Producer/writer Paul Avila Mayer said they never replay a scene -- today's flashback looked like the original to me -- and not a newly shot version. I'll have to look for the original scene later and compare.
Soap Opera Digest -- 1977 (I think)
“We have a violent thing about flashbacks as they are used in the medium,” Paul gives an example. “We never replay a scene. We'll film it new.”

I saw that scene too, and wondered about Pat's hair in it. Wasn't it shorter and curlier in the beginning of the series?

I know it's not exactly what Paul said, but I had the feeling that when he talked about not replaying a scene, he was referring to the times when a scene continued from one day to the next, and Day Two's scene started with the tail end of Day One. They did that fairly often, and I don't ever recall a time when they replayed the Day One footage.
But they did, obviously, replay scenes and snippets from the past. For instance, how many times did we get treated to the scenes of Mary and Jack in the park, on the bicycles, going down the slide, walking around in Manhattan? And Mary in Ireland, meandering among the trees? I think it's pretty clear that Paul wasn't referring to flashback scenes when he made his comment. |

Hi Wanda,  Although I was doing something else when RH was on today, I glanced, but mostly listened, as if it were a radio soap, (those must have been great!) Anyway, I plan on rewatching it, so I will look, but at the glances I did see, I thought that flashback scene looked re-shot. Pat's hair looked different, (as was mentioned above, and the scene just had a different feel, and different lighting than I remember it. (Although I may be completely wrong and it is the original scene.  interesting topic. I like that RH did not start off with a few re-shot lines from the day before, as too many soaps do today. -Echo- |

I took a look -- and it was the original scene.

There was a scene in Roger's apartment -- shown again not too long ago -- when at the end of one episode Delia's scarf was pink, and at the beginning of the next day's episode it was blue (or vice versa). Replaying the scene from the first day probably would have been beneficial on that second day, LOL |
