I don't think Louise Gold helped out with the Mirinda Craver puppet. Where did that come from? David French (talk) 04:32, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

The Red Book blog post cited on the page. What makes you think she didn't work on the ads? - Shane latest?cb=20200820192427 (talk) 04:49, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
Yeah, it's cited right after the sentence. The full Red Book quote: "Four different puppeteers operated the 'Craver:' Louise Gold, a British Muppet Show cast member; Bob Payne, principal performer in the commercials who had appeared with Jim as far back as Sam and Friends; Dave Holman, a producer; and Faz Fazakas, known best for rigging mechanical devices to manipulate smaller puppets or puppet parts such as eyes." So that's a pretty solid source, I should think. -- Andrew Emoji-droolAdminsig 05:05, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
The dates as presented on the character page did make me question if the Red Book blog made a mistake. Gold didn't join the Muppets until 1977 and the Mirinda Craver article previously only had his debut date as 1975. I added this to help clear up any confusion; clearly, Gold worked on the later commercials. —Scott latest?cb=20200820192427 (talk) 12:13, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
