Olivia Delaney was a bit of a mystery character.She was brought on as the ex wife of Robert but that was never explored as Robert was off the canvas and then she hung around with no story. Maybe Olivia was a victim of the writer changes around that time.

Variety reported in Jan 65 that John Beradino and Emily McLaughlin had successfully lobbied to receive special billing in the end credits.

RE RTPP Variety mentioned Terry Linn Wood into continuing role in June 73. And Ivor Francis for 'several episodes' April 72. Also Stacy Harris died suddenly in March 73 and was replaced by Frank Maxwell.

You would think that the headwriter/assistants job would be to lay out story and beats /character motivation etc without paying out extra money to have someone else throw in their 2 cents worth. From what I've read half the time they're ignored anyway.

Yes it was Julie. At a time when the show needed focus and to strengthen the core,they went in the opposite direction and went for new characters and families.

Have Sally decide to leave town with Kevin or mysteriously disappear and later discover Denny Hobson,her first hubby is responsible! Sally Phillips was the first 'adult' Sally and she was a rebellious type.Dawn Bwnz was also shortlived in the role at on e point. AW missed an opportunity in not having Ricky Matthews arrive in BC as a teen to stay with Grandma Liz and discover the truth about his past.He could go in search of his blood reatives, only to be disappointed and realize that the Matthews are his true family. Russ could have been given a teen daughter or son at this time (early 80's)a result of an affair from the times he was away from Bay City.

Wonder what Gillian Spencer contributed as story consultant?

I've often read that Irna Phillips disapproved of Jane House (Liz Stewart) appearing in the play 'Lenny' and wrote her out.But acccording to a Chicago Tribune article Jane was dismissed around June 71,a good 6 months before Irna returned. Gloria DeHaven joined ATWT as Sara Fuller in Nov 1965.

Thanks Slick- that is an amazing effort.Well done and much appreciated. I am going to have to read through it several times to get my head around it. One thing I did pickup was Stan Watt as Charles Lamont. I have it that he was a temp in 1971 while Jonathan Moore filmed the movie 1776.
