Hey gang,
I'm sure that we all sat on the edge of our collective seats today, wondering what Roxanne's earth-shattering, first words might be. Here are a few last-second ideas that came to me as the apple-of-Claude North's-eye was about to speak:
1. "Is the end-of-summer-sale at Brewster's Department Store still going on by any chance?"
2. "I'm extremely sorry, Barnabas. Of course, I couldn't tell you this myself before today. But, you see, I'm saving myself for Bobby Sherman."
(Note on Bobby Sherman: The so-called Justin Timberlake of the early 1970s, for all of you Dark Shadows fans out there, who were not, yet, a gleam in your fathers' eyes.)
3. "Hey, what's new with Erica Kane on 'All My Children'?"
4. "This bullet-bra is absolutely killing me!"
5. "Claude, when you told me the happy news that you wanted me to meet your family, I never thought that you meant the ones who are buried in Eagle Hill Cemetery!"
