In watching these great episodes from Spring 1970 on DVD again, I do notice at first that as the filming of HODS began, there was an effort made to have at least one of the HODS actors in a PT episode. After a week or so, from about the tape date of about March 23rd (the 1st day of HODS filming) to April 27th it's strictly the "B" team, with the blessed additions of Misses Laurence and Eis and the return of Jerry Lacy to DS. David Henesy does make a few episodes, but to repeat my earlier question, why didn't Curtis and Miner bring back other DS regulars to fill in the gaps left by Frid, Hall, Scott et al? Why weren't Chris Bernau of Geoffrey Scott asked back? And what about Humbert Allen Astredo- he played Dr. Forbes in HODS, and he was brought back for 1840, so why not PT- he was (and is) a popular figure for his roles on the show. OK, Donna McKechnie was doing "Company" on Broadway, but she could've been asked to play Jennifer Evans (a part that may have been Marie Wallace's if she hadn't left for "Somerset"- either that character or Buffie Harrington). Fortunately for us, there are great moments in those four "B Team" weeks- John Yeager makes his first onscreen appearance as Angelique returns bigtime (I defy you to say that the Angelique/Alexis confrontation-body switch isn't one of the most heartstopping episodes in DS history), the late Paula Laurence makes a lasting impression in her all-too-brief role as Hannah Stokes, the intro of Buffie and Dameon Edwards' ghost, and Jerry Lacy as a butler Trask!
