I DO NOT OWN THIS MATERIAL. This episode is currently unavailable on DVD. As soon as it becomes available for purchase, I will remove the episode.
I didn't know Ryan O'Neal and Barbara Parkins stayed until the end of the series...of course, If I were Barbara I wouldn't walk away from a steady paycheck after VALLEY OF THE DOLLS.

Cheers to 1st soap opera, the theme, the set-up were completely cozy and sentimental. I loved it when I was younger and I still love it now. Thumbs to the casts and crews of my belove 'PEYTON PLACE.

Barbara Parkins was so beautiful. This soap began to lose viewers in 1966 when Mia Farrow jumped ship.

Heavens to Allison MacKenzie! THANKS for posting this! I dont' recall ever seeing this show as a kid in the 60's but do know it was a huge hit in it's time. The first "prime time" soap I believe. I'm a huge fan of actress Elizabeth "Tippy" Walker. She was a cast member on this show for a short time during its last season. She's probably best known for her film debut in the charming '64 movie comedy "The World of Henry Orient". A lovely & gifted performer.

This was one of the first episodes...of the last season.
I remember the last episode in June,1969.I saw the show just for the heck of it-and they left about eight or nine issues unresolved.:-)
