So Louise, the lab woman Brad slept with, was played by Laura Dowd. I've never heard of her. At least the mystery is solved...

I love everything with Karen in this. I love that she and Ed treated each other as equals. And her relationship with Marco is so special (the beauty shot with her shoving the napkin into his shirt cracks me up). I'm also glad that they didn't have her giving any sympathy to Brad after what he did to her.

Karen and Marco being seated by the woman whose baby they stole is disconcerting.

I guess this is fairly early for Dorian LoPinto as Samantha? She and Asa don't click at all. Was Julie Montgomery better with him?

I'm glad Bo dropped that accent later on. It feels put-on. Otherwise the scenes with Bo/Pat/Clint were very good. I didn't realize he and Marco were close at this time.

It's so weird seeing Tina at this time, so serious, compared to the camp camp camp from 1985 on.

I always liked the Karen/Ed dynamic at the Boardinghouse. Ina's own little Land of Misfit Toys...Karen, Ed, Katrina, Marcello Salta. They always had each other's backs, when they weren't stabbing them(Karen stealing Katrina's baby for Jenny).

Never heard of this Louise, she must not have been around long...

Desiderio was definitely the better Steve(as well as Mr. Judith Light).

Louise was the one in the episodes a few days before this that Brad slept with and she told him Marco flunked his exams. I guess she was just there for a few days.

I like that outsiders vibe too. OLTL had no strong family at this point and this was also an era where many people, especially the younger demo ABC had, were moving from their families to make families of their own choosing, so it was a nice touch.

I can't get past those cheesy big glasses they have Richard Weber wear in every scene. Reminds me of Dr. Detroit.

There isn't much of this part of Mari Lyn's story on Youtube. I had no idea she ever did this. This whole scene is nuts (nice location work though).

Did Wade really not know how to swim or did he just want to try to get her to get off the bridge?

At least we got to see Doug Wert half-naked.

Episode summary Oct 28 1968

Joe tells Anna about his feelings for her, which go beyond the boundaries of friendship. Meredith has left the hospital but nobody knows where she has gone. Nurse Martin is the only person who saw Meredith leave, and Larry is concerned since he and Meredith are supposed to be getting married tomorrow. Dr. Craig tells Dr. Trainor about a patient, Carla, who has been receiving outside treatment. Craig wants Trainor to assist him with Carla but he is unaware that Trainor is attracted to her as well.

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

    • It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)

    • They could easily be re-created, or even re-shot in different ways, especially if they were re-shooting scenes at some point, as well.
