When Amanda Blake left gunsmoke who took over the saloon?

When Amanda Blake, who played Miss Kitty Russell on "Gunsmoke," left the show in 1974, her character's saloon was taken over by a new character named "Miss Kitty's cousin," played by actress Georgann Johnson. However, after Blake's departure, the character of Miss Kitty was not directly replaced, and the saloon's storyline gradually diminished. The show continued for several more seasons, focusing on other characters and storylines.
