Message: <blockquote data-quote="Angela Channing" data-source="post: 318155" data-attributes="member: 33">There was another scene in which Ellie takes Clayton to a hotel on the pretext that they are going to a party with some of her friends but she's really taking him there for a night of nookie. There was a playfulness about Ellie that was a side to her that we didn't really see when Barbara Bel Geddes was in the role and it's hard to imagine Barbara in that scene. I think Donna Reed did ok as Ellie and I always thought viewers might have felt differently about her had she played Ellie for 11 seasons and Barbara only did one.</blockquote>
