Gee, I made Ziti last night and finished the last of it tonight.

And you didn't save any for me?  Eek!

Re: Sopranos, I don't think MB is missing anything.  Count me among the Italian-Americans that despise the show and wish it would go away. :-/

Re: Angel, I thought those plot twists were pretty shocking too, scout75, though I'm not as big a watcher of that show since Darla was staked.

When the House of Dark Shadows was being made, the actors were provided meals at the "honey wagon" as it was called.

I went with my son's class when they visited a local shoot for 7th Heaven (the little girl was their classmate), and while being showed around someone explained where the term "honey wagon" came from.  Ewwww.

Does anyone know how it works for lunch on a tv show set? I know in movies they cater it for the whole crew, which is a pretty nice perk for the workers. Do they do that on a tv show? I can just see the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that DC would generously provide!

TV shows have a catering truck for location shoots.  Same thing on the sets, except for the large studios which have cafeterias.

I have no idea how lunch was handled on the DS set, but your scenario wouldn't surprise me at all.

Sarah,

Will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

The rose in your signature is now yellow as a symbol of friendship and to let you know we're thinking of you.

Luv,  Midnite

At this point, Vicki should have said, "I'll stop thinking about Jeff when you stop thinking about being buried alive."

Note to self:  Add ProfStokes to the list of cousins whose messages I will not read while I'm taking a drink.

Hmmm - knowing how Joss operates, I'm not quite sure how I should interpret that remark.

Oh, it was totally meant as a compliment.  Creating suspense-- it's a talent.

Unless I'm mistaken (which I may well be) the character was introduced post 1795 as "T. Eliot Stokes." I have heard Julia refer to him as and call him Eliot but I have not heard anyone mention the name "Timothy."

His counterpart in parallel time, when we get there, is called Timothy Stokes, father of Alexis and Angelique. That is the only time I recall anyone using the name Timothy.

The first time we see the regular-time character (when he comes to Collinwood to make an offer on Angelique's painting), Vicki introduces him to Barnabas and then again to Roger as Professor Timothy Stokes.  And he tells Angelique his name is Timothy Stokes when he tries to stop the dream curse, but that may have been the last time.
