Facts about Days couples

I'm still in the process of adding links for photo galleries, histories and links to other pages for each couple. The galleries will appear slowly as I scan in new pics. I've provided links to each couple's history where available. If you know of a history already online for one of the couples that doesn't have a link, or you are willing to write one, please email me. The couples are approximately organized in order of the beginning of each relationship.

Susan and Edmund

--How they met: 01/08/98--Susan stepped into a pub owned by Violet Crumb in England. Later, Violet's son Edmund came stumbling into the pub, laden down with a carton full of Susan's purchases. His mother had commandeered him to help Susan carry them home. Of course, he was so clumsy and nearsighted that he wound up dropping all the merchandise and knocking Susan down in the process, too. Her eyeglasses -- and his -- fell off simultaneously. Talk about kismet. When Susan and Edmund readjusted their frames and finally gazed at each other, it was almost like Leonardo DiCaprio's first glimpse of Kate Winslet in "Titanic" (only a bit sappier, dearie).
--Special Events: They went into the countryside on Edmund's motorcycle and enjoyed a wonderful day there.

She invited Kate and Victor and while there, Kate met Nicholas, who walked over to her and started a conversation about what a beautiful NURSE she was...then telling her that Victor's recovery could not be because of Kate since he had heard that Kate was a real "witch."
