Another January 1967 episode (we now have 3 available). This has the Phil/Audrey story that was discussed a few pages ago by @Dion.

This is also the first time I've seen Catherine Farrar as Polly. Her scene is at about 15 minutes.

My goodness...

All I can say is she plays the scene like someone who was just picked off the street. On a show that often has good acting I was a bit thrown. I can see why she didn't last long. Was she better as Julie on DAYS?

Who is playing her sleazy professor?

I think that's Robert Hogan, later the last Vince on AW and a Banner employee on '90s OLTL. He's good, although I don't think he has the sexuality Phil tended to have.

The uploader mentioned that Farrar's Polly is in some of the December 66 episodes, which I haven't gone through yet. Sorry if I gave the impression she was just debuting. Maybe she's better there...

Ah yes, this was the episode that was on WOST back in 2004.

And Ben Andrews is playing Bob Chandler, the sleazy professor who basically told Polly he was some sort of polyamorist in an open marriage, but Polly later found out his wife knew nothing of this arrangement. As a result, Polly ended up leaving to go to art school in Chicago in March but came back in June after her father's health took another turn for the worse. Presumably this is when the recast to Jennifer Billingsley happened.

Thanks for the extra details. Young women on soaps in the '60s and '70s were constantly in peril from college professors...

I didn't know Ben Andrews was on Return to Peyton Place. I wonder how he was. 

Sad that he died so young (not the only Next Step Beyond guest star to do so).

I was wondering what were some Of Rebecca Herbst's Stronger moments as Elizabeth in the past 9 years, I can't seem to find any that showcased her talent in this period, the last hurrah seems to have been The John Doe/Jason Storyline, the rest seemed like she was the staircase to others only

I thought she did decent work with some of the Franco death stuff and the aftermath.  She also did well with her mother and father coming back.  The storylines were awful and I don't have a lot of nice things to say about them, but I though RH was good acting wise.  I don't think any of this was Elizabeth's character's stronger material though.  She's been holding up lesser characters for years.

    • The way this show handled Nikolas' shooting Hayden, Austin's murder, the long slow delay to getting rid of Cyrus, etc. we're likely to have it revealed in a year when Nina is 3 weeks away from leaving and has had minimal airtime.
    • Interesting. I love my Roku.  No, I don't know. Who? I mean Disney def does. I would think a number of parties have stocks.
    • Is he still spamming demands that they hire the campy chick from The Haves and Have Nots? Or whichever show it was. I don't think it's an either/or. I happen to think Dana, Dani, Eva, Nicole, Kat, etc. are all great. Certain folks aren't going to be some posters' favorites and that's fair enough. But I would argue most of those characters above (and several others) have caught on with a lot of the online audience. I've even warmed up to Martin!
    • We get it, you don't like this show or the actors. You've said that over and over again, Mr. Vanguard America/VDARE.
    • Lol at the WSB hot guy asking Joss if she was okay with betraying her friends.  Of course she is! Chase coming in hot at Dante was a choice. It's also quite hypocritical since Chase is lying to him about Dante's own child and making Lulu the bad guy.  Talk to the grown woman yourself Chase.  Don't make Dante do it. Lulu and Laura had some great scenes. The Rocco/Danny party is obvious an anvil for something happening and probably the Gio secret coming out. The Willow/Drew/Nina scenes were kind of anti-climatic?  I get why Nina chose this path as the way to get rid of Drew, but will anyone ever find out Drew was sleeping with Nina?  
    • I was reading the NYT article on Roku's purchase of FrndlyTV. As anyone who has read my posting knows, I think re-airing old soaps is an imprudent idea. However, I will admit that if large media companies are looking for more streaming content.  And, if advances in AI continue to make the digitization process faster and cheaper.  Those of you who want the owners of the IP to release anything in their vaults may have reason to be hopeful.  Because the makers of TV's want to get into streaming in order to encourage young people to get back in the habit of updating their TV devices every few years.  And, Roku's plan is market exclusive content, that you have to buy a Roku device to view.  And you-know-who has a ton of content to sell.
    • This was  the messiest hour of television I’ve seen since Kenya Moore asked “who is this hoe?”
    • details of the current Health Secretary RFK Jr's insane beliefs - Doesn't believe that germs cause illness; suggests HIV doesn't cause AIDS; suggests antidepressants are behind mass shootings; believes that vaccines are harmful; suggests chemicals in water are changing children's gender identities... and is quick to promote supplements to prevent and treat diseases, such as recently recommending vitamin A for measles and falsely claiming children who die from the viral infection are malnourished. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/04/rfk-jr-s-anti-vaccine-stance-is-rooted-in-a-disbelief-in-germ-theory/

      I missed the reference at the time, but those DAYS writers really like jokey character names.
