[Etta Sue craves the witch's rampionThis is Etta Sue, the wife of Martin. She has a real knack for gardening, and spends a lot of time experimenting with different kinds of seeds, treatments and the like. This results in nice, succulent vegetables -- just right for my dinner table!

Quotes: "We never see most of our friends anymore because they are so busy raising children. When they say, 'Why, my daughter made the honor roll at school,' all I can answer with is, 'Have you seen how plump my eggplant is this year?' I can only be so proud of an eggplant, Martin."

"I am so hungry for rampion. It's all I want. No other food is appealing. If I don't have some rampion soon, I feel like I will starve!"

"Someday we will return and make that Miranda pay for all of the sadness she has caused!"

Notes: Etta Sue was played by BBT veteran Liana Maria Reda (above, with Miranda and Martin).

One day in rehearsal, Liana started rolling her r's whenever she said, "rampion". In no time at all, everyone in the cast began to pronounce it that way. (Since then, we've slipped in a reference to rampion in just about every show, because it's such a fun word to say!)
