PEYTON PLACE Episoee 483. 12-11-68 Carolyn makes a surprise visit to her father in Boston. WA: Tonight, Marsha Russell finds herself in a house of strangers. Despite her countless efforts to win the confidence of her daughter, Carolyn, she has seen the distance between the living room and Carolyn's upstairs bedroom grow to vast porportions. Carolyn, too, is totally aware of the distance between them and for her growning need for the companionship and understanding of her father. Intro: The Russell mail box. Inside the Russell house, Marsha turns out the light. Scene 1: Marsha goes to Carolyn's room and sits on the bed to talk. Marsha suggests that they go an auction at Haverhill and buy an antique bed for Carolyn. Carolyn says would like to talk but needs to sleep. She says that she needs to work on her science project at school even on weekends, and that she has a cold. Scene 2: Rodent Heights science project in the hospital basement. Dave, Lewis, Carolyn, and another girl. Lew mentions that he had forgotten about the infra-red lights. They are there to fool the rats. Mr. Ed, a rat is mentioned. Scene 3: In the hospital corridor, Rodney is walking using a chair-walker. Chuck Atwell opens the double doors for him. Atwell goes in to see Dr. Miles. Rodney has navigated the whole length of the hall. Dr. Miles reeks with sarcasm. Atwell leaves. Miles wife comes in, kisses him and asks him to take her to lunch. They go outside through the side door of the hospital and get coffee at the lunch wagon. [Not the lunch she had envisioned. Here in TX we sometimes refer to a lunch wagon as a roach coach.] They talk about the phone call that Lewis made to New York. Scene 4: Carolyn gets on the Interstate Bus which has stopped in front of the bank at the far end of the square from the fire station and courthouse. [The Interstate Bus Terminal has evolved into the Peyton movie theater, but the writers never told us that.] The bus pulls out. Carolyn had come from the direction of the hospital side door, on Glover Street. Sometimes the bus stops in front of the Pharmacy, sometimes in front of the bank building, sometimes in front of the Town Hall, and once on the wharf to drop off Jill Smith and baby Kelly. Scene 5: Lewis Miles visits Tom Winter who is working on a boat by the wharf. They go b'low and talk. Winter declines to help Lew. Scene 6: Ada and Rita are playing cards. The telephone rings. Rita asks Ada to get it. Ada says, "You're not even talking to Norman?" Ada answers. It is a wrong number. Ada says, "You got the wrong number, lady." They continue to talk and play cards. Ada wins a hand. Rita says, "I hate you." Rita says, "I don't really hate you." [This scene appears to have been a space filler.] Scene 7: Carolyn is buzzed into her father's apartment house, in Boston. She goes to his apartment and is invited in. He asks her how she got there and that he's glad she came. They talk about Marsha and about Jeff Kramer. Fred says that her mother loves her very much. Carolyn says that she and her mother have nothing to talk about. The phone rings. Fred answers it. Charlie, a business associate, has called. He wants to know about a couple of estimates. The River Road estimate. Fred mentions Larry. Carolyn goes into the bedroom and finds a girl, Donna Franklin. Carolyn is obviously surprised and shocked. Carolyn and Fred fuss briefly, and Carolyn leaves. This illuminates Carolyn, who had always thought that her mother, Marsha, was the parent at fault. Preview: Rodney talks to Dr. Miles. Marsha talks on the phone to Fred. Norman talks to Betty. RH: Nobody wants to walk any more than I do. Listen doctor, I've been cooped up here for months. I get to see Betty an hour or so a day. MR: What happened, Fred? MR: Were you entertaining a lady friend? MR: And you were the one to have the merve to complain about my relationship with Mike Rossi. NH: If you're so anxious to break up your marriage, you can count on me to help. Just let me know. Donna Franklin, Fred Russell's mistress. Haverhill auction. Mr. Ed, a rat, only mentioned.
