Yes, Irna was still head writer at this time.
Well, you mentioned TV but Irna had already done a much more extensive storyline on radio on The Guiding Light in 1950 when she had Chuckie White got to a child psychologist. I think that was very groundbreaking at the time.
The show was set in a suburb of Chicago when the show was produced in Chicago. Then, the show's setting moved to a suburb of Los Angeles when the show's production moved to Los Angeles in 1947. The show was only produced in Los Angeles for a couple of years and then it moved to New York City although the setting for the show stayed Los Angeles until the late 60s and then it moved to the fictional Springfield. Yes, there were times when the show's setting seemed to be simultaneously in Los Angeles and NYC. The characters went back and forth to the two cities frequently. That may have to do with the fact that the production had moved to NYC.
