Love and Laughter: After eight months as GUIDING LIGHT's libido-less Edmund, David Andrew Macdonald has come up with a theory: "Edmund's almost like STAR TREK's Mr. Spock," he tells Digest Online. "He seems to function as pure intellect, which makes him seem almost asexual." The actor hopes that GL's scribes "will set Edmund up with a woman who can make him giggle"--someone not unlike Macdonald's own wife of six years, Nikki. When Nikki helps her hubby learn his dialogue, he laughs, "She'll change the lines to bring out every possible double-entendre, and all of a sudden, the scene gets very raunchy!" Not everyone finds his spouse amusing, though. "She works for the Citizens Budget Commission, which is the oldest fiscal watchdog group in the country," reports the proud Macdonald. "When you hear [New York City Mayor Rudolph] Giuliani screaming, 'Those dilettantes are trying to bring down the city,' it's usually them!"
