That whole arc was one of the better ones in EoN's entire run. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI just read the Melanie Smith interview and enjoyed it. Thanks WLS. Ms. Smith was a great Emily Stewart. I love Kelly Menighan-Hensley as an actress but she never received the excellent writing Melanie Smith received in the role, so Emily was largely unlikeable for me.
ReplyDeletewow! You guys remembered Kellie Waymire! *smile* She was a talented hilarious actress! And still missed... *cheers Kellie*
