Members DRW50 Posted October 14, 2011 Members Share Posted October 14, 2011 Wow, she lived quite a life. It looks like her last years were spent helping those society often looks down on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 RIP Oddly the opening murder scene in this week's American Horror Story featured a lot on a year one episode of Peyton place (which means they were two years off as it was meant to be 1968 by when PP whent to colour) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZoeTate Posted October 15, 2011 Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 Yeah that was a 1964 ep of PP with Patricia Breslin and Paul Langton playing siblings Laura Brooks and Leslie Harrington. And yes just heard Pat Breslin (Mrs. Art Modell for football fans) died the same day, Oct 12th as the ep aired. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 The show wasn't on much longer after this was it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted October 18, 2011 Members Share Posted October 18, 2011 No,not much. I wonder if ABC considered going to 1 60 min ep a week?It got dumped to 8.30 on Monday against Lucy and Laugh In in its final season.Maybe a revamp and a 10.00 timeslot might have helped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted October 19, 2011 Members Share Posted October 19, 2011 Managed to finally find something on PP79. i recognise Don Matheson,Adam West and Elaine Princi.Can anyone spot any other faces in that picture. Big deal made of David Lawrence.He later exec produced SFT in its final days.He had worked for P&G before and had also worked on a lot of European co productions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted October 20, 2011 Members Share Posted October 20, 2011 Oh wow! That is quite the find. I'd love a DVD release one day that included that and those five episodes of Return To Peyton Place as bonus features. It will never happen, but there is a ton of stuff out there to do a massive complete collection for this show. Is it safe to assume Peyton Place 79 was a remake meant for primetime? I kinda get that feel since they didn't attempt to bring back any old cast members, but it does look like the characters are older than the start of the series. It's so close to Murder In Peyton Place that I'm surprised they didn't attempt to bring any old actors back. Probably would've been easier to sell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted October 20, 2011 Members Share Posted October 20, 2011 PP 79 was a 5 night a week late night syndicated series.Whether any original characters or themes were used,i have been unable to find out.but I'll keep searching! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted October 20, 2011 Members Share Posted October 20, 2011 No wonder it was a hard sell, I didn't realize it was one of those late night syndicated soaps. I wonder if they did a one episode pilot or a full week. How does it typicall go with soap pilots? I wonder who won that Peyton Place '82 story projection. I'd be curious to read that. Maybe something similar could be found with the '79 version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 26, 2011 Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 I don't know if there are any Dorothy Malone fans here but later I'm going to post an interview she did during her run on High Hopes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BakerSq Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 Did anyone see the 3rd episode of American Horror Story on FX? There was a time shift scene back to the mid 60s and Peyton Place was playing on the television. The show's audio played through out the entire scene and there were several closeups of the television showing Leslie Harrington (Paul Langton) and his sister Laura (Patricia Breslin). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
