Henry Blakes' wife Mildred and Lorraine

[38 Special]

In early episodes Henry Blake referred to his wife as Mildred. Later,
he called her Lorraine. Has anybody else noticed this? Also, Why the
name change for a character who was never seen?

Because they didn't remember (or know) the character had been referred
to by name before.

Yeah, at least as far back as 1979 when the earlier episodes were first
shown in syndication.

Did you also notice that Harry Morgan was once a general, but went
crazy, got demoted to colonel, went to medical school, and came back
under an assumed name?

She is seen, she's in the home movie Henry gets and watches with
Hawkeye, Trapper and Radar. I forget which episode, one of the Dear
Dad episodes I think.

The question has been raised several times. Not sure what the answer was,
except simple oversight. Wish LG was alive to comment.

...or Blake has been seeing Potter's wife on the side. His wife was also
Mildred. :)

Wiseguy is correct. They did not remember names and the like from week to
week. Or script to script.
Mildred, at that time, was a reference to Larry Gelbart's cousin, Mildred.

And when they were writing season 1 eps they had no idea people would be
picking them apart 40 years later.

Season 3 Ep 11
Adams Ribs has Trapper John calling his wife in the states to handle a pick up of ribs that Hawkeye ordered. During the call He referred to her as 'Mildred'. Did the writers do this purposefully to get the attention of us loyal fans??

Trapper did not call his wife in Adams Ribs..
, Trapper remembered a woman named Mildred Feeny with whom he had a "three-
night stand" years ago and calls her to ask for help. Mildred comes through
for Trapper.


the writers did mess up Henry's wifes name
At first, Henry Blake's wife's name was Mildred, then it was changed to
Lorraine in later episodes

[guerrero...@gmail.com]

Actually they did show her. On the episode when she sent a video of his daughters bday
