For what it is worth, I thought KLS had some great stuff in her pre-Barnabas episodes. I'm particularly thinking of the ones where Joe comes over for dinner, and where Maggie goes up to "the big house" in an attempt find out what was going on with her Dad. Maggie had good scenes in the diner at the start of the Laura storyline and of course, with Mrs. Johnson.
IMO KLS had weak material until she came back from Europe to play Kitty. And unfortunately, we all know what happened with that character. But until the unfortunate events began, Kitty had some really sharp, good writing and KLS played it really well.
I'm not all that big a fan of KLS but when she was "on," she really did shine. I thought it was really disappointing for the actress that she got stuck in yet another kidnapping storyline as late as PT 1970. I bet that had a lot to do with her decision to walk away from the show.
