There are the occasional episodes that have surfaced from 1973, as well as the two from 1977 that were put out by Soap Classics. I don't have the exact list any longer, but apparently UCLA has color kinescopes of TGL from 1973, assuming they are still playable. When Soap Classics were going through the P&G archive, there were at least 2 existing episodes from 1976 available (which they never had a chance to transfer and release), along with a black and white compilation tape of Bauer footage from the 1960's, possibly even into the early 1970's. Some of this footage was used on the "findyourlight.net" website, which included scenes of Ed Bauer in 1969 (being played by Robert Gentry) getting pulled over and jailed for drunk driving. I still believe there are still the occasional odd episodes with both film collectors and actors who were on the show from the 1970's. I couldn't believe the two episodes that recently surfaced from 1973 - including the return of Lynne Adams as Leslie! - so I believe anything is still possible.

Thank you, Zane. I don't remember that footage from findyourlight. I wonder if someone captured it before the site went away. UCLA has several episodes of soaps that are on a reel and haven't been transferred. I'm not sure why somebody doesn't do something about that. You would think it wouldn't be that difficult in this day and age.

Are you kidding me...didnt we get to see Beth Chambelin in all kinds of skimpy outfits? (and luckily BC killed it with her bod...) That was all Rauch...but I do recall a weird scene after Dolly died where Reva picked up her wig and put it on..there was "soap crazy" music playing but then nothing. By the end of the Clone story I just wanted someone to give Kimmer he "most demanding role" and make Reva mute for a cycle. I would love to see KZ mugging her way through that but she would find a mimway.

I'm not a Beth Chamberlain fan. I really wish they hadn't brought her back in '97ish. Lord, imagine Reva having to mime what she wants? My eyes, my eyes!!

YES - I remember this happening and was like crap, what is happening... I just pulled up my notes from this episode and thankfully it was shut down quickly. This was August 1998:

Reva isn’t taking Dolly’s death well, and starts to lash out at Josh and can’t make love to him. She also wears Dolly’s wig and says she wants to feel what it was like to be in her shoes, which concerns Josh. Reva then sees Dolly’s spirit, who tells her basically to move on and she’ll be ok, so Reva finally comes to her senses and reconciles with Josh. Josh then takes her on a romantic trip to a cottage where HB and Martha honeymooned.
