That clip shows the best and worst of Boyd Dumrose's set design work at AMC IMO. The original SOS was HIDEOUS. It was as if they packed aluminum foil, Christmas tree tinsel, and any can of paint they could find into a canon, set it off and voila! Roger Mooney re-faced the set in 2001 and, while it lost the "salsa" flavor, it was a dramatic improvement (I think they also ditched the slew of background dancers at the same time which helped a lot).

Erica's "citrus" house, on the other hand, was one my most favorite sets. I wonder what the behind-the-scenes reason was for getting rid of it.

The next 3-4 episodes after this are also up.

In what market did they swap timeslots? I was trying to magnify the ad. I know it says channel 9 but I can't make out the city.

All My Children's first month (January 1970):

Thanks. Never seen these before. What a hideous suit to put Phil, the young male lead, in. That drinking photo of Amy and Ruth's husband (Ted?) is interesting, as I thought the story was the characters never liked each other. I never knew they took that very stylish photo of the first Kate, since she didn't last long. Or was that the actress' own headshot?

The person with Amy is actually her husband, Lincoln Tyler then played by Paul Dumont. Ted was a more overweight, scruffy guy.

I bet they took stylish photos of all the original cast members for the press, we have just not been so lucky as to see very many of them.

Kate #1 has a very interesting look. I almost want to say she had sort of an "ethnic" look (like ol' Looch), but I don't know if that's quite right.

I keep forgetting there was another Linc.

I always associate Peter White Linc with Boys in the Band. He was great in that movie.

Kate #1 looks like Ethel Remey, Alma Miller on ATWT.

I love/loved Peter White. He brought so much to a role that was considered so long forgettable. It was such a treat when he and Francesca James would make their Christmas time cameos in the 80's.

There were actually 3 Lincs before Peter White, including the actor who played Victor Collins on Port Charles.

+1 - Those were always great and added such a touch of realism. And I didn't even realise there were other Lincs- that was way before my time.

I'm not sure if that's the actress' personal headshot or a publicity photo- its was in the ABC archives so I assume its from some sort of show related photoshoot

The Linc in those photos is actually James Karen.

Nicholas Pryor. There's a clip of him as Linc in the 1971 episode saynotoursoap uploaded on youtube.
