They're pretty different from everything I've seen are they waterly blue or green strange actually 

Lord I hope I didn't get this reference

[DramatistDreamer]

Oh my. Haha, you're something else! Very good.

While I'm still waiting to know if anyone knows if are there any Jane Powell scenes as Lisa Available on the internet I got a mystery I'd like the help of you more knowing and experienced fans of ATWT might help shed some light in, in 1979 there was that Penny Mystery Storyline that was suddenly dropped, IMDb even credits Rosemary Prinz as appearing in the October 9 episode does anyone know what happened????

By the way I discovered there was another Penny in 1972 does anyone know if she was any good?

[victoria foxton]

I tried hunting down some episodes with Jane Powell. But i couldn't find any. I'm usually pretty good at hunting down stuff. Maybe another poster might have better luck than i did. Or maybe there aren't any episodes with JP filling in as Lisa.

Rosemary Prinz did NOT appear on the show in 1979. IMDB is often wrong and poorly maintained. Bob gets a phone call from Penny, whom we do not see. He then leaves for a while. I imagine this may have been a story the interim writers set up that the Dobsons dropped, as it was more interesting to have a pornstache weirdo dominate the canvas. 

There is some talk about the recast  Penny earlier in the thread. Most of us never saw her.

Let's just hope it was a case of bad luck then I tried too but I'm usually jinxed, and the fact that not knowing when exactly Jane played the role doesn't help much, I found the Carmen Duncan episodes so much more easily 

I imagine that that credit was wrong because I hunted the episode down and she wasn't there, I don't think Rosemary would willingly only make one appearance unless it was really special

I don't doubt it, Rosemary had that interview in that she said the public would not accept another Penny and she was soon let go

Not sure if any others are around. A lot of 1996 is missing.

Pheobe Dorin was a recast Penny.

She came on in 70 or 71 when Irna was absent. She never had any story but maybe this was intentional as they were trying to ease her in. Rosemary was so beloved that I'm sure there was negative response .'That's not Penny!!'

Pheobe was dropped after a few months.

[Joseph]

So no way to know if she was even promising hum??! She was fired after 13 weeks according to Rosemary's interview if memory serves me correctly 

[victoria foxton]

I thought she only filled in as Lisa in the early 90's. Awesome find Carl @Joseph will appreciate it.

I've read that but anything I've seen of temp Lisa in the early '90s was Maeve Maguire, not Jane. This episode has floated all over Youtube (I think I first saw it over a decade ago on a shut down account that put up a lot of rare GL and ATWT content) and was the main time I had seen Jane in the role. I'm glad it still exists.
