Show Notes

It's another e-motion sickness Love Boat re-watch with Franco and Guest passengers Allison Baker and Gabriel Hardman

In this episode, identical twins Ellen and Helen Edwards, both played by Diana Canova, have only one ticket and carefully take turns leaving their cabin, using an alarm wristwatch to keep their scheme straight, which leads to plenty of confusion for Doc, played by Bernie Kopell, as Helen comes on to him while Ellen repeatedly spurns him, leaving Doc completely baffled by her constantly changing attitude.

Meanwhile, Julie, played by Lauren Tewes, is reunited with an old heartthrob, played by David Hedison, who is every bit as charming as she remembers, although when she knew him before he was married, giving their reunion a complicated romantic edge.

And in the third story, Ray Bolger and Harriet Nelson play a delightful elderly couple who were married aboard the Titanic and survived, prompting Gopher, played by Fred Grandy, to repeat an old wives’ tale that Titanic survivors bring bad luck, a superstition that suddenly seems possible when strange things begin happening to members of the crew one by one.
