[spoiler]Saturday's quote:
Ep #6 (1966) - Vicki - 'I mean, if she's been waiting for him all these years, hoping he'll come back, he MUST have been quite a man.'
From "#0005/0006: Robservations 05/21/01: Vicki Makes Her Decision"
You're very fond of Mrs. Stoddard, aren't you? she asks. A-yuh, he says, sounding like a Maine man. You've know her for a long time, says Vicki. Another assenting A-yuh from Matthew. And her husband, did you know him? asks Vicki. Why should you be asking about him? Matthew asks. Vicki says she heard the story of how he left her 18 years ago and how she stayed here on the hill ever since--and I wondered what kind of a man he was--if she's been waiting for him all these years, hoping he'll come back...he must have been quite a man. I don't know nothing about him, says Matthew, surly, but I do know Mrs. Stoddard's a great lady--and don't you forget it! I think she's very nice, says Vicki.

The Robservations leaves out the very beginning of the quote - but again, it references the rest quite well. And as we'll learn down the line, Paul Stoddard was indeed "quite a man," though certainly not exactly in the way Vicki meant. Though of course, Vicki was judging off of the lie to explain why Liz hadn't left Collinwood for 18 years...
And another thing that's purely coincidental is the timing of this quote and the previous year's. This time's (Vicki - 'I mean, if she's been waiting for him all these years, hoping he'll come back, he MUST have been quite a man) is from Matthew's first ep and May 1, 2020's (Matthew - 'Voices callin' ta me--you heard 'em, you MUST of!) is from one of his last eps...
