"No! No! No!"

Warning: Spoilers
So proclaims Eagle Hill cemetery caretaker Daniel Keyes at his most theatrical, catching Joe and Dr. Guthrue, begging them to not open Laura Murdoch Stockbridge's grave, indicating that opening me's grave could unleash great evil even if opening it means saving others still living. Frank finds out from Carolyn where Joe and Dr. Guthrie are and arrives just as Keyes is dramatically warning them over the dangers ahead, insinuating that he has been around in one form or another since these long-dead people were entombed. The smell of jasmine fills the air indicating a ghostly presence and a shocking twist involving the casket they've removed.

One of the better episodes in this storyline, this is the glue piecing the puzzle together and only one or two pieces are now officially missing. Keyes dominates the episode with his Shakespearean like muttering, and it's too bad that he couldn't have been a recurring player, considering that many of the characters who will pop up are seemingly undead. The seams between Conard Fowkes and Nancy Barrett insinuates more chemistry between them than Fowkes and Alexandra Moltke and Barrett and the two men that she's been involved with, but Fowkes would soon be out of the story for good and onto another one of the dozen soap roles that he had.

Purely entertaining

Episode 179 is one of the most purely entertaining in recent memory. The setting is the crypt, where Guthrie's investigations are curtailed by the entrane of the crazy cemetery keeper who goes into a delightful spiel about how the dead can't be disturbed from their eternal slumber. This guy's acting is way over the top, and the end result is hilariously amusing as a result.
