Hi Arashi, according to an interview with Violet Welles published in Dale Clark's zine, she did come back to write many scripts in the final couple of months of DS. She started out ghostwriting scripts for Gordon Russell who must have been busy with other projects or perhaps just needed some time doing something other than writing DS, and then somehow got on the show's roster as a writer. I'm guessing that if Violet was not mis-remembering her time on the show, her final relay of scripts must have been the same arrangement--Russell got the screen credit but she did the work.
The arrangement is apparently more common in television than the general public are widely aware.
