[QUOTE="darkshadows38, post: 319636, member: 19"] no there were a lot of slip ups by various actors some of them were quite quick you didn't even notice it sometimes i don't always but they are there. Frid used to when he would mess up really bad just swear so they could give him another take i doubt he did that everyday though as he knew how expensive that it was when they had to do a second take it was big in the thousands back than. the only reason Selby ever even came to the show at all was cause of Frid and that was due to the long drawn out speeches that Frid had to always do that he started to at some point i'm guessing this was by (1968) just so he could have someone take the load off him cause his lines were a lot longer than the rest of the cast at that point i think. so Selby was Hired and no doubt helped him a great deal i'm sure. one thing you also have to know is if you don't see let's say Joan Bennett for example on the show for quite awhile much like when Laura put her in a catatonic State and she's gone for 30 episodes it was cause Bennett was on Vacation apparently, other times it was cause one of them was doing a play that they wanted time off to do so they'd work around the actors or actress's schedule. what's really funny though is that at the time while they all took the work very seriously they never gave the messing the lines us or speaking before the other actor was suppose to as that did happen they never gave it much thought since it was only suppose to be on tv only once. i'm not entirely sure when they started to air the show after it had ended but it's funny how if you look at any soap i think it's the only one where they have the entire run on dvd. and DS is missing only 1 episode that they had Lara Parker do Narration to near the end of the series Run.
