Created by Orin Tovrov, The Doctors wasn’t always the hit soap opera that it eventually became when it debuted on April 1, 1963, on NBC. Originally, it was released as an anthology series, which meant that each episode featured a different cast of characters and a different story. Starting on March 2, 1964, they started to follow the traditional soap opera routine seen in fellow NBC soaps Days of Our Lives and Another World until its series finale on December 31, 1982, which was the show’s 5,280th episode.
Here we’re taking a look back at the cast of The Doctors, which included some future big name movie stars. We’re guessing everyone will recognize 5, 6 and 7!
