Mamyalynne

They do, I think you C&P'd the theme earlier today.

Lie-in King

Each solution includes a repeated letter, not referred to in its clue's wordplay.These letters in 52 of the solutions cover the full alphabet (A to Z) twice: once separately, as in EvEry, and once as a double letter, as in wEEk. The solutions to the other six asterisked clues require a third appearance of the letters from the word TALKER.
