About Dr.Green[]
In his appearance in "Santa Goes Downtown", Dr. Green, a psychiatrist at Winwood Psychiatric Hospital, is sent to retreive a man named John Stevens (Jeff Corey), who had been wandering around Manhattan in a red flannel suit and cap claiming to be the real life "Santa Claus". Dr. Green was directed to Harry's courtroom, as the man, Stevens, or Santa, was picked up by police at a local department store after hours with other "derelicts".
Turns out the Dr. Green reveals that "Santa", or Mr. Stevens, always escapes from the hospital around every early December, only to reappear around early or mid-February.
