I have read a lot about this particular serial, but I don't recall ever actually seeing it. James Mitchell has always been an interesting actor & Gregory Abels & Diana Walker seemed to compliment him well. I understand from what I read that it was very controversial for its time. Four years isn't a long time for a serial, but if it is memorable, then it lives. I wonder if this one could ever been repeated on SoapNet? I know that Joe Mascolo was also a part of the cast as Ed Lucas, crazy Vicky's father. Diana Van Der Vlis was also in the cast as Kate Hathaway. Again, I don't recall this on real well, other than what I have read, but is sounds well written & fascinating!

Return to Peyton Place
(1972–1974)
A Great Show!
22 March 2007
This was one of the great soaps of the 70's. It ended way to soon. I was a fan of the nighttime version & I thought the daytime version picked up beautifully where nighttime left off. I especially liked the storyline where Betty kept seeing Martin Peyton in the house, it was creepy, yet fun. Like I said, it ended way to soon, I would love to see it again. I would like to see nighttime version on DVD also! I still remember the final scene with Allsion & Rodney together the way they should have always been. Can somebody refresh my memory about whether Martin Peyton came back at the very end or not? Also, what was the storyline involving Monica Bell & DB Bentley?
