Howie was Series Producer from ep 261 to end of 92 but then promoted to Exec Producer from the start of 93 to later 94. According to the credits at least.

So his overall role in the show goes further back than 1993. Interviews from the time would suggest that Monaghan was pretty hands-off as far as Exec Producers go, meaning that Andrew Howie's influence likely defined that entire 89-94 period.

Also, there was no Series Producer in that time when Howie was Exec (presumably due to the recession?). So he was likely "double hatting" & still very hands on, compared with Des' approach of delegation of authority.

Greg Stevens was Script Producer for the entire late 89 - early 95 period (with various sidekicks over that period including John Hugginson & Boaz Stark), so another common denominator. Compare his storylining approach with the Bevan Lee era of 0 - 280.

Maybe it's me placing him on an equal footing with Don Battye on Neighbours around that time period, who actually was Reg Watson's direct successor..

I think he was forced to resign or they would have done a full investigation and he could face jail time and Charlie was involved too regarding letting Hugo run free.

Either way, he was still on the show for a while after leaving the force.

When they brought Pippa's dad Bert back in 1995, he was becoming forgetful and having accidents because of it. He eventually moved into a retirement village which was an arrangement that seemed to suit everybody. When he was brought back in 1996 and 1997, was he still like this? Or had they forgotten what he was like in 1995?
