I list three occasions on the show when characters are addressed by the name of the actor who plays them.

Episode 1008: This Terrible Truth
I look back at Burke Devlin, and propose we read his relationship with Roger Collins as a case of repressed homosexuality.
Episode 1009: The Great Train Robbery
I mention some new music.
Episode 1010: The Larry Parts
Why Burke Devlin had to go.
Episode 1011: The Cast Came Back
I complain about the misogyny in this episode.
Episode 1017: The Struggle
Some talk about how different kinds of Christians might be expected to react differently to certain stories.
Episode 1018: Diagnosis Murder
I notice a bit of trivia that Danny Horn had overlooked, he responds by calling me “brilliant.” Be still my heart!
Episode 1019: Peer at a Prop
Some things I like about “Meet Another Angelique” (a.k.a. 1970 Parallel Time.)
Episode 1020: To Serve Man
Two comments from me this time. In the one linked above, I praise Elizabeth Eis and Kathryn Leigh Scott for playing romantic scenes so effectively that they make Jonathan Frid seem sexy. In the second, I point out that the television set in Buffie’s room is the first one we’ve seen in the entire series, and suggest that the lingering closeup it gets here is a sign of Buffie’s desperate loneliness.
Episode 1021: Five Things
I notice some interesting things about the closing credits.
