Another 1982 clip that gives us a rare look at Pat Randolph. I've usually just seen Jacquie Courtney as being a bit old school soap actressy so it's weird to see how animated (even overanimated) she is in her scenes about moving in to Llanfair. She really really wants to move into Llanfair, people! I hesitated a bit when Viki talked about her childhood memories. I still kind of wish they hadn't done that retcon.

Lots of other great scenes too, with Viki/Dorian/Clint, Viki/Clint, and Viki and Becky Lee. I wish they had brought Becky Lee back (I'm not talking about that racist con artist fiasco). She has such a calm presence.

The show seems to have effortlessly integrated so many "country" type characters. I don't think they ever got credit for that.

I always love the old clips where we get to see when Clint was much much looser. I couldn't believe he was sitting around talking on the phone with his left arm craned over his neck and listening from his right ear. It's not exactly a drunken sex orgy, don't get me wrong, but it just seems so casual in a way Clint wasn't later on.

Lousy acting from both, even in a still photo. Quite a feat.

He looks like Nixon.

I love Janet Zarish's work in this clip. I have no idea why OLTL let her go.

I was so angry when they brought Lee Halpern back as Janet Ketring & killed her off. I loved her character with Charles Sanders

I like her work in every clip I've seen, especially once they softened her up a bit. It made no sense to kill her off the first time - the second time was also stupid, mostly because the reason for her being killed was nonsensical and the story was one of the worst in OLTL history.

I wish they'd at least just had Mari Lyn come back for a day and let Lee have a happy ending. Or they could have kept her and paired her with Clint. That would have been great drama.

Doubtful the writers even remember that Lee even had a daughter who happened to be Kevin & Joey's cousin

You can see a bit of OLTL early in this clip.

April 1976 Digest.

Interesting they list Nixon as a writer, maybe they just mean creator? I'm pretty sure she was gone by 73-74...Interesting they say Doris has been at OLTL for 8 years, so basically from the start, but also credit her at AMC...

Interesting, in the clip just before that they actually show a "racy" scene from 96, the flop US remake of the hit Australian soap/comedy which was known for nudity and its sexual frankness. I didn't think I'd ever see anything from the US remake 9which added a laugh track and apparently wasn't nearly as graphic...)

Thanks. I didn't catch that.

I guess we can't embed clips anymore but you should try to watch this scene after Hank grills Rachel on the witness stand during Marty's rape trial. Such incredible work from Ellen Bethea and the chemistry between Kevin and Rachel is so strong. The scene where she says, "What father?" is chilling.

This last scene is superb.
