Autumn Affair

The program was conceived from a conversation between radio writer Richard Lane and Len Mauger, station manager of Seven Network.

Many of the actors and writers involved in the production had previously worked on radio soap opera, and were inexperienced with television acting.

The cast comprised just six regulars; the story focused on Julia (Muriel Steinbeck), a widow in a love triangle situation with two men.

"[7] Ailsa McPherson, who worked on the show as script assistant, wrote "for performance quality Autumn Affair relied heavily on Muriel Steinbeck's professionalism and her photographic memory.

Actors also would leave the series - Janette Craig accepted the role of Bubba in theatre production of Summer of the Seventeenth Doll and had to be written out.

[10] Cast members Queenie Ashton and Janette Craig had previously appeared in a 1957 ABC TV play together called Tomorrow's Child,[11] though it is not known if a copy of the production still exists.
