the bad news Search for Tomorrow has lost one of its finest young actors Michael Nouri the dark brooding man who has portrayed Steve Kaslo on the series for the past several years decided a few months ago that he was ready to move onto other career goals in lieu of signing another contract with the show The character of Steve had been in remission from a disease for more than a year Rather than replace Nouri who was enormously popular in the role the writers sod producers went out on a limb by hav- fog Steve's con- jgT dition worsen nmmdrn For two Michael Nouri months Steve has deteriorated Critical conditions on soap opens usually terminate in miracle cures The writ erf and producers were brave enough not to phony up their story and allowed Steve's life to be cut short Last week Steve Kaslo died The tragedy was compounded by the fact that with Novi's departure serial-don also lost one of its finest most sensitive young actors Now the good news Search Is intensifying its efforts to do more location shootings Last weekend Mary Stuart (Jo) Peter Retray (Scott) George Shannon (Chance) Lewis Arlt (David) and Billie Lou Watt (Ellie) were shipped off to Manikin Va outside Richmond where they were involved in exterior shootings that involve an auto accident Sorry you'll have to tune in this week to find out who's involved terminally as a result of that The Search cameras also taped the exterior of a Mane-kin hotel the Foxhead Inn which will serve in the Search story as the facade of the fictional Hartford Inn Back to the bad news-Search is undergoing sweeping cast
