Doris Belack, one of those great New York actors that played a judge many times on Law&Order and SVU too IIRC. She will also always be Rita to me, the stand in for Gloria Monty in Tootsie.

Always interesting to see Joe. I had no idea Dorian was after Joe.

Just last week someone asked me if that role was based on a real person. So fun. The role, that classic reveal scene, the whole fracking movie, not only soaps but gender-bending. Knowing that the genius that was Monty also was a tyrant, though, she is probably a nicer EP.

Thanks. 

How is it that Peter still has that Allo Allo accent in the December 1976 episode but does not in the May 1977 episode? Did he go to the no-accent clinic we saw on GH last year? Was that whole thing just Frank Valentini honoring OLTL in a way we never appreciated?

Nice to see a Pat episode from this time beyond the truncated Daytime to Remember installment from around the time Kevin was born.

I loved OLTL dearly from 1968 to 1983, but the issue of Peter's accent was handled in an incredibly stupid manner. One day, out of the blue, he announced that he was living in America now, and should adopt an American accent in order to fit in better.

It was, like...WHAAAAT?

That is NOT how accents work.

Since the change happened overnight, it meant his Americanized way of speaking was an act Peter just decided to fake. Was he intending to use an artificial stage accent for the rest of his life???

It was so stupid. I wonder if the sudden termination of his original accent (which was, admittedly, weird) was mandated by ABC or something.

Peter's accent was never mentioned or heard again, so I guess we'll never know why it was written out.

There is another '75 episode on YT posted several years ago, IIRC (with Tom Berenger, Kathy Glass and Ellen Holly as well as Dorrie Kavanaugh's Cathy Craig).
