Members robbwolff Posted March 29, 2020 Members Share Posted March 29, 2020 The article was fascinating. I had no idea that there was interest in Lemay head writing TD as early as 1980. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted March 29, 2020 Members Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Speaking of Ralph Ellis and Eugenie Hunt. They were prolific (and well respected) soap writers and not only served as headwriters of TD but at SFT twice and other shows. Both were also hired as breakdown writers, script writers and story consultants on various shows. Eugenie died a few years ago. https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/past_obituaries/article/Obituary-Gene-H-Ellis-82-actress-and-writer-14003844.php Edited March 29, 2020 by RavenWhitney 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted April 1, 2020 Members Share Posted April 1, 2020 The latest from Retro. The good news is the recent cast interviews will be shown later this month. The bad news is they're going to have to stop airing the 1979 episodes temporarily (and will re-air the 1967 episodes).

Members DRW50 Posted April 1, 2020 Members Share Posted April 1, 2020 Wow. I never would have thought of corona impacting something like this. I wish they could air some of the pre-Dec 67 episodes too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MichaelGL Posted April 2, 2020 Author Members Share Posted April 2, 2020 Didnt Ellis and Hunt pen ATWT through much of the 70s? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted April 2, 2020 Members Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Yes they took over after Irna had departed a second time and wrote from 73-78. Edited April 2, 2020 by Paul Raven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted April 10, 2020 Members Share Posted April 10, 2020 Today's episode of The Doctors on Retro, which originally aired in December 1979, listed Ellis and Hunt as the head writers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FrenchFan Posted April 11, 2020 Members Share Posted April 11, 2020 Thanks ! We should update the HW list with all the information we have. Has anyone made a list since 1967 ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted April 14, 2020 Members Share Posted April 14, 2020 I do recall (the actress playing Ashley got an emmy nom... and her arc was huge in 1980. I like Zimmer's take on NOLA so far...she plays grief well without going into Revva esque historonics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted April 15, 2020 Members Share Posted April 15, 2020 That was the first time I'd seen Valerie Mahaffey ... she's probably better known for comedy these days but I remember being very impressed with her dramatic turn on The Doctors. I can't remember any story specifics, but I believe she played a neurotic, almost Glass Menagerie-like character, and was very effective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Due to COVID-19/Coronavirus. The Doctors will stop airing current episodes from 79-80. They will start with 1967's episodes. In about a week. Due to the lockdown they can't go to the warehouse where the tapes are stored.
