Does anyone know the air date when Mike Horton was shirtless and April comes downstairs and sees him dancing around?

UCLA sent me more stuff on Bill Bell's DOOL run. Early stuff as HW in 1966. He was HW when Ted was alive.

According to a letter from 1966 from Betty to Bill, Irna WAS a creative consultant! She even submitted projections when Bill was HW. She basically wrote alternatives to Bill's ideas and the Corday's weighed Irna and Bill's ideas and wrote tough drafts of their ideas infused (discarding things they liked while selecting plot points from either they did like).
Bill had then looked over the Corday's infusion and then wrote in what he felt.

Irna wanted to kill Alice Horton and Julie's parents -- that was discarded.

Ultimately, as Irna wrote the initial projection, Irna was in a way defacto co-hw. She helped guide the transition from her projections to Bill's story projections.

Wow. That's fascinating that Irna wanted to kill off Alice Horton.  Did she have a plan for Tom after Alice's death? Thanks for sharing this!

She was hoping it would be like killing Kathy on GL in that it would open more story ideas. And she felt the actress was terrible and couldnt sell being a wife and mother.

I wonder if Frances Reid ever found out that she was near the chopping block ...

Another deranged moment from Irna Phillips. Anyone who has seen Frances' film work outside of Days knows how versatile and talented she was.

Irna had written for Frances on ATWT as Grace Baker, Jeff's mother-who I think was an interfering type, so maybe Irna could only see her that way.

Her issues with Frances, she detailed, was based on how she dressed

Irna said she didn't dress like a Midwestern homemaker

Then change the warderobe? LOL, what an weird non-issue. 

Irna Phillips sounded like she was...a bit unhinged, to put it kindly. Thank goodness no one listened to her as far as Alice Horton went.

It's Irna we are talking about. She fired Helen Wagner over the way she poured coffee.

Irna did the same with Helen Wagner firing her after 13 weeks and then at AW dropped John Beal as Jim and Sarah Cunningham as Liz in the first week.

Also Will Lee might have appeared once as Grandpa Hughes before being dropped.

That was Irna's way....
