How long have you been a fan of Adventures in Odyssey?

Ever since the Easter Bunny brought me a basket with Volume 2 in it--the "Case of the Secret Room" captivated me. So...about 10 years maybe?

 

What is your favorite episode of all time?

Oh boy...I LOVE The Case of the Secret Room, but all of the Novacom Saga episodes are ridiculously spell-binding, and "Aloha Oy I, II, & III" were side-splittingly funny. "The Search for Whit I, II, & III" were awesome too, because at one time I wished to be an archaeologist. "A Prayer for George Barclay" reminds me of God's answer to prayer...I think I would also have to say that "Back to Bethlehem I, II, & III" rank among my favorites too. In short, I have a lot of favorites.

 

What is your favorite AIO web site?

This one! I haven't really looked at many others...

 

If you could meet one actor, who would you meet and why? 

One? Um...Melissa Disney, because she did such a great job playing Monica Stone (one of my favorites). But I would also love to meet Katie Leigh and Will Ryan...wait, Jess Harnell! Now that would be amazing. He does such a great job playing Wooton! I think he's really talented. And I'd like to meet the guy who plays Whit, to see if he's really like Whit. But I think I'd want to meet Melissa Disney and Katie Leigh the most.

 

Which character do you resemble the most and why?

Probably a mix of Connie, Donna Barclay, and Mandie Straussberg. I'm curious like Connie...and I don't really know why I am like Donna and Mandie. They just seem like they have some of me in them, or vice versa.

 

Who is your favorite character and why?

Yikes! My favorite regular character would definitely be Whit, because he just seems like the perfect grandfatherly type that you can always tell your troubles to. My favorite duo is Connie and Eugene, because they are extremely hilarious, and complete opposites. I love it when they get into mischief (like in "Suspicious Minds" boy was THAT funny!). A Saga character would be Monica Stone--I love her. Probably because she goes from being bad guy to doing the right thing. I think she represents some of all of us--susceptible to the enemy's disguises. But I think that my all-time favorite would be Mary Barclay. Unfortunately, they moved the Barclays away!!! That was shocking. I hope they bring Mary and Donna back in the near future. Why do I like Mary? Well, probably because she is a supporting wife, and a loving mother. That is what I would want to be like when I "grow up."

 

In your opinion, what do I need to change about my website?

I don't really know...maybe...nah, I can't think of anything. Besides keep up the good work! Add fan fiction.

 

If you could change anything about AIO, what would it be and why? 

I would bring the Barclays back!!! And I would have Monica become a regular character. I think she and Jason should get married.

 

How do you imagine Whit's End and the town of Odyssey?

The best small town. Whit's End is a haven for the kids, a safe place to go and hang out, without having to worry about being hurt or kidnapped or anything, and the first place your parents go when they are looking for you. Of course I would frequent the Imagination Station SO much. That is SUCH a cool invention. Odyssey is a peaceful (sometimes ;) town, where everyone knows one another, and they get along, too. Of course, there are mishaps and excitements (like the Rathbones and Novacom), but that only serves to keep the inhabitants on their toes. In short, Odyssey is my dream hometown. I wish it were real...

 

If you had your own AIO site, what would you put on it?

Fan fiction. Character bios.

 

What is your favorite section of whitsend.org?

I'm not too sure. I don't frequent there very often.

 

What is your favorite section of the Odyssey Scoop, my site?

The interviews and the actor/actress bios/pictures.

 

Do you have any comments or questions?

Do you have fan fiction on this website? If you have, I can't find it. And what is your favorite album?

Our Response: No, we don't have any fan fiction, but that's not to say that there'll never be any. I used to have a favorite album, but I no longer want to play favorites. Nowadays I see the series at an overall basis and love every album.
