I couldn't get a still for this episode, so
here's Arthur Peterson, possibly on
his Gilligan's Island appearance.
Soap: Episode 72
ABC
November 26, 1980
Dramedy
DVD
C+

Sheriff Burt tells Jodie that there's nothing he can do about Wendy, since it doesn't count as kidnapping if it's the parent and there's no ransom demand.  Mary receives Burt's blackmail pictures, which she shows to Jessica.  Dutch and Eunice announce that they're getting married next week.  Chester is upset, until Dutch saves them all by jumping on Leslie's grenade.  And Jessica tells Chester she's divorcing him and he can live in the pool house.  I want to add to my previous thoughts on the dumbing down of Danny that one difference between him and Chrissy Snow is that with her, the viewer waited to see how she'd react, while with Danny it just slows the scene down.  (And he's no Gilligan either.)

Chuck, Bob, and of course Corinne are absent.
