I'm going to assume that both Alexandra Moltke and TLTKLS were both good enough that if they had been given the other's part we wouldn't have thought a thing of it.

I sincerely wish that Mitch Ryan and Robert Gerringer had been able to remain in their roles. And I wish Moltke could have returned in a different role. Don Briscoe and Joel Crothers both left too soon also. AND, I wish Quentin could have been in it from the get go. I can't imagine how they would have written him into the beginning, with the far different type of show they were doing, but just getting to look at him longer would make it wonderful. Oh, speaking of the beginning, I wish the character of Sam Malloy could have stuck around and been a love interest for Liz.

As much as I adore Julia, it certainly isn't as a doctor. I wouldn't have wanted to be under her care at Wyndcliffe at all, though I might have been holding out my hand for a pill later on.

My vote has to be for Dr. Woodard. I love him, love his looks, his caring, his voice. I only wish they had kept him on much longer.

I'd have to go with:
Quentin and Daphne
Anquelique and Sky Rumson
Vicky and Frank Garner were cute too

I have heard that you only need watch most soaps on Friday, as nothing ever happens the rest of the time. Whereas, with DS, if you only watched one day of the week, you would have no idea what was happening by then!

Maybe it's just me, but I recall Briscoe as being not quite that good when he entered as Tom Jennings. He has always been my nominee for most improved, in a very short time he was putting in excellent performances. I would have have to say that it would be Chris Jennings with Tim Shaw being a close second.

Naomi said that she had little to do, because Abigail insisted on running the house. Which would definately have been Naomi's territory as the lady of the house. But with her tippling, she may have resented it more than she tried to actually do it herself.

Ladies of the day were big on needlework. A necessary task even for the upper classes. And music would have been a part of their lives. The men seem to have been more work oriented and not ones to putter about building things at home! After all, they had Ben for that.

I would love to salute our stay at home moms! I think it wonderful, except that I'm jealous. I stayed at home from the adoption of my oldest son to the point of my divorce. Wish I would win Freelotto so I could do it again.

No, I don't think they did, but I don't think it as highly unlikely as some of the others. I agree she was an innocent without any real idea about what could happen between a man and woman.

What occurred to me more than once during their dalliances, was that Joshua was completely failing this poor girl. His role should have been to protect her from young men who would want to get her alone. Especially from penniless young men who could seduce her and then have to accepted as her bridegroom, when they wouldn't have been otherwise.

While it was not accepted by society, even upper class girls could lose their virginity in ANY time period. It certainly would have been covered up if at all possible. But I think most in the chaperone position were wise enough to realize that prevention was the best route.

Oh dear, am I being WAY too cynical if I suggest that it is the WRITERS who have trouble remembering Barney's powers?

After all Barney became a bat when he didn't even know that he could do so.
