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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

I truly loved this show!

This is my new favorite channel, besides my Catholic channels for prayer, and Mass.

I've always thought Jada Rowland is super cute. I've never seen her as a teenager. but the expressions and voice bring back pleasant memories of the grownup Jada.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

@@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.

We are working on finding more in the collection.

I have read the show was originally to be named "The Storm Within," but Whitehall Laboratories (which made Anacin and Kolynos) also made BiSoDol antacid...and didn't like the title...thus, the show became "The Secret Storm"

Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken but, was "The Secret Storm" the soap in which there was, quite towards the end of its run, a character by the name of Shawn (Sean) Childers?

I best remember Carl King as the announcer on "Temptation".

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."
