Note

(1) An incoherence remains concerning Hal Clark's death year. It is said in an episode of 1988 that Hal died in 1958. However, Pamela Capwell, his killer, had already left Santa Barbara for two years.
By rebound, there remains a doubt as for Dr. Scott Clark's birth year : if it is well said that he was five years old when Hal died, can we affirm that he was born in 1963 ?
