QUESTION 10-Originally intended to make a single episode appearance, Helen Crump ended up appearing 66 times and became Andy's girlfriend. What was her occupation on the show?

Correct Incorrect The writers chose to give Helen Crump her "unpleasant-sounding" name with the assumption that she would appear only once. However, the producers grew fond of Aneta Corsaut's performance and decided to extend her character, ultimately making her a permanent addition to the show. Helen worked as a teacher, and she was often referred to as "old lady Crump" by Opie and his friends.
