Thanks again @Reverend Ruthledge
Was Irna still the main writer at this time?
Interesting to see focus on therapy for Bill, Bert and Mike as this was still a period where therapy could be mocked in entertainment. I wonder if this was the first TV soap to focus on therapy.
Mike really was a mess when he was growing up. They seemed to pass those traits onto Ed and clean Mike by the mid/late '60s.
They should have brought Helen into Robin's story later on (unless she was killed off).
Given that they only had 15 minutes a day, I'm surprised they managed to juggle several stories while still getting used to the format. It seems like Search in these years still mostly focused on Jo.
There's so much focus on going back and forth to New York. I wonder if they ever considered moving the characters to New York. I wonder why they didn't have them there originally instead of LA, if there was a reason why they were situated in LA.
