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.

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....
