I think somebody mentioned before that Linda Bove did talk. I just can't remember exactly when. I don't think it was on "Sesame Street" but on another show or something.

She is able to speak a little bit, she just doesn't much.

Was the person who played Linda actualy deaf?

The reason I ask this is because the other day, as I was watching one of those brief interviews of people / celebrities who's lives have been effected at one point or another by SS, I happened to see a lady (who looked an AWFULL lot like Linda) speaking fluently about how SS had impacted her life. I didn't tune in soon enough to catch the name of who it actually was, but I could swear it was her!:confused:

Linda Bove is actually deaf, yes. Are you sure it wasn't some other lady? Do you remember anything about what she said or what year the interview was done? What did she look like? He looks have changed over the years so that could lead to clues.

Linda was also a director at the Deaf West Theatre in L.A.

I think there is a possibility for Bob's niece to appear on the show again.

what makes you say that? I mean it would be a good idea but did you hear she'll be on again.

No, I just think because she is related to Bob, she has at least a 50% chance of making another appearance. Maybe the same can be said for some other characters relitives like Gordan's father, althow it would be nice if Olivia would visit even thow that is highly unlikely. But that was just more my opinion and not fact.
