The AIO world is abuzz! Davey Holcumb has mysteriously disappeared from the world! He made a brief cameo in Stars in Our Eyes, but he was an adult! Talk about how angry you are that Davey Holcumb has not returned in this awesome topic!

Well, we know he is in Hollywood, but he could have made another cameo in The Best Small Town. I'm surprised they never used him any more as a kid.

I know. He was the main character of the very first episode, (Well, Whit was the main character. He was a secondary character.) but they never used him after that. Isn't it hard to imagine that Whit didn't even know who Connie was for the first five episodes? I can't imagine Whit's End without Connie!

Yeah, that's kind of the point of this topic. It's just pointless. No one knows what'll happen to Davey! They just ended his character after the first episode! Have you noticed that they did that a lot in the early days? Craig Moorhead and Freddy from The Life of the Party never returned again. There are a lot of other examples in the first three volumes or so. I guess Odyssey was still trying to get into one group of kids.

Remember Lightning Livingstone? He was a good character, but he was only in two episodes, and one of those he said only one or two lines.

I know! They should bring him back! Didn't they use the actor who played him a few other times after that?

Actually, I checked on that just a few days ago on the AIOWiki. They said no, he didn't.

I don't think Davey is coming back. So nothing will happen to him I believe.

Okay, same here. This whole topic is kind of a joke.

I can't say as I'm all that huge a fan of Davey Holcumb. As he wasn't used much, unjust though it was, he was never developed into a very interesting, likeable character. But I DO agree he's an important part of Odyssey's history. If there was any justice in the world, Davey would come back! However, in the beginning, Odyssey did tend to have kid-stars for one show, with one specific problem solved in a show, and then ditch him/her. EG: The Day After Christmas, Nothing to Fear, so on and so forth.

Yes, I would think that's because they were still experimenting with new characters, trying to find kids that would be perfect for the rest of the series. So, in Album 1, they tried a million different kids, none of which were very successful (that's one of the reasons why it's not one of my favorite albums) and then they got The Barcalys and Jack and Lucy, and used those kids for quite a while. As for Davey, his cameo in Stars In Our Eyes was just something to make the fans nostalgic. He's not coming back.

This is an old topic, but I shall cast my opinion neverthelesss-- which would have to be that I wasn't a very big of a fan of Davey in the first place, so its not a hug deal to me that he is now a bit of history, I guess you could say. I'm also in agreement with Pound Foolish, he is definitely a big part of AiO history and I still listen to those older episodes starring Davey with fondness. It's fun to go back and listen to episodes with those older characters at times. I'm so wrapped up with the newer characters and the new episodes, that sometimes I forget about the kids like Davey and such from the beginning of AiO times.=)

Well, he was really only a kid in one episode, and honestly, I didn't find him to be too likeable or unique.
