Re Three Steps to Heaven, Kay Medford played Elaine, night club hostess.
Sam Gilman played Monty, a bartender.
Poco is described as a NYC model whose roots are still deep in her Midwestern hometown.
Poco's husband, Bill Morgan, was a writer.
Barry Thurmond was Poco's brother and Uncle Frank was her uncle.
Vince Bannister was a nightclub owner-racketeer. Was trying to break up Poco and Bill, by trying to convince Poco that Bill was a bigamist.

56 minutes ago, Bill Bauer said:
Yes, that's him and he seems to be having a temper tantrum in that photo so that could be the smoking gun. LOL. Good find indeed!
Who is that very 70s-looking kid on the far left? Would that be TJ Werner?
Yes, that's T.J. Hargrave. I do remember him but don't remember Gary.

I found this item from 1974. Makes me think Gary Hannoch is the child actor in the Charita story. Is this Gary between Mart and Charita, lol?

Lyle Sudrow played Angus MacDonald on Lora Lawton.
Karl Weber played Brook Forrester (really) on Romance of Helen Trent in 1941. Didn't find anything about his 1953 role.

A few more for Hawkins Falls.
From NBC press release, Nov. 1951, Jack Bivans plays Mike Pargin, who returns to Hawkins Falls after his business fails.
From NBC press release, Mar. 1955, mentions that Pat O’Neal plays Perry Hyden. I’m guessing this is the man little Nellie was with when Lona met her.
From April 1954, Minneapolis Star, Rupert LaBelle has just finished a run on a Hawkins Falls.

Re Hawkins Falls:
Toughy's last name was Padget and was played by John Galvarro.
Per a 1956 Radio TV Mirror article, Jayne Heller also had a role (unknown character).
Also, Carol Corey was Floyd's sister; trying to cause trouble between Floyd and Lona.
I also learned that Bridget Daly Brazlen (that's the spelling in the articles I found that mentioned Hawkins Falls, but the articles were about her mother) was the same Brigid Bazlen who played Salome in King of Kings.

Re GL and Arthur Peterson being written out, these clippings are from the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The first one is from a 1949 article re Arthur Peterson's father (Arthur, Sr.). The other three are from a 1980 interview of Arthur (Jr.). Both mention GL moving to the west coast. Was that once a plan?

Slick, Frank Dane only played Clate Weathers in the nighttime version (which aired in 1950). He played Knap Drewer on the daytime version. I think Clate and Knap might be the same character because both were newspaper editors (newspaper was called "Hawkins Falls Journal"). He was Lona's first husband, and they adopted the runaway boy (9-year old Roy, also referred to as John Roy). Dane got into a dispute with the writer and producer and they killed him off in a plane crash (plane fell into the Irish Sea when Knap flew over to cover Queen Elizabeth's coronation). Lona took over the newspaper.
Re Roy's aunt, the few references I found said her name was Marijean Robbins (she was the sister of Roy's mother). Roy's parents were killed in a car accident. She was also trying to get custody of Roy. Don't have the name of the actress but this is her picture, in case anyone recognizes her.
Re Arthur Peterson, his character (in the early years, at least) was "Doc Gibbs." Referred to as a druggist and a soda clerk, well-educated, who frequently gets arrested. Provides home-spun philosophy.
Nancy Campbell was married to Ray Campbell (Jim Andelin). They apparently separated and Nancy was involved with a doctor (possibly Floyd Corey). Ray was trying to win her back. (1954)
Belinda Catherwood was the town's richest woman and self-appointed guardian of morality. She had a niece, named Janet Weaver (played by Nancy Brougham). Janet's friend, Gillie, was played by Jean Hawley.
Nellie (original last name Hyden) was a 7-year old girl Lona took an interest in (she was in the company of some man coming through town---sounded kind of creepy but maybe he kidnapped her?). The articles I found spell the actress' first name Bridget (and she was really 10-years old).
Millie Flagle was the town's laundress. She and Laif had a baby named Mark (played by Ros Twohey's real son, Mark Twohey). Born in 1952.
Elmira Cleebe was described as a housewife and mother of two.
Cleo Hollister ran the town's bookstore.
Mr. Kratz's first name was Johnathan. The oldest man in town, in his 70s.
Sue Riga married Mitch Fredericks in May 1955. He soon thinks she's cheating on him.
Judge Sharp's first name was Willard.
Norm Gottschalk played Phinny Zites, town handyman.
May Shipley was described as a baby-sitter. She looks to be in her 60s in a picture from the pertinent time (although I'm terrible at judging ages from that time period).
Vera Ward played April Winfield.
Marie Engstrand Brady played Osa Helgstrom, Swedish washerwoman.
Jean Mowry played Claire Petrah.
Les Spears played Jake Debrow, barber.
Corinne Calvet's husband, John Bromfield, appeared with her, as himself.
Alexander McQueen played Tad Mudwert, station agent.
Cliff Soubler played Jim Mayberry (1952).
Character of Theresa Mayberry was mentioned in a 1954 synopsis. She was in love with Mitch Fredericks.
Tom Neal played the warden of a boy's reform school (1954).
John Ericson played Jerry Boone, prize fighter (1952).
Other actors with unknown roles:
Marie Petrillo
Faith Brooks

Thanks for the articles Paul. That real life court case sounds interesting. I would love to see a series based on Irna's life. She seems fascinating to me. Wonder who could play her, lol?
