Members amybrickwallace Posted March 23, 2020 Members Share Posted March 23, 2020 It's always fun to see then-unknown faces pop up. In the past few weeks, a pre-EDGE Mark Arnold and Felice Schachter (Facts of Life) have shown up in the reruns.

Members RavenWhitney Posted March 24, 2020 Members Share Posted March 24, 2020 Are the writers still Levin/Cherrill? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RavenWhitney Posted March 25, 2020 Members Share Posted March 25, 2020 Interesting. I think she and Cherrill will be gone from credits soon. I know Levin started writing scripts for SFT in spring 1980 when the Corringtons were replaced by Linda Grover/John Porterfield as head writers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 25, 2020 Members Share Posted March 25, 2020 Surprisingly Levin and Cherill stay on right throughout Doris Quinlan's tenure. When Joe Rothenberger takes over as EP, Ralph Ellis and Eugenie Hunt became headwriters. Who knows why Levin/Cherill stayed on for another year or so despite falling ratings. Maybe Quinlan became defacto headwriter? There were certainly a lot of new characters introduced... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted March 25, 2020 Author Members Share Posted March 25, 2020 Quinlan had breathed new life into the show IMO. Nancy Pinkerton is pure brilliance on this show right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted March 28, 2020 Members Share Posted March 28, 2020 Actually, that's not accurate according to a Jon-Michael Reed article that just surfaced online. It was published in October 1980. Reed said that NBC fired Quinlan in late September/early October 1980 after Colgate-Palmolive sold the show to NBC. She was replaced by Jim Baffico. Rothenberger did join the show but was a line producer, not executive producer. The article also says that Ellis and Hunt were hired as head writers in 1979. That actually matches what the woman who transcribes The Doctors for Retro said. About a month or so ago, she indicated that Ellis' name already showed up in the writing credits. So Ellis/Hunt were onboard by late 1979/early 1980. The article also states that Quinlan and Colgate-Palmolive wanted to fire Ellis and Hunt and replace them with Harding Lemay. But then the show was sold to NBC and NBC opted to keep Ellis/Hunt as head writers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 28, 2020 Members Share Posted March 28, 2020 Thanks for clearing that up - it certainly makes sense. As I said I found it odd that Quinlan would keep the current team. I was going on the summaries supplied by French Fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
