Heres what I have Front row: Alma(Lisa's mother), Joyce, Nancy, Chris, Carol, Jay, Natalie Standing Nurse Pat Holland, Mary Ellison, Grant, ? Kim, Bob, Valerie, ?, Betsy, Don, I think it is Sandy (Barbara Rucker) in the stripe top. No Lisa, Dan, Tom or John in that photo.

Re Follow Your Heart Howard Erskine left on Oct 53 as he was producing a play that went to Broadway. He was the fiance of Julie and they quickly broke up and was written out. He went on to win a Tony for producing.

Re Secret Storm Warren Berlinger left in Aug 56. Lillian Schaffe joined around that time.

Week of July 6 1956 TV Index newsletter. Helen Wagner deleted from permanent cast. I'd read that Irna was not happy with Helen's work and that Helen took some vacation time and let it be known she wasn't that interested in returning which then made mercurial Irna determined to have her back. That's the first time I've seen an official statement.
