Are any members here using BeondTV (Jonathan?)  Can you still buy episodes and then watch on demand or have they all gone the streaming model as well? 

I actually find it easier to VPN and watch on Pluto TV Canada than to watch on BeondTV.

I expect it would be. I looked into BeondTV when it was announced (as I THINK they were allowing Canadians) but it seemed a bit pricey and complicated.

So how do you schedule your Pluto TV viewing?

Pluto in the US can let you rewind to a start of a program or movie on certain channels, I think. Not sure if that's across the board or not a Canada thing. I don't use it that much atm.

Well as of episode 6626, Lorraine Broderick is in the credits as HW, so we must be into September episodes... edit Or maybe this is Aug 28 which is listed on Wiki (I know, not too dependable) as her first day.

Paul Martin in-depth character bio

2009 interview with Paul #2 (William Moody)
http://www.pinevalleybulletin.com/Features/InterviewMooney.html

I know this is going back some weeks, but just playing catch up. That William Mooney interview is new to me and had two interesting points:

"Crossing-over: There were no major changes when Agnes [Nixon, Creator of All My Children] sold the show to ABC. It was more work for all of us (particularly the technicians and crew) when we moved to an hour. After we had been an hour show for some time, ABC became fearful that NBC's Another World was going to expand to a ninety-minute show per day. So they decided to tie One Life to Live and All My Children more closely together--after all, Pine Valley and Llanview were only twenty or so miles apart. So I was chosen as the crossover actor that would tie the two shows together. I was sent to Llanview to defend Vicky [Buchanan, played by Erika Slezak] in a big trial. But, as will happen, the schedules of the two shows got awry, and I ended up shooting three shows in one day. I was half-crazy with fatigue. "

I'd never heard before that THIS was part of the reason for the cross over and it fascinates me--so I wonder if they had promos about Paul being on OLTL (it also shows that they felt he was enough of a character of consequence.) Of course ABC had tied their shows together before--I think in the first year of OLTL, Steve Hardy from GH came over to consult, and we have a 1970 AMC episode where... was it Anna Wolek? One of the OLTL characters comes to visit Joe. The Steve cameo on OLTL seems a bigger deal as they'd have had to fly him from LA to NYC to tape (unless he was there anyway,) but I do wonder if the press or anyone was aware of these cross overs (I sort of think not, but then how would they bring over viewers?)

Wasn't there a '70s ep of OLTL online where Eileen Siegel (Joe Riley's sister) went to visit her friend Kate Martin, or vice versa?

Yes that's one of the B&W kinescopes I saved from Agnes Nixon's shortlived website--one of the kinescopes her son found in a closet while moving her out of her house (it's been uploaded many times on YT) It was AMC and it was Eileen--she wanted to see Kate I think, though the scene is with Joe (and Tara briefly.) That was who I was trying to think of when I said Anna Wolek...

(If I had been smarter I would have saved all the great videos Agnes' website hosted, not just the two AMC kinescopes--including the full Museum of TV and Radio anniversary presentations for OLTL and AMC--separately, I think there were inb fact two for AMC--they had... Sigh, they seem completely lost now. They were mostly Nixon--and others--talking but with a lot of clips)

I thought a fair few 1970 kinescopes like that were on YT, or used to be anyway. I think that's where I saw it.

Yep we have either 5 (or is it 6? I've watched them so many times before and should know this stuff off the top of my head.) AMC just snuck by--in 1971 networks stopped making any kinescopes of their shows (and of course were still destroying video tapes.)

Eileen stopped by the Martins’ house and caught up with Kate first. I can always hear the clunkiness of Kate #1 referring to her as “Eileen Riley Siegel.” IIRC, this is the ep where Joe is late coming from the hospital bc of a car accident involving teens, and Eileen mentions Julie and Tim.

I adore the nice little set of early episodes that have popped up (including those ripped from the original broadcast!), but it is so ridiculously beyond (beond) time for something from 1972-1977 to show up somewhere.

I agree. I'll even sit through Hal and Kitty's drug smuggling storyline, which sounds horrendous "on paper," but maybe it played better on screen, lol?
