I could see Tom Hallick (ex-Brad Elliot Y&R) as a potential re-cast for Mike Bauer in the 80's/90's. Maybe Rod Arrants as Ed. He would have been better than Peter Simon in my opinion I always felt Rick was miscast with Michael O'Leary.

I could see Sherry Mathis as a re-cast Elizabeth during the late 80's/early 90's. Unfortunately, she passed in 1994 at age 44. Mathis was 5 years younger than Dalton.

Maybe Lois Kibee could have been Trudy in the 80's after EON ended. Bert's sister should have come on and have been played by Sada Thompson.

Thanks for sharing. I don't think this episode has ever surfaced before.

I'm surprised Kit didn't return with his partner wanting Lucy to be a surrogate in the late 80's. Dynasty obviously ripped off his character with Steven Carrington. Mark Wheeler (Kit) seemed to have an odd career. His IMDB credits are spotty He did a lot of work for Ron Howard dating back to the late 70's. I found some info on him about 10 years ago that he taught acting to college students. He had head full of awesome 70's hair that would rival one of the Cassidy brothers.

1969 color episode of The Newlywed Game. The episode is mistakenly listed as being from 67. Complete with original commercials.

I wonder if Barbara Parkins would have worked as Greg's ex wife ?

I guess Geoffrey Scott (Mark) was supposed to be Dynasty's competition to Tom Selleck. The 70's and 80's were the eras of the mustache. I noticed it's now making a comeback with the younger generation.

Teri Austin was in a relationship with Ted Shackelford at the time. I often wonder if the relationship had fizzled by the time Jill went crazy, and it was used as a way to write Teri out of KL?

Rare color copy of a 1967 Newlywed game. The episode is mistakenly listed as 1973. Complete with original commercials.

Several episodes have been uploaded to YouTube. Wow, what a weird show......LOL A lot of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman vibes.

Thanks for the info on Bill's death. I had a feeling they may have left it open but wasn't sure. Bill, Missy, and Ricky should have returned to the show in the 80's.

I could see them doing a Rachel/Mac/Missy triangle. Missy now a mature woman would probably be going by her full name of Melissa at that point. I read Bill died in a boating accident in 1970. They could have written that his body was never found so they assumed he was dead. He could have washed up on some island and been there for 15 years with amnesia. He shows up in Missy's life. It would have been nice to get Joe Gallison back as Bill ,but a good re-cast would have worked. John Considine could have played Bill instead of Reginald. Missy's son Ricky would now be grown and could come on as part of the young set. Too bad Missy couldn't have been pregnant at the time of Bill's death. They could have had another son " Palmer Matthews". to help beef up the Matthews family. Ricky could have been the rebellious one and Palmer the Mr. Do Right that Ricky was jealous of.
