Someone is putting up some of the '50s GL kinescopes that were on a GL fansite for a while, via Megavideo, then never were put back up in another form. Great to see these again.

I love those early years when Bert is so aggressive...even over a chess game.

I love Papa Bauer.

Jone Allison had such a distinctive voice as Meta, in the radio episodes. It's always odd to actually see her. 

I never can remember which Trudy this is. I remember someone saying it was Helen Wagner, but i really don't think it is.

Some July 1980 (the start of Carrie Mowery's Jackie...close to the end for Holly's first run [i actually thought she was gone by this point]), late Lucille, early Jennifer, Rita/Ed tentative reconciliation. More Hope/Alan troubles. Early Vanessa, wearing a Wonder Bread bag.

The Morgan/Kelly stuff in this was already on Youtube, chopped up.

May 1982 episode, with some Carrie Todd material (always tough to find) and some fun Nola/Grace, and the always dull Kelly/Morgan/Josh saga.

Jerry ver Dorn is still a handsome guy, but he was so, so beautiful in these years, especially the 1980 clips.

Mrs. Renfield seems...weirder here than I remember her being most of the time.

I don't think the story was bad, per se, just boring, and very isolated. I tend to wonder if he would have given her the same story. They were already setting up her modeling, so maybe he would have, I don't know.

I assume if he'd stayed the story would have ended with Kelly and Morgan still being together, but then Jennifer Cooke was leaving, so he may have ended it the same way.

Morgan has such an interesting personality in some of the 1980 material. By 1981, it's mostly Vigard keeping that going. Without her, Morgan was just there.

It's weird how Amanda got the Lily role in the Iva/Lily/Lucinda story (Jennifer as Iva and Lucille as Lucinda), but otherwise Morgan was the Lily.

I will say that Cooke has a bit more personality in the March 1983 episode I was watching, as she seems older, and colder, and isn't a bad fit with Josh (who was by that time a nice guy). Of course she was just about gone, and she and Robert Newman were a couple IRL, so that might be a reason.

No. She did appear on Year in the Life with the beautiful David Oliver (Perry Hutchins, AW), which was sort of soapish. Apparently that was her last acting credit.

Speaking of the March 1983 episodes, I can't believe what an anticlimax Henry learning about Quint being his son was.
