Hello, everyone!

These forums have been exceptionally helpful in the past; so, I thought I would pose this non-technical question, regarding The Price is Right.  This is merely a content-based question, submitted out of curiosity.  I have tried web searches and have not been able to find the answer to this puzzling question. 

As a fan of The Roku Channel's The Price is Right:  The Barker Era, I have noticed that in several episodes, during the beginning of the program, at the end of the first panning shot of the audience, this first shot ends on a smiling red-haired woman, usually waving at the camera.  She is usually sitting just to the (stage) right of the contestants' row seats.  Does anyone know who she is/was?  I would assume, given she is there on many occasions and that she does not have a name tag, that she is a member of the staff.  However, I cannot confirm this and have not been able to discover her name.  I would appreciate it if anyone could provide information on the identity of this woman.  Thanks in advance, everyone!

Hello, everyone!

I apologize for my late response.  I believe I have discovered the identity of this woman; unfortunately, I did not anticipate taking this long to update this post.  So, to answer my own post, I believe the identity of this woman is the current Coordinating Producer, Gina Edwards-Nyman.  In The Barker Era episodes currently airing on Roku, she is credited as Gina M. Edwards and/or Gina Edwards.  Again, this was simply a "curiosity question" of mine, wondering about the identity of the individual who usually waves at the initial camera panning shot, in the earlier Roku-based episodes.  The fact that she was there throughout many of these earlier episodes, always was aware of the camera locations, and did not wear a contestant name tag, certainly implied that she was a staff member.  While I do not have a screen capture from the Roku episodes, here is a more recent picture of Ms. Edwards-Nyman.  Thanks, everyone!

I wondered that question myself as I watch it daily with my mother on the Barker Era episodes. Her classic smile and finger wave. 

I too concluded that she had to have been an employee of the show since she always set by contestants row.

Thanks for asking and answering the question.

Hello, Cyc1on!

Thanks for your post; I'm happy to know I am not the only one who wondered about Gina.  All the best to you and to your mother.
