One Life To Live. Karen & Marco switch Katrina & Jennys' babies. OLTL.

[@michaelshinners6847]

Man EVERYBODY was in this episode and I do mean EVERYONE!! Holy Schmidt!

[@garymazzeo3490]

Clint was one of the male dancers on the Carol Burnett show before he joined One Life To live

[@debbieholzherr2990]

The channel 7 soaps must have been riveting that year with the Karen/ Marco storyline and the Luke & Laura saga on GH

[@SeeingEyeMultimedia]

They were! From Ryan's Hope at 1230 to The Edge of Night at 4PM on New York s WABC-TV. You could lose a whole afternoon without a video recorder, lol!

[@yaywhewclips242]

We start watching OLTL JUST about this time. The hospital scene is so unforgettable. I love every actor who plays: Pat, Jennie (she wound up on Matlock great gig) Karen even, Marco, of course Dorian, Viki, Clint

[@brookehanley3659]

Yes Brynn Thayer and Judith Light did very well. Judith did REALLY well. Always thought Brynn was utterly beautiful.

Clint said "back home in Arizona." Which, of course, is not where the Buchanan ranch turned out to be, later on.

[@badguitar5653]

if i remember correctly, clint had been long estranged from the rest of the Buchanans, so it's likely he had moved to arizona while the rest of them were in texas. When clint is reuinited with Asa when Asa comes to llanview, they haven't seen each other in years

[@rustynailmendlesohn8710]

Marco/Mario was my first gay guy crush back in the day when I watched these first run in college. Good looking with a kind hearted bad boy streak. Those were the days. 😍

This choice of show on “One Life to Live” was aired on ABC daytime Monday, November 12, 1979.

[@brookehanley3659]

Thanks for the date

[@JoeOConnellAllNew]

Day-um! Clint was one smokin' hot cowboy! And is that Linda Dano from Another World? I know that Robin Strasser (Dorian) and Jackie Courtney (Pat) had been two sides of a massively popular love triangle story on AW about 10 years before this. It seems obvious that the OLTL writers had planned to create a similar storyline between Dorian, Pat & Clint. I guess they realized that Clint was a more interesting foil for Viki sometime after this episode.

[@kenyattasimpson8468]

That's Linda dano she came back as rae Cummings in 2000, and I see Mrs Walsh from 90210

[@su-rv2uq]

@Jeremy Dowdy I read that Jacquie Courtney and George Reinholt were hell to work with on Another World, not showing up to work, changing their lines etc.

[@loveyu2778]

Good Stuff...!

[@natalieps2387]

I just recently read some info I never knew. Bo Buchanan was originally brought on to be vikis love interest ( wow that would have been crazy looking at how things went instead ) but erika was pregnant & on maternity leave so they quickly paired pat up w/ bo. People were surprised how fast they fizzled b/c they had just sent bo & pat on location to Paris. I also read ( purely a rumour ) that the actress playing pat was having an affair with than joe stewart ( he was either producer or head writer of oltl then ) & she was pushing to replace viki as the new lead. No telling if it was true. I also read that all the actresses were smitten w/ bob woods when he first arrived ( bo def was a cutie ) & all begged to be his love interest. Look it's mrs Walsh from 90210. So weird to see Dorian living at llainfair & owning the banner. I get it's terrible to switch babies but I can see Karen's motives are a lot better when oltl did this 10 years later w/ gabrielle where brenda was crushed & wanted her baby very much while karen figured Katrina was giving her baby up for adoption anyway. It's not right at all but she did it b/c she loved her sister.

[@JoeOConnellAllNew]

I think you have it slightly wrong about actress Jacqueline Courtney who played Pat. Prior to being on OLTL, she had been on Another World, where she definitely was having an affair with the (married) producer. The story I read was that the affair came to light when Courtney did a photo shoot for a soap opera magazine ("See how the STARS live!" or some such.) One of the photos was Courtney showing off her bedroom, and she absent-mindedly left a framed photo the producer by her bedside. One of the photos that got published in the magazine showed the framed photo, and when fans and other AW cast members (not to mention the producer's wife) saw it, the s*** hit the fan. Both the producer and Courtney were fired from AW soon after that.

[@intheredcold9216]

The actor playing Pat was wooden and had no charisma. At least from the few scenes I've watched on YT.

[@brookehanley3659]

@@intheredcold9216I always thought she was unique looking and utterly stunning

[@brookehanley3659]

Bo and Vicki would have been just as bad a match as Vicki and Clint. Horrible chemistry. And not long before this Bo-Robert Woods was the love interest of Mary Ellen Walton on The Waltons.

[@samuellavon4846]

When Clint and Dorian were talking about horses, it was coming off as very sexual 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You know who Nancy Snyder (Katrina Karr) reminds me a little of? Brenda Brock, who played Brenda McGillis on ONE LIFE starting in 1988.

I am enjoying these classic one life to live. Greatest episodes ever. But how can Karen switch. Someone's elses baby.

[@yaywhewclips242]

Later I think Gabrielle and another character were embroiled in a baby switch story.

[@brookehanley3659]

It was the 1970s. And I am sure babies got switched up before in history. Unintentionally but who knows!? Things were so unsophisticated in the last centuries

[@Tessa-vz1qb]

Ikr, that is one scary woman right there

So only Karen knew that Dr. Corelli was really Marco at this point in the story? I read Marco was impersonating his brother? I was young and didn’t start cutting school/staying home sick until 6th grade/1982 to watch Ryan’s Hope, AMC, OLTL, GH, Edge of Night. Ha P S love Judith Light but her hair was always a mess as Karen.

[@rustynailmendlesohn8710]

Karen's entire life was a mess from the moment she first stepped on screen LOL. Doesn't surprise me that hair stylists for the show followed that. Who has time for hair care when you are switching babies etc?

[@victoriajohnson5461]
