after hearing about what a tightwas dc was, i am sure he wouldnt wanna pay an actor just to do the voice over. I noticed something else, that if an actor was in the last scene of the day, but was not going to be in the next days script, they would always make an exit, like eve the other day screaming "someone is gonna die in this house, tonight" can think of a lot of occasions that occured, but today, i noticed stokes was there when barnabas began choking, and the show ended, but wasnt there when they redid the scene the following show.
