George Meyer, bless you for sharing this with us. It’s such a treat to see familiar faces: lovely, pre-GH Jackie Zeman, a pre-GH Todd Davis (I had forgotten he replaced Laurence Fishburne), the wonderful Nancy Pinkerton as original Dorian, Jamison Parker’s caddish Brad, Kathy. Breech’s kitten-with-a-whip Karen (so very unlike Judith Light’s dynamic Karen), and the exquisite Ellen Holly as Carla, who is gloriously stunning in this episode. I regret only that Teri Keane’s Naomi Vernon is ignored. Teri was delightful in any role.
@MarkFaulkner Can you please forward this message to George Meyer and let him know that I would like to request more originally episodes of One Life To Live send me a notification via TH-cam, and let me know that the message is forwarded?
@DannyBaugh I posted you a message asking if you could forward the message to George Meyer regarding more originally episodes of One Life To Live, but I have never gotten a response from you. Can you please post me a message via TH-cam?
Nancy was great as she was the original. I enjoyed Jameson Parker as Brad Vernon and I liked the original Jenny and karen also. This Karen was much more attractive then Judith who was over weight and had bad hair for a lot of her time on "OLTL". Not always but at times she looked bad! I remember watching back then. I always felt her best scenes were with Vickie. The scene where Vickie confronts Karen about seeing her at the hotel with Marco and a man and money being exchanged was par excellent acting. I thought that was Emmy worthy much more then the court room scene with her crying hysterically all emotional. That would never happen in court. No judge would allow that.. Judith tended to over act in scenes but soaps love that! Judith won 2 back to back Emmys She left to pursue prime time television. She has been successful! and has slimmed down. Judy looks amazing!
@@brookehanley3659 There were 3 Karen's one was really pretty and a decent actress. The 2nd was on very briefly and her name was Julie Duffy who went on to do "Newhart" years later. Judith Light portrayed the character the longest and is the most memorable. She still works today in lot's of stuff. She did "Who's the boss?" for about 7 years. Later "Ugly Betty". the shirt lived TNT "Dallas" reboot etc.......
@@USAjock9 Do you know why the first two Karens left the show. I never watched with Julia Duffy. Was she on long? Actually the only one I knew was Judith Light. I had started college so I was home and could watch her from time to time.
@@brookehanley3659 Julie was just filling in for the first Karen who was truly beautiful and a decent actress! She was a model turned actress. Judith was an understudy for the actress portraying Karen. She filled in for Julie and they producers and writer liked her work and interviewed her and asked how she felt about the direction they were taking the character. She stayed with the role and won two back to back best actress daytime Emmy awards. She quit in 1981 and the role was never recast.
I didn't realize this until now, but the show's recasting of Karen was similar to that of GH's recasting of Monica. In both cases you had an actress of adequate and passing abilities replaces with a performer of extraordinary talents, taking not only the character but the show itself to new heights!
I liked this Karen. She was prettier. Judith was over weight and had bad hair a lot of the time she was on "OLTL" . I thought she tended to overact in scenes like the one on the witness stand. No judge would let a witness scream and act out like she did in that scene. Soaps love hysterical, emotion, crying women in soap operas.
@George Meyer, I agree with Mark Faulkner. Thank You!!!! This is like a belated Christmas Present to all OLTL fans! I truly never expected to have a glimpse into 1975 and 1977 Llanview. Thanks to you, countless fans and admirers will be enjoying these wonderfully preserved episodes and performances!!!! Thank YOU sincerely. Personally, I have followed One Life To Live since I was 6 years old, (1978). I have only ever been able to read about this era in a few books and excerpts. Your efforts and time are truly truly appreciated. I even love that this is from the rather brief 45 minute era. Sincerely, Jaymes (Popstarboy).
What a great episode to be able to see again. Larry and Karen's wedding. Of course their happiness wouldn't last. it was a soap opera after all. Thank you George Meyer so much for this and the memories. I didn't see the show then but shortly after they were married when Karen starting having affairs because she was bored home alone and the when Judith Light took over the role and really brought on the drama.
You're so right about Judith Light bringing on the drama! Lol!! When she took over that role as Karen, I mean this entire show did a 180 the following year in1978. Just like "General Hopital" I notice OLTL did some major recast with some of their core characters and those writers and actors took these shows to a whole new level.
@@nicoleberry2750 Huh? I do not know George Meyer and how to send a notification. I suppose if you do a direct comment on this or other videos he may see it and respond to you but I don't if he will for sure or not.
Io ho cominciato a seguire una vita da vivere in Italia inizio anni 80. Non sono mai arrivati questi episodi degli anni 70, ma devo dire che sono i più belli con personaggi e musiche così diversi. Mi sembra di vedere un'altra soap opera. Molto più bella. Grazie di averli condiviso anche con me.
Thank you for posting that I watch The One Life to Live back in the 80s when I was about five six years old and I grew up watching One Life to Live in the eighties and nineties in 2000s and this is way before my time I had to look twice because I saw Jackie Zeman who plays Bobby on General Hospital and I had to look pricing that with her is then Todd Davis who played Brian Phillips on General Hospital was on there as well and I'm like well this is cool! Please talk some more on One Life to Live from this era and if you can come up with some General Hospital from this era all my children from this era this is long before the Buchanan ever came on the show
Wow! What a treasured episode! Jameson Parker as Brad Vernon looking super good looking as he began on "OLTL". Also, the original Karen & Jenny. Let's not forget the original Dorian who was the best! I enjoyed seeing Jackie Zeman as Lana McClain who was pining her hopes on Brad who had eyes for Jenny. Brad had a secret relationship with Lana all while he and Jenny grew closer. Lana ended up overdosing on sleeping pills and Brad was suspected of giving her the pills. They had an inquest where he was found innocent.
OH WOW! I would love if you had anything from Samantha Vernon and Tony Lord! I loved that she was so in love with him. I have wanted to see their story for what..40 years?!
And the Sunday Night Movie Sean Connery, as James Bond in You Only Live Twice. I was 16 years old. I bet that's when I taped it on cassette! Love old One life To Live episodes started watching when first aired running home from school to watch Dark Shadows too.
Jameson Parker as Brad Vernon was my first television crush as a boy. Had I known the word, 'Brad' would have been my first clue I was gay. Now that I see him again, I'm not at all surprised. I had great taste even before puberty. Naomi Vernan ended up committed suicide. I recall one episode where she was so very depressed and pathetic with hubby trying to help but unable to reach her. . Quite the actress, to stick the storyline so vividly in my immature mind.
It's so cool to see Jackie Zeman and Todd Davis together in this episode. Less than a year later, they would both be heading to LA to begin their next acting jobs on GENERAL HOSPITAL. BTW, GH was celebrating its 14th anniversary on this broadcast date. Unfortunately, it was not doing well ratings-wise at this point!
I have always wanted to see a 45-minute episode of "OLTL" from the 1970s. It's amazing how this show and "GH" were able to do 45-minute episodes so well for a year-and-a-half.
CBS almost tried it a year prior with As the World Turns and Search for Tomorrow, but, since they've expanded The Price is Right to an hour a few months earlier, they aborted the attempt due to the fact that they would force affiliates to surrender the 1/noon spot in order for it to happen. Instead, they expanded the former to an hour and canceled The Edge of Night, which moved to ABC.
Bill Cosby pushing Jell-O pudding with voice over by John Bartholomew Tucker . Lassies glamourous mom June Lockhart pushing dog food . Those were the days
Jennifer Harmon was compelling as Viki's other sworn enemy, Cathy Craig. They never should have retired the legacy character of Cathy, and I am surprised Paul Rauch never brought her character back after Robin Strasser opted to leave One Life in the late 80s.
OMG George you are a God send! Ive been searching for someone with good One Life episodes from the mid to late 70s! Do you have anything with the Pat Tony Paul Kendall triangle? Anything with Lana McClain and Jameson Parker as Brad Vernon? Anything with Brian Kendall. Id pay to see the hit and run episode again! Thanks so much for posting these!
There's the daily episodes (audio only) from July 1977 up thru Dec 1978. Fairly complete. Again it's just audio, but it's pretty good, like listening to a daily radio soap!
@@daytime70s Ive heard those. Ive got tons of old audio tapes myself. I WANT VIDEO. IF GEORGE HAS THESE THERE MUST BE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO COULD AFFORD VCRS BACK THEN WHO STILL HAVE OLD BETA MAX TAPES. I AM DETERMINED TO FIND THEM!
George Thank you for this!!!! If you perchance ever come across a good copy of the final version of the Ryan's Hope closing theme used in the late 80's, please please please let me know!
That red-headed officer at the station's front desk is the worst cop ever and would certainly have been fired for brushing off that lady like that. Any lead that presents itself has to be taken seriously and investigated until proven false. To just dismiss that lady who claims to know something important about a kidnapping is just sloppy. And for that matter, what is Dorian doing asking questions about the Riley baby kidnapping? She's not involved in the case in any way, she has no business sticking her nose. And while it's in character for Dorian to butt in where she doesn't belong, it certainly isn't professional for that doctor to let her "tag along" to the police station!
I'm just enjoying the Mrs. Marsh toothpaste commercial followed by "Today on the 4:30 Movie- Five Desperate Women". Five Desperate Women was a 1971 ABC Movie of the Week w/ Stephanie Powers, Joan Hackett, Denise Nichols and 2 others as a college reunion on an island . One by one they are murdered! Who done it? Was it the "creepy" Bradford Dillman Or the HANDSOME Robert Conrad (hubba hubba ) ? This was the GOLDEN AGE of Made for TV Movies ! And I guess George Meyer is from the Tri-State area ? Not sure where else the 4:30 movie played. It lasted till a few years before Oprah happened . Long time rumor was that "Oprah Killed the 4:30 Movie" but truth be told- ABC had some other lame offerings before Oprah (The John Davidson Show? The Toni Tennille Show? Fantasy ? I cannot recall.) P.S. Mrs. Marsh had a LONG career and is best known as Cliff Clavin's mother on "Cheers". 9:54 Just caught the Vivian Vance coffee commercial funny and off-putting that she was "Maxine" and not Viv Vance ! My Goodness! Viv's skimpy career by the later 1970s was clearly to "pay the bills". She did a guest roll on Rhoda (and it kinda felt like she was going to be Rhoda's new funny neighbor - but it never happened). Viv died Aug. 1979 . 2 of her last visitors to her home in Connecticut (when she was bed ridden) were Lucy and actress friend Mary Wickes. They both sobbed on the limousine ride home- they knew this was the last time that they would see her alive. She had no children and not too much money when she passed; but she lived in a beautiful home and had a fairly new husband that cared for her (John Dodds).
@@JoeOConnellAllNew Carla did have her romance with a white man, Dr. Jim Craig... Maybe she felt at the time, as was understandable, that such a love was futile and was trying to spare Joshua?
At this point they really had no idea with Dorian, as the writers really boxed her into a corner. She was at great risk at coming off too evil after her cruelty of not bringing the ailing Victor to the hospital in time, not allowing him to have a proper goodbye with Viki and perhaps resulting in his death. Plus, her argument with him prior of where she admitted how she kept him from finding Tony and how he disgusted her and she was never in love with him that caused his initial heart attack. They were here trying to soften her up by having her being instrumental in finding Kevin, but it just didn't resonate with viewers, and as a result they ended up re-casting her with the softer and sultrier Claire Malis, which definitely didn't work either, as she and Erika Slezak had no chemistry. But if they hadn't changed Dorian they would have ended up wither sending her to prison or killing her off altogether.
@GeorgeMeyer I sent you a message requesting more episodes of One Life To Live episodes with commercials from 1977, but I never heard from you. Can you please send me a notification via TH-cam?
Wanda and Ana seemed to be stuck in the kitchen for this episode. I guess the producers didn't want to pay Marilyn Chris or Doris Belack for the day. Or was it Lee Lawson and Kathleen Maguire by then?
Possibly; this episode aired after she had already been dismissed by producers. I believe her last episode was filmed at the end of March, and usually there was a 2 week gap between taping and airing.
@Veronica A. I saw an interview with Judith Light once in which she related that as she set out for NYC to embark on her theatrical career, she boasted that she would "never do a soap opera and never do a sitcom", which is all kinds of ironic given that she's most famous for playing Karen on OLTL and for being on "Who's the Boss?"
I could be wrong, but I had read that Dorian was trying to steal Joe away from Viki (the Rileys are already estranged - as this episode depicts). My guess is that Dorian was really trying to find Kevin in the hopes that Joe would like her better if she recovered his son for him. Of course, if that is the case, it backfired spectacularly, since once Kevin was returned, Joe immediately regretted leaving Viki and returned to her.
@@LannieLordThey had a "complicated relationship". I don't it ever would have happened with NP in the role, though. The chemistry between Strasser and Slezak made it possible. But I have read this Dorian was WAAAAAAY too cold and calculating for such a relationship with anyone. They made her too one-dimensional by being a villain only. Strasser could go in different directions.

I sent you a message requesting more episodes of One Life To Live episodes with commercials from 1977, but I never heard from you. Can you please send me a notification via TH-cam?
So Sam and Nanette Wolek, are Karen and Jenny's parents...
I heard Kevin Buchanan (Riley) was kidnapped as a baby
Was Wanda at the wedding? I also didn’t see Anna. Was Samantha and Brad’s mom still living at this point? Thanks!
Wanda and Ana seemed to be stuck in the kitchen for this episode. I guess the producers didn't want to pay Marilyn Chris or Doris Belack for the day.
Or was it Lee Lawson and Kathleen Maguire by then?
Sad that the ending credits with Brian and Danny they don’t know they’re cousins
Why is that sad?
Brian is Pat’s son, yes?
This may have been Nancy Pinkerton’s last appearance as Dorian.
Possibly; this episode aired after she had already been dismissed by producers. I believe her last episode was filmed at the end of March, and usually there was a 2 week gap between taping and airing.
@@ericnelson9100Dismissed? I thought NP left on her own accord?
@@Charlie-hl7jr No, she was let go.
Julie Montgomery ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I forgot Kevin wasn't a blood Buchanan
Neither is Joey. Both are actually Rileys.
Ethel mertz on commercial
a Year later Brian Kendall ends up killed in a hit in run accident and Karen ends up being somewhat responsible for it.
But Karen wasn’t driving the car. Wasn’t it Talbot?
Where is Judith Light
She Became Karen Wolek Number Three After Julia Duffy In November 1977.
Exactly and Marco Dane
@Veronica A. I saw an interview with Judith Light once in which she related that as she set out for NYC to embark on her theatrical career, she boasted that she would "never do a soap opera and never do a sitcom", which is all kinds of ironic given that she's most famous for playing Karen on OLTL and for being on "Who's the Boss?"
@@christopherslappey1681Any clips of Julia in the role? Why was she replaced?
Julia must have been VERY YOUNG and TINY !!! Judith seems tall and more mature . The viewers must have been "Wha..?" @@brookehanley3659
Yep
Dorain hated vicki why would she help her
I could be wrong, but I had read that Dorian was trying to steal Joe away from Viki (the Rileys are already estranged - as this episode depicts). My guess is that Dorian was really trying to find Kevin in the hopes that Joe would like her better if she recovered his son for him. Of course, if that is the case, it backfired spectacularly, since once Kevin was returned, Joe immediately regretted leaving Viki and returned to her.
Dorian liked Joe, and so she was sometimes forced to inadvertently "help" Viki to stay in his good graces.
Later into the 1980s - they TOTALLY lost it and made Dorian and Vicki friends again . Like WTF ? Really ? @@pensiveczar2239
@@LannieLordThey had a "complicated relationship". I don't it ever would have happened with NP in the role, though. The chemistry between Strasser and Slezak made it possible. But I have read this Dorian was WAAAAAAY too cold and calculating for such a relationship with anyone. They made her too one-dimensional by being a villain only. Strasser could go in different directions.
