I remember a soap fan from danfling's board claiming that the Emily Benson storyline involving Royal Dunning was written from a story projection developed by the Dobsons.

That is wild to me. The twist that Emily Benson was the killer seemed to come into the story late. In fact I could swear that at one point Royal Dunning admitted to having killed David Thatcher and then later they had Sally remember that she had seen a woman wearing a ring holding the gun that shot David. From that point onward I'm sure that Emily was the plan but it felt like a disconnect from where the story started.

I don't know, but I do know Moviecraft does buy and transfers tapes themselves. So it's possible it might be new, but someone else might have a list of what has survived from Hawkins Falls.

Most of their soap episodes I've never seen on Youtube before (not all but most), so this may be another. Wiki says 15 episodes survive so maybe this is one of those 15. (I don't know if they had a record or if they had just found 15 on Youtube over the years).
