February 1977 Digest

Thanks Carl for continuing to post these up. Its almost as good as actually seeing them, which will probably never happen. It seems as if the first decade and everything up to 1983 is lost forever, except for thte few scenes on YouTube.

"Kitty Mainwearing", can't decide if that's better suited for porn or drag.

So I guess this is Malis' Dorian in '77. I would like to know what was Pinkerton's final story, Malis' first and last, and what if any breaks between actresses occurred.

Bethel Leslie. I don't think she originated the role back in the seventies.

Actually there were two women to play Ethel Crawford in 1994, there was one who looked older with black hair who was there at the begining of the story when Viki, Sloan were flying in to get her to Llanview. but then when Ethel got on the stand, she was recasted by a thin, tall blonde woman. and then she wasn't seen again. I think it was Hank who mentioned that Ethel died in 1995 because she was his lead witness against Dorian.

Yeah, I've read that but I don't remember the second Ethel. I believe Bethel fell ill and had to be replaced.

This is such great stuff. I really wish I could see the way Shepherd Strudwick played all of this.

Who was Matt?

Wow, I guess I assumed that Ethel Crawford was a retcon character, I didn't realize she was actually onscreen back then. Did the same actress play her?

OK, I feel dumb, but who was Ethel Crawford--I mean when did she come back? And was she used the same way or was it essentially a re-write? She came back for the Dorian/Victor trial in the 90s?

Love reading those old synopsises too--even the descriptions in the big OLTL book gloss over a ton of the 70s stuff.

And nice to see more clips from the Gottlieb era--I had a huge crush on Dylan though I guess in hindsight he was kinda a waste of a character...

Yeah, Ethel was Victor's nurse. In the nineties, they brought her back, establishing that she had "seen something" and Dorian was making her life financially comfortable for all these years.

Has anyone else here seen these? They're hilarious.

These are just two examples, but there are more:

Jack's hairstyle thankfully looks the same.

Love it!

There is a photo of Pinkerton and Jameson Parker in tennis clothes so I guess she was there at least up to the friendship between the characters mentioned in the recap. She's also there in the episode soon after Kevin was born, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was the one who was in the early stages of trying to break up Joe and Viki.
