40k-esque soap opera telenovela-type show as a fun thing for my players.

This is Episode 2 of Season 26, where Damphe' and Falli have long been established as the current main characters, having grown up on the show itself.

I got a bunch of friends and co-workers to voice act

'Intoxicating' Irish Times

Summer in London stops for no-one. Not the half-naked boozers, stoners, and cruisers, the hen parties glugging from bejewelled bottles, the drag queens puffing on hurried fags. It’s June 2019, and everyone has converged on the city’s parks, beer gardens and street corners to revel in the collective joys of being alive.

Everyone but Maggie. She’s 30, pregnant and broke. Faced with moving back to the town she fought to escape, she’s wondering if having a baby with boyfriend Ed will be the last spontaneous act of her life. Ed, meanwhile, is trying to run from his past with Maggie’s best friend Phil and harbouring secret dreams of his own.

Phil hates his office job and is living for the weekend, while falling for his housemate, Keith. But there’s a problem: Keith has a boyfriend and there might not be room for three people in the relationship. Then there’s Rosaleen, Phil’s mother, who’s tired of feeling like a side character in her own life. She’s just been diagnosed with cancer and is travelling to London to tell Phil, if she can ever get hold of him.

As Saturday night approaches, all their lives are set to change forever. It’s the hottest summer on record and the weekend is about to begin…

CHAINS OF LOVE - Podcast - Episode 4

A melodramatic masterpiece of betrayal and heartbreak… by a smart fridge. “Left on Read by the Fridge” takes you on an absurdly emotional journey through orchestral trap swells, hyper-emotional vocals, and a satirical slow-dance with appliance abandonment. With cinematic strings, whispered breakdowns, and a final soap-opera crescendo, this hypnotic, immersive soundscape is both hilarious and heartbreakingly petty. Perfect for anyone who’s ever loved too hard… and been ghosted by Wi-Fi. Stream now if your heart's still cooling in drawer two.

Lyrics:

It started with a beeping light
And your voice sayin’ “ice tray’s not right”
You kept me stocked, you knew my soul
Every snack, every midnight scroll

I told you things I never told my ex
Shared my secrets by the eggs and Tex-Mex
You even chilled my kombucha dreams
But now you’re silent—no more ice, no more beams

I left a sticky note in hope you'd see
"Please cool my heart, come back to me"
But your screen just flickered, blue and cold
Our love expired—two days old

Left on read by the fridge
Like a cold-hearted digital witch
You ghosted me with your Wi-Fi off
Now I’m cryin’ next to applesauce

We had a bond, not just appliance
You gave me snacks, I gave compliance
But now I’m just a man unhinged—
Left on read… by the fridge

You used to buzz when I walked in
Now you just hum like a judge of sin
I tried to reconnect, I reset the app
But your Bluetooth’s dead… just like our past

I watched you pair with the blender
Betrayed, in my own food center
I screamed, “Why Her? She Doesn't Even Chill?!"
But you just froze… and stayed still

Oh Samsung, oh cruel fate
You updated… and sealed my fate
You used to say “door’s ajar” with care
Now it’s just… eternal Tupperware

[Flickering LED… emotionally]
I stored my heart in drawer two… metaphorically
You iced me out, now I’m room temp pain
I’m lactose-intolerant… but drank the shame

Left on read by the fridge
A love story dumped like moldy spinach
You iced me out like a freezer tray
And now I sob in aisle 3 all day

Oh stainless queen, how could you switch?
To silent mode… you heartless witch
You’re just cold plastic and silent glitch
But still I whisper…
“Miss you, fridge.”

Left on Read by the Fridge

This was my attempt on recreating the theme tune from the hit 80's soap from the BBC, EastEnders. I used a few of the official stems from the original. Okay I'll admit, it took some time to get the various volumes of the instruments, plus the samples, corrected. But I think I'll call it complete with the final attempt.
Note:
EastEnders belongs to the BBC.
Theme Tune originally composed by Simon May and Leslie Osborne.
Arranged by me.
Made in GarageBand using the free built-in instruments in GarageBand as well as a few VSTs and other samples.
I make no money nor profit off anything whatsoever.
