If it helps any, the last script cover from the Elman papers that I have is from episode #3,736 airdate November 15, 1977. Writers are the Hollands with Frank Salisbury.

Thanks all for the tag on this one! They’re out there, somewhere!

The script covers I have from Fielden Farrington’s collection has Marla Pennington playing Samantha by November 1975.

Very sad to hear the news of Denise’s passing.

I’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”. 🫢

Chiming in. Marco, while filling a gap in an underrepresented demo, does not need to be tied to either Natalia or Sidwell. I appreciate the addition of a gay contract character, but Marco isn’t the one. We literally have Dr. Lucas Jones with his many ties to many classic GH characters on recurring. Although portrayed by a less than stellar actor in VH, the character should be THE gay. Marco/Eloi (are we sure they aren’t one and the same?) is nothing more than a justification for having ELR on the show. If her existence was intended to be paired with MB, the creation of an entire family is overkill. MB has just as much chemistry, dare I say more, with ADA Turner.

Not that this is much help, but the earliest episode info I have from ‘77 shows that the episode airing May 13th (Friday) was taped May 5 (Thursday).

I don’t have a definitive date for her first episode.

@MissPalmer Check your dm’s.

I was alerted to this one’s premiere on YouTube and it didn’t disappoint! I was confused by the episode description stating that Shelby Hiatt (Jane Harland Dawson) was in the episode, but otherwise, what a treat! Thanks for the tag.

I am working hard at it. Stay tuned.

@cassadine1991@Paul Raven Here's a better snapshot of writing credits (from the Dobson Papers). GH Writing Credits

Sadly, that page is full of misinformation that I won’t be correcting there. This is a personal, passion project of mine, and I am not one to call out others for ‘wrong’ info. I smile and nod if I know for certain what someone is saying is not correct. If and when my research proves publishable, you can find it on my website: https://previouslyongh.info. Nothing there…yet.

The Ferros were credited as writers until 13 September, they wrote with Hursley’s signing off on the scripts. The Hursleys did pen the unaired pilot episode (different from the first Emergency Hospital pilot). Footage of the Hursley pilot episode can be found on YouTube here:

The Maples material began with the episode airing 16 September 1963. Their episodes are mixed with episodes written by Catherine Turney (7 October -11 October), Milton Geiger (14 October - 25 October), and Rik Vollaerts (28 October - 08 November). The Maples took back over on 11 November-27 December. With Melvin Levy writing the weeks of 25-29 November and 09-13 December. F & D took over beginning with the episode airing 30 December 1963.

Hi friends! As an early Christmas gift, I would like to share with you a reproduction of the script (with commercials) of the Christmas Day 1963 episode of GH. Enjoy this look at the first time Dr. Hardy reads the Nativity story to the hospital's Children's Ward! GH - December 25, 1963 I hope you all have a happy Holiday season, and I look forward to sharing more classic GH research with you in 2025! dep

Wednesday, June 4: Steve finds it difficult to listen to Beth talk about his projected marriage. Lee tells Peter and Diana about Augusta’s sentence. Lee and Henry persuade Jane to go home although she is very worried about Joanne; Jane tells Lee she is upset about Howie coming to see Joanne; she doesn’t want to have to see him.

Lesley tells Peter that she is changing her phone number because she got another crank call; she tells him that Joanne’s death has made her remember the deaths of her own children. Diana urges Peter to tell Augusta about Joanne. Thursday, June 19: Thurston reluctantly gives Kira the transcripts of patients who have made complaints against the hospital and Joel.

I've always got that feeling that he's holding back a bit on that content. I assumed it was to avoid copyright strikes. I feel like he's sitting on a reasonable goldmine if he's keeping that footage to himself. I would pay per view or something, too. I chuckle when he posts the donation videos, not realizing that if he has rare soaps and game show material, we'd pay.

They're out there, we just have to find them!! Thanks for pointing that out, I saw the pt. 1 OVS posted, but didn't get a chance to watch pt. 2.

Maxie nicknamed him “Hot Dustin”, which was very apropos IMHO.

I’m so glad the Metro pool was empty when Krissy belly-flopped into it.
