In case anyone doesn't know, Youtube can translate subtitles.  The English translation is pretty good for these.

@AMCOLTLLover Thank you so much for sharing.  It's an amazing gift.  I've always wanted to see OLTL before Rauch.

 

 

 

Yes!! And if you read the SOD synopses for this period….it is amazing we can watch all of these episodes

Yeah I found someone here in Germany that sold some German Guiding Light episodes and told me he had OLTL ( with a few missing episodes).. But I didn’t care. As long as I can watch some classic Andrea Evan’s from her younger years on the show is much appreciated.. and Samantha. I never got to experience her and was so excited to got the opportunity to finally see some living pictures of her lol

Dorian is a hoot in those episodes. Love her.

I never knew that the actor of Burke Devlin#2 and Jeremiah from DS was on OLTL.. that was such a hughe surprise

and I finally got to see some Mario episodes 

I love this era of OLTL….and I remember watching these episodes! It would be great if we reach the moment from Sam 1 (Julie M) to Sam 3 (Dorian L) and also Dorain Christmas wedding to Herb Thank you very much

i don’t know if anyone appreciates this or enjoys it coz it’s not in English. But I was able to buy some episodes from 1980 for a lot of money of my favorite soap in mY mother language. It’s so nice to see young Tina.. Asa, Sam etc. 
There are a few missing episodes here and there but overall a great run with even a lot of continuing episodes in a row/even weeks.

I will upload more in the next few days.

I have episode 3087 and 3089 up already. 
 

 

WOWWWWWWWW!!!! Amazing!!!! Thank you very much!!!!! I love it and I appreciate it very much!!!!! My best wishes!!!!! What a surprise !! 

Thank you very much!!!! A Christmas miracle!!!! I am really happy an I hope next Christmas we have the first episode of AMC!!! It is in my wishing list too

I know that this should be common working knowledge, but I cannot remember.  I had just begun watching One Life in earnest when Shepherd Strudwick was "killed" off the show.   I guess that was in 1975.  

What actress was playing Dr. Dorian Cramer Lord at the time:  Nancy Pinkerton or Claire Mallis (my favorite in the role)?

 

I also remember that the Vernon family was fairly new in town with Samantha about to return from her trip.   (The original actress was replaced at that time by Julie/Julia Montgomery.)

Nancy P.

A classic GL episode from 1981 or 1982 ( Sorry, it is in German):

I am officially hooked on 1986, this show moves insanely fast and every scene is well-written and produced and the background music is insanely good. The action scenes, and there are a ton of them, are very much above the daytime norm and very well choreographed. 
 

In three months Mitch developed a cult, the leading ladies infiltrated the cult, the cult members went nuts and staged a protest at Llanview Hospital, tried to burn Cassie and Rob alive then went after Tina and Cord on their honeymoon with a machete, Rafe went undercover to expose corruption within the LPD, Dorian stood trial, went to prison and before Llanview could breathe they are now facing an ever going crack production ring which was shot to the frontburner with half the cast robbed at the Pony’s Ball, not to mention the side plot with the Barons and Brad with Llanview having their own horse racing gambling issue. 
 

However this all moves naturally, Llanview feels like a true community, the family scenes are top notch and feel so real, they rarely miss a beat in making you care about all the characters. With that said, they continue introducing characters at rapid pace but do well to keep the Sanders tied to Herb and Dorian and the Dennisons tied to Viki and Clint. 
 

The use of Tom’s introduction continues to use history well as Wanda recollects to Clint how she once deeply loved Joe before he ended up with Viki.
 

They have set up the quadrangle with Tom, Viki, Clint and Maira fantastically well and used to propel the Tina and Maria feud and the secret of Cord’s paternity. A birthday party for Kevin coinciding with a welcome home party for Viki built to the big moments of Viki seeing Tom for the first time and (fainting rather dramatically) Tina and Maria taking the claws off fully for the first time so, so well. 
 

Dorian in Statesville uncovering the connection of the warden to the crack ring is also fantastic and the action scenes of Dorian and Susan beating the crap out of each other are phenomenal camp. 
 

Also, to update, they randomly brought Lisa and Josh back after over a month offscreen for the Pony’s Ball and to cause tension for Connie and Brad. Lisa sees her father off before he heads to Statesville and gives Brad her father’s thoroughbreds at the local stables; Brad is shot playing hero in the robbery and Josh treats him, but Lisa and Josh share no scenes and again haven’t been seen in weeks. 

The only minor complaints are the lack of story for Wanda and Larry; the slow erasure of any diversity and Pamela and Asa, which feels like such missed potential, and I’m not too familiar with Delila but I wish she were doing more than complaining about how much Rafe works since we know it doesn’t go anywhere. 
 

July seemed to be the end for Mike Rivers; September seems to be the true end of Josh and Lisa, and for sure Richard Abbott, Cassie Callison and Joy O’Neill have left town while former cult member Susan Bates has been murdered rather brutally by Vince and Jamie. 

From my memory of watching the classic episodes, I believe it was around March or April 1988. 
 

I would have loved to have seen Ed back to take part in an investigation to the Faux Bo plot, maybe working on a higher level. It would have been great timing with the 20th Anniversary that summer. Of course Ellen would never have been asked back nor probably agreed to return, but it would have been a good chance to close that chapter. 

Thank you!

Does anyone know the date for Ed Hall's last episode? Was it in 1988?

Yes!! It's the first Viki!!!

I have the pic in my own book about OLTL the early years....and the woman who is with A Ponzini (Vinnie) is the first Viki!!!!!! I guess they choose this pic for creating the promo card!

Here are pictures of actress Sharon Laughlin, the original actress cast as Victoria Lord.  She is appearing here in Dore Shere's One by One on Broadway.

Oh my God!! I have a promo card pic with this first Viki....she is in a scene with Tony Ponzini.... I guess they taped maybe some episodes......

WOW! Thank you for 1973

 OLTL started with the August 4th, 1980 episode ( Asa's big party) in Spain and in Germany, so I guess that the Italians watched this same episode as episode number 1.

Not sure how many have been but hoping to visit the Paley Center this year and was reviewing the availability of OLTL, does anyone know if Carla appears in the October 1968 episode available? She’s listed in the credits but not much comes of the description. 

It would be interesting a fine description of the episode! And I wish they can allow you to tape the episode in audio or video!
