Need to find a missing credit on an episode of Robert Blake's 1985 TV series "Helltown" -- my guest star credit not listed there

I am Lycia Naff and did a guest star spot on Robert Blake's 1985 series Helltown but I can't find the actual episode and name of my character to add it to my IMDB credits. Never thought to check until I heard Blake just died. Can you help me? LyciaNaff@yahoo.com

Lycia: If you post the plot of your episode, I suspect that there are people here who could find out what episode it was. Then you could submit your credit to the episode.

Internet research claims you played 'Kate' in an episode called

A Wedding in Hell Town" (a.k.a. "A Simple Wedding") Season 1, Episode 12 Kate

That episode seems to be missing from IMDb, apparently there was 15 episodes (and a Pilot), but on IMDb a two parter has been added as one entry and one is missing so only 13 episodes and the pilot are listed.

I've made submissions to add the missing episodes so you should be able to add yourself when it goes live.

Edit: it has been approved, I'm in the process of sorting the episode order out but if it is the correct episode, here is a link, you can now add your credit: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27118520/

@VonPunk​ That's the correct episode for sure:

I'll add all cast and crew after episodes are settled.

@mbmb​ Excellent. Bit of slow going moving them on approval but it's getting there. All my data says the episode 'Hell Town Goes Bananas' was a two parter aired the same night, do you have anything that backs that up or was it aired a feature length episode?

I was going to add it as a 2 parter but thought I'd check if you had anything that contradicted that info.

@VonPunk​ I added all cast (@lycianaff credit was added already but fixed its order as well) and most crew to this episode now.

I also checked newspaper listings for that "Hell Town Goes Bananas" episode from its original air day and all listings indicate it was aired as one long episode originally. Moreover I found a TV recording of that episode as well and it's a long 90 mins episode with no interruption and with one set of credits. So I think it should stay as one episode because apparently that was how it originally aired.

I'll continue to complete missing data on all eps after episode numbers are settled.

@mbmb​ Thanks for that info, very useful. I don't want to create a problem while solving another, so left at one episode for that.

I have another question I'm hoping you can help with. I'm using multiple sources even defunct sites (via WBM) to sort it out but I've noticed a discrepancy where some lists have different penultimate episodes listed.

Some have an episode titled 'Straight To Hell' directed by Cliff Boles and others have 'The Last Kiss' directed by Alf Kjellin.

Alf Kjellin is credited on IMDb with directing 'Love and the Four Corners' along with Joseph Manduke, i don't know if this is an error on the site, as TV episodes rarely have two directors but I don't think it;s the same episode as 'The Last Kiss' as nothing I can see corresponds with that.

The former is already listed on IMDb but the latter is not, can you shed any light on this?

Other than that, episode order should be okay now, think someone greased the wheels to make changes quicker.

@VonPunk​ Dec 18 TV listings indicate penultimate episode was "The Last Kiss":

This episode has Alf Kjellin as director:
I also figured where "Straight to Hell" title comes from. Apparently it was the early title of the final episode:
But that episode was eventually aired as "One Ball":
So there is no "Straight to Hell" episode.
I'll check credits of "Love and the Four Corners" and "One Ball" later today (don't have these episodes for now) but I'm sure "Alf Kjellin" credit on "Love and the Four Corners" is just a mistake.
As far as I can tell CTVA's episode and credit listing looks the most accurate.

@mbmb​ You're an ace Detective. Many thanks for that information. So I've submitted a change to the title and director of that episode. As for that I think I'm done and as you have better info, I'll leave you in peace to continue improving the page where you can do. Thanks again.
