The late Emmaline Henry guest starred on a pretty good black and white 1966episode of "I Dream of Jeannie".Name the episode and her character's name.

In 'Is There an Extra Jeannie in the House?' she played Myrt.

I hope that's right, I got it from imdb....

...the series' producer and prolific writer, remembered Emmaline from that episode, and wanted to bring her back on a regular basis in season two. So he cast her as "Amanda Bellows", beginning with "The World's Greatest Lover" in December 1966, and she continued through the end of the series. As for Vinton Hayworth, his appearance as "General Watson" in "Jeannie and the Top-Secret Secret" paved the way for him to succeed Barton MacLane after the latter's death. MacLane, in turn, was supposed to have appeared only once as "General Peterson" in "Too Many Tonys". But Sheldon liked his presence- and his "chemistry" with Hayden Rorke- and brought him back several weeks later (in "The Richest Astronaut in the Whole Wide World").
