I hope someone remembers because now I am curious as hell. Not only do I not remember, I always confuse DE with Claude North & Randell Drew, in my mind. I've only seen the complete series once - in the 90s.
Who's the guy/ghost that appears and can't talk and makes funny faces?That description covers Gerard, whose ghost, thanks to his facial expressions and the lighting, bears a striking resemblance to an Oompa-Loompa. ;D But I doubt that's who you meant.
I always wondered about that Daemon Edwards thing, too. First, all this build up, and then nothing. I wonder if it was suppose to be some pivotal plot point, but as the writers went on, fleshing things out - well, actually stalling until the other regular cast members returned - they decided to take things in a different direction and just forgot about what they were going to do with him.
Methinks that since at the end of 1970PT Quentin reveals that he [spoiler]never loved Angelique in the first place, but was trapped in the relationship by her[/spoiler] that Dameon Edwards was an affair that Angelique had, one of her many apparently. Since Dameon was Quentin's best friend, it's my guess that he knew FOR SURE that he and Angelique were fooling around, while with all the others he probably only had a suspicion and not hard evidence, i.e. seeing them together, or being told directly from the horses mouth. So, in order to keep Quentin quiet and to keep him with her, Angelique had Bruno and Trask kill Edwards so that she would just deny the story and Quentin couldn't file for divorce because he wouldn't be able to guilt Dameon into admitting what had happened.
This is all just pure speculation on my part.
[spoiler]But what I want to know is the backstory which I think is never given, why did she, Bruno and Trask murder him in the first place?[/spoiler]

Actually, it's more than just speculation that Dameon and Ang had had an affair. Ang admits as much in Ep #1006 and it's explained that [spoiler]she got Trask and Bruno to take care of him for her because he was becoming too persistent in his, uh, affections.[/spoiler]
Well I had to go plug in my DVD and watch this and sure enough!
Thanks MB.
even now i'm drawing a complete blank on the details.
The idea of someone roaming the halls of Collinwood for all eternity trapped in an Ohrbach's leisure suit is, in and of itself, pretty damn funny.[stfl]
It seems more of a yellow - or perhaps a yellow-orange.
Either way, it's classic '70s! :D
The early 70's were my college years.....and I'd go back for a visit in a heartbeat. ;)
I'd make sure the eventual rise of Internet Explorer as the dominant browser would never turn out the way it did.And what method would you use? I Ching? Voodoo? Black mass?
If there ever is another DS revival, they could do a storyline where the heroes have to go back in time to the seventies. The plot can start in present time with Collinwood being haunted by the melody of "Precious and Few." Now that would drive everyone out of the Great House faster than Quentin's ghost.
How anyone living in this decade would think time travel was needed to find terrible music is beyond me. I think the same scenario would make far more sense in reverse.
I think they would go back in time in order to answer the question on everyone's mind: Did we really dress like that?
