Married mortal man, Darrin's dad. Remember what Endora says to Sam and Darrin, that Phyllis wants to give her her husband. What am I going to do with him? 🙂 This episode, A NICE LITTLE DINNER PARTY, also looks at what may happen to some elderly people after retirement.

[@iamemjarrobinson8713]

I think that Endora's dislike for mortals primarily extends from Darrin's overbearing attitude. This wasn't the only time Endora associated with Frank Stevens and took to him. In later episodes he'd flatter her with compliments and she'd gush like a school girl. I think its proof that Endora really just didn't like Darrin. Other mortals were OK if they were polite.

[@michaell3660]

Brilliant 👏👍🌟

[@hhhggg4687]

I think if Darren had allowed Samantha to use her witchcraft, she may have gotten along with him better. But, there is a difference between being friendly with a mortal , and marrying one. I think Endora would rather have had Samantha marry a warlock. Do it she would have approved any mortal married to her daughter

My GUESS would be, Mrs, Stevens came from money and a very cultured background, which Frank was attracted to right off. His background was probably more middle class, whereas, Mrs. Stevens came from high society. She married "down" because he swept her off her feet at a dance with his superior dancing skills and then got her pregnant, would be my guess (if this were real life, that is).
