Original air date: December 25, 1967 on ABC. Betty nearly faints at Adrienne's funeral......Eddie trades the note with Martin for a payment of $50,000.......
A few people are Commenting on appearance, not your acting remark. So, I'll follow with: Among the female alum of "Peyton Place" I'll rate the D.A.'s troubled wife Joan Blackman [playing 'Marian Fowler] as having a slight edge on Barbara Parkins in the beauty category and a slight edge over Elizabeth Taylor in the figure department. The 25-ish Ms. Taylor was exquisitely beautiful but a tad more fleshy. To the person who broached the comparison -- "comparisons aside, Parkins, Taylor and Blackman were each beauties." And Leigh Taylor-Young ('Rachel Welles') was ULTRA pretty with an ULTRA figure. TMI -- I could have viewed half another episode in the time it took to compose this Reply. But the subject matter made it 'a piece of cake.'
It is middle of the heavy winter and Rodney has a tan, blond hair and tanned face, like between series he vacationed in Hawaii or somewhere else in hot exotic place…..
11:46 - 12:06 Nurses' station's Miss Choate, who's been seldom seen lately, closes out Act II with nary a word of dialogue but registers her look of grave concern, this time for whatever is troubling her former trainee, Betty. 09:10 - 09:14 Miss Choate is paged and seen briefly consulting with Dr Rossi as Betty passes the two on her way towards Rita's room. . . . . . 02:11 - 02:14 Hair change: Lee Webber's hair, loosely combed and parted on the side, hasn't looked like this before. We usually see it combed straight back as at 08:10 - 08:14. This could be an indication of the different dates for shooting multiple episodes' exteriors, not necessarily coinciding with the same episodes' interior filming. Whatever the circumstance, because the two Lee Webber appearances are obviously within hours of each other, the continuity department wasn't doing its job -- to maintain consistency. . . . . . . . Despite Mr. Peyton's affinity for people who know him and those who simply know of him to dislike 'the old goat', because of his prominence in the community via ownership of the town's biggest employer, Peyton Mills, one would expect to see about a hundred more people at the graveside service for his fiancee, Adrienne. That was surely a money consideration of the series budget -- severely cutting back on the number of SEG extras. 02:04 - 02:10 There's Constance (Dorothy Malone) in profile and not instantly recognizable; interestingly, her camel hair coat contrasts to the other mourners' / attendees' black attire. . . . . . . 02:47 - 03:05 Barbara Parkins' luscious, semi-long, brunette hair is M.I.A. here with it hidden under winter appropriate, warm, head gear. The observation is made because so many females known for their beauty have it considerably enhanced by the allure of their hair, e.g., Farrah Fawcett and "Peyton"'s own Mia Farrow (Allison). Yet here we see Parkins without the benefit of her tresses and it simply draws attention strictly to her facial features. Nearly flawless. . . . . . . . . "As always with everything 'Peyton Place' 24/7, 365 days out of the year, thank you, 'SoapsNthings.'"
06:45 - 06:50 As Maxwell Smart would exclaim on the competing network's (NBC) "Get Smart!" in this era [mid-1960s] -- "Ah, the old letter rolled into the necktie trick." "Clever hiding place, Eddie. And it worked, as no one found it. So, Congratulations."
Strange that Adrienne would be buried in Peyton Place. Guess the reasoning is that she is Peyton's fiance; however, she was a widow of a well known doctor in NY. Wonder where he was buried?
Dr. Van Lyden was probably buried in New York. Adrienne had no family or friends and there was no one else to pay for her funeral except Martin Peyton, which is why she was buried in PP.
Let's see. 1 = Betty enters a home she no longer lives in uninvited and then 2= Starts an argument with a woman who has stated she does NOT want to talk to Betty and then 3= She falls down the stairs (accidentally) and dies. So yes. Betty was a secondary cause of an accidental death. And now she is lying to Rod about the whole thing and acting all fragile. I see an ugly orange outfit in Betty's future. Hopefully.
@@suki44883 Lying about it makes her an accessory. She ran like the wind! Now to save herself from possibly being implicated in Adrienne's death, she lies! I hope guilt chokes the life out of her! It was accident. Betty just made herself look guilty by running.
@@denisewells4161 Your venomous hatred of Betty is hilarious. She could cure cancer and you'd still hate her. LOL I'm not so sure I wouldn't have run, too. She was scared, so she ran. Yes, it was an accident, and she will clear Eddie, but I can understand her fear.
