Storyline:
Before settling into the semi-regular role of Adam Cartwright's fiancée Laura Dayton during the 1963-64 season, Kathie Browne appeared as two different characters in two earlier Bonanza episodes. In "The Tall Stranger," Browne was cast as Margie Owens, the daughter of the town banker (Russell Owens). Though Hoss is in love with Margie, he loses out to charming, globetrotting Mark Connors (Sean McClory). Written on rottentomatoes.com

Reviews:
"Unusual for a Bonanza story in that the romance comes to Dan Blocker. But like it did in so many episodes the woman does not make it to the altar.

In this case the woman is Kathie Browne, daughter of neighbor Russell Thorsrn who has a few bucks of his own. Said bucks are what attracts con man Sean McClorywho sweeps her off her feet and Browne jilts Bloxker and marries McClory.

What a no good rat of a human being McClory is is revealed at the very end of the story. McClory and Blocker have a fine and dramatic climax scene.

One of Dan Blocker's best episodes." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

"As another reviewer stated, this is a situation that popped up way too many times during the series run. If it wasn't Hoss then it was Adam, or Joe or even Candy falling in love with a wide-eyed female and then getting their guts ripped out at the end of the show. In this episode it will be Hoss' time to fall in love only to get rejected during the show. But unlike most of the regular plots, we get to find out about how the woman's life turned out even after rejecting a Cartwright son.

This time a young female named Margie Owens, who is a life-long friend of Hoss, rejects Hoss in order to travel the world with a slick well-dressed man named Mark Connors. The well mannered gentleman that claims to have been all over the world slides right in and steals the heart of Margie right under the nose of Hoss. Leaving the viewer feeling for the large frame star that lost his life long friend.

This is a plot that was played over and over again during the fourteen years run. But unlike others, the bright spot was that the story continued and revealed what happened after the rejection. Without giving anything away, it was worth seeing the effect or people decisions." Written by kfo9494 on IMDb.com
