Talk:Lovey Howell

Eunice citation
Where'd this name come from? As far as this article indicates, the name Eunice was never used on screen. I've only been able to find it on fan sites. Can someone cite a script or do the show's credits perhaps include this name? Is it on the back of a DVD case or something? - perhaps some marketing dweeb in the DVD publishing company made it up, but I guess it'd be "canon" then. 98.223.168.249 (talk) 23:58, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The reference on this Wikipedia page is to a Snope's Web page, which claims:

But actually, the Howells are never mentioned by name in the radio broadcast. According to the episode on DVD, this what the radio announcer actually says:

The Howells are not mentioned at all, and Mrs. Howell / Miss Wentworth is never called "Eunice" at any time during the episode (or any other time during the series). Mrs. Howell's first name is never given as anything other than "Lovey", and the "Eunice" idea is just a myth. I would make the change here myself, but I don't edit Wikipedia anymore. Maybe someone else would be willing to make the corrections here and in other Gilligan's Island articles. SimpsonDG (talk) 23:04, 31 May 2014 (UTC)


 * The radio announcer stated her given name was "Eunice" in the first broadcast. https://www.straightdope.com/21342400/in-em-gilligan-s-island-em-what-was-mrs-howell-s-first-name 24.188.53.120 (talk) 20:03, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
