Where did Dan and Johnny live?


We've seen Johnny sleeping at the back room of the office on occasion, but never where Dan lived. When Dan was shot in Old Stefano, at the end he appeared to be recovering at Lily's place.

Since Johnny worked for Mrs. Lemp before becoming the Deputy, where did he live?

It was never revealed. They would sleep in the jail if they had a prisoner, but they always talked about going home. However, they never showed where home was.

It's a drama -- Think about it. I think it would not have added to the show if they'd shown Marshal Dan trudging home to the li'l woman -- cheatin' on Miss Lily -- and drunk and henpecked to boot... Putting an apron on to do the dishes, putting the cat out before bed...

This is not how scriptwriters earn their money, unless it's a soap opera.
