Well, it's obvious who I would vote for.  Of course, Rachel Drummond would come in a very close second.  She so reminds me of my first obvious vote.

I always tape it because I usually don't have the time to watch it when it airs.  However, I don't save 'em - after I watch 'em, I reset the VCR and  tape the next batch.

I think Joshua was just too stubborn to die.

It's a tough one between Ben and Willie.  But I think it would hafta be Willie, since he can also cook.

Sign me up for a subscription, Ringo!  Do we get anything extra, like the way Entertainment Weekly gives you those CD collections of music from the Fabulous 80's?

Not sure why, Joey, but one common thing for many of the DS performers was that they often did other things while on the series, whether it was a play, some more TV work, a film, whatever, so they (or should I say their character) would suddenly be gone somewhere.  Undoubtedly, that's what happened to David Ford.  Probably doing a commercial for Tide of Marlboro or something.  Joan Bennett was the one who was always busy with other projects, hence her frequent and long absences.  They were always sticking her in a hospital or institution (like during the Laura and the 1897 storylines), or elsewhere, but don't wanna say that as it would be too much of a spoiler.  My favorite was the Parallel Time plot when so many of the performers had to take a leave to do House of Dark Shadows.  Seemed that they all had relatives to visit, even the Danverish Hoffman.  Wasn't she spending time with her sister?  I just can't imagine that.  

"Well, sis, whatchya been up to back at that clunky old mansion?"  

"Oh, the usual, cleaning, planning menus, bringing my evil mistress back from the dead."  

"Nothing new or interesting then?"  

"Nope."

"Well, let's play some cribbage.  Say, did you hear about Cousin Mathilda?  Seems she..."

Testing!  Testing!  Just seeing to make sure I'm still signed on since I got that notice, too.  Actually, I thought ya had caught me in the act - I'm actually an undercover spy from an "The Edge of Night" message board sent here for nefarious purposes!

quote from Bob_the_Bartender:

>>You can call me Mooney, and you can call me Rooney, but don't you call me Looney!<<

And now we've got another DS consistency problem, Bob.  Just how is Mooney the Bartender related to Mr. Mooney, the cheapskate banker who, almost two-hundred years in the future, will manage Lucy Carmichael's accounts?  They never really do explain it.

quote from RingoCollins:

>>Do I hear a game show freak here?  All you that remember What's My Line?, I've Got A Secret, and [the worst of all] Beat the Clock [puke] <<

Oh, wax me nostalgic, Ringo!  We grew up watching those shows, especially the prime-time ones like I've Got a Secret, What's My Line and - of course - To Tell the Truth.  Those would be no more missed than such things as Gunsmoke, Bonanza and The Lawrence Welk Show (double-puke, except on the one show where the organ guy played "Quentin's Theme").  And how can anyone forget that daytime classic:  Queen for a Day.  Some maudlin housewife competing with other maudlin housewives, telling tragic stories of their house being blown away in the Great Storm of '63, while the ill and elderly in-laws moved in and to top it off, the dog got pregnant.   So everyone in the audience decided who had the saddest tale to tell, and in return she got to wear the crown, ermine cape, sit on a throne, and take home an electric skillet.  Couldn't you see Elizabeth appearing on it?  "I thought I murdered my husband and had him buried in the cellar for the past 18 years and never left the house, only to find it wasn't true, while my brother and his emotionally disturbed son moved in and my sister-in-law who's a supernatural creature tried to fry my nephew and then an ancestor returned from the dead turning everyone into a blood bank."  She'd STILL lose to Mrs. Macfarlan from Des Moines who missed going to her weekly girls' bridge party when the clutch on her car burned out.

quote  from Ben:

>>Then, Gerard, right after that fatal reference, we'd see the actors looking up, visibly startled by those peppy Herb Alpert horns (the way the jarring organ music used to startle the actors on Carol Burnett's soap-spoof, "As the Stomach Turns"), as we cut to a commerical for Ms. Cleo.<<

Hee-Hee, Ben!  And then, a year later, we see Barnabas and Josette sitting in a booth, Bob Ubanks there, Josette holding the upside-down poster-boards in her lap, Bob Ubanks asking:  "Husbands, what did your wives say was your favorite thing to do during the daytime?", Josette giving Barnabas her if-you-don't-get-THIS-one-right-I'll-drive-the-stake-through-your-heart-myself-we're-down-by-twenty-points-and-I-WANT-that-washer-and-dryer-chosen-just-for-us look.

Yeah, I'm not a believer in the supernatural either.  There are far more scary things out there.  Did you ever go into Walmart just to buy some toothpaste on December 24th?  Now that's scary.  I'm still in therapy over it.

That was undoubtedly a blooper of sorts, but they did have the love-birds initially meeting in various other places, like France (where Josette originally was said to have come from, until they changed it to Martinique).  I'm sure if we waited long enough, mention would've been made of them first connecting on The Dating Game.

I'd travel to the future (from 1967/68 to 1995), do some research into what becomes a stockmarket monster (like Microsoft), return back to 67/68, and start investing.  Oh, was I suppose to do the time travel thing to prevent some tragedy from happening, and not for cleaning up?  Oh, well - I'll leave that to Barnabas and Julia.
