I really enjoyed that, too, Allan. Thanks for making those interviews available! I haven't heard people say much about Elinor Donahue personally, perhaps because she hasn't been a regular at TAGS events. But just hearing her voice and the way she answered Allan's questions gave me the impression that she is a nice, down-to-earth person. Like Larry, I enjoyed her presence in the first season of TAGS and wish she would have stayed longer. Though I liked the confident, spunky nature of her Ellie character, I suspect that if she had stayed longer than one season, the writers would have needed to make her relationship with Andy a little less antagonistic. (One could argue that Andy's relationship with Helen was of a similar nature, so maybe -- unlike Lou Grant -- Andy liked his gals to have some spunk!)
