Members saynotoursoap Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 I loved the articles. Lana Wood: Good grief! Susan Oliver: She was my least favorite Laura on Days of our Lives, but the character of Ann Howard was one of the saddest in all of Peyton Place. Susan performed marvelously. Barbara Parkins: Ah, the girl from Peyton Place. The title has that salacious 60s sound to it. Married Men Make Dangerous Lovers. Indeed, Babs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks for reading. What was Ann Howard's story? Some of the titles can be ridiculous. One for Pat Morrow in a 1969 magazine was something like, "Pat Morrow And The Love of a Black Man!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members saynotoursoap Posted April 22, 2013 Members Share Posted April 22, 2013 Another fascinating article, CarlD, and I learned more about Ruth than I had ever known. I miss her...and Phoebe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted March 31, 2014 Members Share Posted March 31, 2014 I know I am very late to the party here, but hoping someone might want to re-ignite discussion of PP. I have just finished watching the first batch of episodes, stopping at #70 or so as this is when a natural break took place. Amazed at the acting, writing and direction so far. How the show was ignored in the Emmy's is ridiculous. Having said that, the shift around ep 70 was a turn for the worst and seemed to stop the show in its tracks. Having the time frame move forward a month was such a disappointment.Alison's paternity was revealed along with the true killer of Eliot's wife,clearing the way for Connie and Eliot to be honest about their feelings. Instead we jumped to the wedding,when a Michael/Connie/Eliot triangle could have been explored.Leslie Harrington flies to the capitol to clear Eliot,based on no concrete evidence.Shouldn't he have been charged with withholding evidence.Instead, he's gone and the Julie/Leslie story with him. Not impressed with Mariette Hartley/Claire - she seems so wooden compared to the rest of the cast. Paul Hanley just diasappears.Again,after all his manipulations he deserved an exit. Does anyone agree that the character was supposed to be gay? He was presented as such in terms of 60's TV - bitchy, sarcastic,erudite.His interest in Allison was not sexual. Then the focus on the Schusters new characters with no connections to the cast..Who cares about their missing daughter? Betty as a nurses aide brought some great scenes with Miss Choate, but overall this vocation isn't a good fit. I noticed around now Felix Fiest was listed as producer.Hopefully he isn't responsible for these storylines and things turn around. Sorry to ramble on, but hopefully some other PP buff swill want to chip in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted March 31, 2014 Members Share Posted March 31, 2014 I saw a clip on YouTube in which Elliot was talking to the nephew of his first wife. The nephew was, by then, a college professor. Who played this character? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted March 31, 2014 Members Share Posted March 31, 2014 I believe that would be the Paul Hanley character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 31, 2014 Members Share Posted March 31, 2014 Paul Hanley was the sister of Elizabeth,Eliot's first wife. As a youth, Paul witnessed his sister's murder and testified against Eliot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted March 31, 2014 Members Share Posted March 31, 2014 Up to episode 40. The Elliot Carson mystery is so, so good. Paul and his father Calvin just showed up, and in just two episodes already have (deep) connections to Matt, Connie and Allison. It's such a complicated, well-written, fascinating story. I can't wait to see how it develops. Meanwhile, the scene were Betty is almost raped by Roy Roberts because he doesn't realize she was genuinely refuting his advances instead of playing around with him, after which he fatherly comforts her and then gives her money for the train fare, advising her to go back home, is so complex and nasty and heartbreaking. Did they really allow stuff like this to air in '65? Love it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 13, 2014 Members Share Posted August 13, 2014 RIP Ed Nelson. Such a handsome man, so much quiet intensity. I rolled my eyes a little at the idea of Peyton Place not being a soap, but oh well. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/13/arts/television/ed-nelson-a-star-of-peyton-place-dies-at-85.html?smid=fb-share&_r=1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted August 13, 2014 Members Share Posted August 13, 2014 God rest him. In the past few days, we've lost Charles Keating, Robin Williams, Lauren Bacall and now Ed Nelson. Then, of course, there was the tragedy at the speedway in New York when Tony Stewart struck and killed one of the other competitors in the race. So, so sad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted September 27, 2014 Members Share Posted September 27, 2014 Attention PEYTON PLACE fans: A poster named coffeegulper905 has undertaken the herculean task of uploading the entire 514-episode series to youtube. The quality is great. He's already up to episode number 388. Who knows how long these treasures will last before getting yanked, so watch them while they're hot, LOL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH3BwBNceeQ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
