The Secret Storm 1957. CBS Network. Soap opera aired November 8, 1957.

[@soap1919jt]

Fun fact: Storm aired in 1954 under a different title card and logo. It wasn't until a few years later that the one you see was used.

[@zekeonstormpeak4186]

I remember my grandma watching this, and The Edge of Night.

Thank you so much! Just when I think there’s nothing else left to see, this pops up! What a great find!

[@MoviecraftInc]

Glad to help!

[@tnate6004]

It'll be 50 years next month that Secret Storm was cancelled and replaced by Tattletales. Thanks for posting this rarity - sadly, so few episode of it and its sister show Love of Life survive.

[@MoviecraftInc]

Glad to post. Very true, kinescopes of these shows are a rarity.

Yay! Another rare soap gem. Thanks for sharing this one!

Enjoy!

Thank you for The Secret Storm episode from November 8, 1957, on CBS-TV. Back when the Dodgers and Giants (baseball) were about to leave NYC for California, and professional sports in America would never be the same again. As cities in the West began to grow in population, sports would follow that growth. Anyway, while I never watched The Secret Storm on a regular basis, I would watch the sea waters pounding the shore and the announcer proclaiming the title of the program and who the sponsors were. That was the extent of it. However, I love those original commercials that spoke to previous generations.

[@jojoa0808]

My grandmother watched this and the Edge of Night as well! Good memories.

[@AndrewHeller-jn7dx]

I truly loved this show!

[@jimipalmer5041]

Too cool! This was my grandmother's favorite soap. I actually was born six days before this episode aired. 🕊💖🖖

I was born in 52. I remember my mom watching this.

Thank you for another soap surprise! I've never seen this one and I never stop appreciating the time and effort it must take you with these rare uploads. This one is even more interesting because of that huckstering over the necklace at the end, which I've never seen attached to the end of one of the TV soaps.

[@MoviecraftInc]

You are quite welcome. I did find the necklace commercial interesting and unusual for a soap series.

[@kengeorgejones6855]

@@MoviecraftInc The only other moment similar I can remember is when Search for Tomorrow sometimes plugged Mary Stuart's album at the end of an episode.

@@MoviecraftInc The radio version of STELLA DALLAS once offered a pin tied to the plot line of Laurel, Stella's daughter, being held captive by an Arab sheik, while Stella came to the rescue...the company making the pin had a production snafu, and as a result Lollie-Baby (Stella's pet name for her) had to fight off his untoward advances for three weeks until production could resume.

Fun soaper history. Thanks for sharing.

When THE SECRET STORM ended in 1974, Jada Rowland (Amy Ames) would replace Carol Ann Campbell (Hector Elizondo's wife) on THE DOCTORS.

[@dannygaines1352]

I remember this show. Grandma on my daddy's side would watch this instead of us seeing Bozo on WGN Chicago in early 1960's.

[@MoviecraftInc]

Yes, back then two TV's in a household would have been quite unusual to let you see Bozo at the same time. Now, everyone has multiple tv's in many rooms!

[@RaptorFromWeegee]

Grandma deprived you of your afternoon Bozo?!? I just......I can't even....

My mom.watched all the soaps on CBS. Plus she watched General Hospital. I can barely remember this. I can remember the organ and piano music. I was born in 1963.

When did they stop using organs for the soaps? I'm a `63 kid too.

@@RaptorFromWeegee It said the last soap opera to use organ music was The Edge Of Night in 1975 when it switched networks. I believe it used to be on CBS. They switched to ABC.

[@RaptorFromWeegee]

@@sheriheffner2098 Thank you Sheri! Always wondered this. Dark Shadows, which I saw in reruns, was considered a soap opera and yet, they used regular recorded music when they started in 1966. But I also remember watching soaps during the 70s that still had organ music. I guess it was a gradual changeover. Such fond memories of watching soaps when I was home sick from school.

If you ever run into any 70s episodes, I'd be over the moon!

I think The Secret Storm didn't rapidly age the children like most other soaps do. The other two Roy Winsor soaps Search for Tomorrow and Love of Live also did not rapidly age children.

[@fromthesidelines]

As seen weekdays at 12:15pm(et). Sponsored by American Home Products, on behalf of Boyle-Midway {Griffin, AerOwax}, and Whitehall Laboratories {Anacin [featuring John Griggs as spokesman], Kolynos}. 12:49- They also sponsored "HAVE GUN- WILL TRAVEL" (with Lever Brothers as the alternate sponsor) at the time. 14:23- "'SEARCH FOR TOMORROW ' is next, on the CBS TELEVISION NETWORK."
