As I posted elsewhere, sorry WRONG THREAD.

@vetsoapfan Just a brief, silent clip, but a color glimpse of Jacqui, and a rare glimpse of (I think) Virginia Dwyer and Shepperd Strudwick.

Definitely, Virginia Dwyer as Mary Matthews but I think it’s Hugh Marlowe as Jim Matthew’s

That looks like Hugh Marlowe to me.

Thanks. Someone in the comments said Strudwick so I wasn't sure.

As always, thanks for heads up. That is indeed Virginia Dwyer with Jacquie Courtney, but the actor (as other posters are mentioning) is Hugh Marlowe. The clip was misidentified on YT as being from 1967, but it's from two years after that. Hugh Marlowe debuted as Jim Matthews in 1969.

In 1969, two big changes in casting. As mentioned, Hugh Marlowe takes as Jim Matthews while Nancy Wickwire as Liz Matthews.  Without a doubt, Wickwire had a difficult replacing Audra Lindley.  Marlowe played Jim Matthews up into his death in 1982. IMO, Marlowe seemed to be phoning it in.

Great to see Mary and Jim, and the Matthews kitchen.  A year or two after Lemay started writing, we stopped seeing the kitchen, and all the action was moved to the Matthews living room.  That may have been Paul Rauch's decision, or maybe just another way to minimize Mary's importance and take another jab at Ms Dwyer.   

I wish the Soap History guy had not chosen to put a big red watermark across the image. I do understand the physical media belongs to him, but the show is not in the public domain, so he doesn't really own the rights to the property.  The big red watermark prevents anyone from even taking a screen grab and posting it legitimately (like on the AWHP, for example) without the watermark appearing.  That's really a shame.

I agree, although that seems to be more and more common now. One account I follow puts a weirdly positioned, very distracting timecode. Thames TV started putting weird watermarks. I do appreciate getting the see the content, of course as I would never know otherwise. I do know many reuploaded and reupload this material or even try to sell it as their own, so I get the decision for the watermark, of course, as we all do.

That's a shame about the kitchen. I wonder if Lemay/Rauch felt that the only kitchen should be Ada's.

[Tisy-Lish]

I don't mind a watermark, if it identifies the true owner of the rights to the property.  But if it's just the person who happens to have the physical video or photo, it seems very odd.  Even if they paid for it to add to their collection, that person doesn't own the copyright or the trademark.   

And I do remember finding it strange that by late 1972, Ada still had both a kitchen and a living room, while Mary and Jim now just had a living room.   And this was three years before Rachel even started to reform, when the Matthews family was still very much front and center.
