Were the Hortons Irna's? I've always known she was involved in the creation of DOOL, along with Ted & Betty Corday & Bill Bell, ... maybe someone else I'm not tripping on their name right now, but I never knew specifics. Certainly interested in knowing.

And, what happened with the Spauldings in 1993?

That was around the time Beverley McKinsey left.  Marj Dusay was very serviceable at first until mustache twirling Ron Raines came on as Alan.  The two of them camped so hard, as the once nuanced characters became one-dimensional cartoons.
