Top Five Answers Curtis Gives When Asked Who He'd Save In A Fire, Hope or His Television

1. You know I've always been a supporter of women's lib. Hope is a strong, independent woman. She doesn't need a man to save her.

2. That's easy. TV sets are replaceable. It's not like we're talking about my tapes or something.

3. Well, insurance would cover the tv, right?

4. Yeah, Hope, sure, of course I'd pick you. Sssssh, I want to see this next part.

5. How big is the fire?

Five times Addison has been lonely.

1. She got home from surgery -- she hadn't slept for days, and all she wanted was a nice cup of chamomile tea and their warm bed. But Derek wasn't there, and she had just come from the hospital, so she knew he wasn't there, either, and she couldn't sleep, could only sit in the living room and worry for hours until he came home and blinked at her in surprise and said he'd gone out with his buddy Jack.

2. She was a bridesmaid at Derek's oldest niece's wedding. Seven of his other nieces and four of his sisters all stuffed into a tiny room watching Ashley model her bridesmaid dress, and not one of them had ever had a conversation with Addison about anything more substantial than the nice weather they'd been having.

3. Mark told her he loved her, and she believed him -- and he was there, he paid attention to her, he saw her, which was something Derek hadn't done in years.

4. Lying next to Derek in bed in the trailer, she felt further away from him than she did when there was a continent between them.

5. At the prom, she gets another glass of punch and looks around for Derek. He's gone, suddenly and unexpectedly. She can't find him anywhere.

5 professions Fraser chose

1. His grandparents were librarians; Fraser grew up surrounded by books. It only made sense that in the end he chose to go into the family business and continue their legacy.

2. He goes to college to qualify as a teacher, and comes back to a small community in the NWT, where he's one of two people responsible for the education of the community. It's hard work, but rewarding.

3. There's a regrettable shortage of doctors in the far north. In the town where he lives, he's the only medical help within several dozen kilometers.

4. He joins the military, deciding the best way to serve his country is honorably, through the armed forces.

5. RCMP.
