WHO IS AT THE SWITCHBOARD???? The place is empty!
Jerimiah (I saw this spelling once)
Miss Hopewell's big grin is a bit creepy. Later as she was doing that dictation scene, I decided that Elizabeth Wilson is just milking her part. Where else have I seen her? everywhere perhaps? "The Fugitive" pops into my head.
1stly i think she was either i her late 40's or early 50's when the show started.Carolyn was 17 and the actress was 22.
I've absorbed the message from other Watchers that Vicky hasn't much to lose by acting in a way that could get her fired because she doesn't really care about the Collinwood job anyway. I still have problems with it, because I'd rather have "Left of my own accord" on my resume than "Fired". Yes, I know, this job wouldn't be going on her resume at all. But that's the way I think. I guess I'm not heroine material.Just to clarify what I said about that (I would never dream of arguing with you, Lydia ), it's not that I think Vicki was consciously thinking, "I could get fired, but it'll be worth it"-- *I* was the one considering that it was the worst that could happen, and I'm sorry for not being clear about that. Vicki may have thought this subconsciously, but we do see that she almost quit the job herself but decided, "If I go, then all I'll have is this [note]" and so she sought Matthew out; we see evidence of an obsession with learning about her past that drives her to keep pushing for answers from the people who are telling her to butt out, and we see indications of what Art Wallace called her "fierce core of determination." Yes, the outline in Wallace's story bible was only meant as a guideline, but it's the motivations he created for his characters that ring true, at least in the early eps, because Wallace's writing was all about understanding what drives them.
When Elizabeth came down to the basement and found Matthew Morgan and Vicky, Vicky told her, "I was trying to explain!" She wasn't. She was just saying, "You're hurting me!" and stuff like that.
