Before we move on to Saturday's quote I have to say that Ep #283 is a perfect example of why I dislike Anthony George's Burke - the ways he browbeats Vicki is unconscionable. Sure, Burke is supposed to be a Type A personality and times have changed since the '60s but the changes in him once Antony George takes over the role definitely ruin the character more and more as time goes on. Mitch Ryan's Burke never treated Vicki like Anthony George's Burke does. And even though Vicki does stand up to him in a least one instance (when he investigates Barnabas), it doesn't make up for the rest. Malcolm Marmorstein, Ron Sproat and Joe Caldwell were doing most of the writing of the show at this time and they did Burke no favors. It's almost like they knew the character was going to be written out so they ruined him as much as possible so the audience wouldn't miss him as much once he'd be gone. If so, they accomplished their job in spades because in many of the eps during this period all I ever want to do is give Burke a good smack upside the head.
