Thanks for sharing. That was a good read. I also loved how Margaret Reed (Shannon O'Hara McKechnie) commented on the blog too.

I believe the headwriter at time was Susan Bedsow Horgan....

It was either John Saffron or Tom King & Millie Taggart

Mary Elis Bunim was EP when Meg Ryan was on ATWT

Fall 1981 – October 1984 Mary-Ellis Bunim

Mid-1983–1984 John Saffron

Meg left June 1984

SBH began HW in November 1984

November 1984 – April 1985 Cynthia Benjamin and Susan Bedsow Horgan

I think it was Millee Taggart who had hired Poll.

Does 1985 count as late '80s? '85 was when Julianne Moore first appeared on ATWT (I've been watching You Tube, of course). I'd normally count that as mid 1980s.
