Carrie Stokes

[A.I.Collins]

 Hey Guys...

  Just wondering, Is Carrie Stokes living in the cottage all by herself?..how old is she supposed to be?....does she not have a parent or guardian in Parallel time?

She mentioned being grateful to the Collins family for allowing her and her father to live in the gatehouse.

I did hear Carrie mention how happy she was that she and her father were allowed to live in the coach house..
thus although he is not seen Carrie is not without adult supervision..  alas I would gladly give up Carrie to have seen more Tad if he existed in PT.

 Hey there!

   Thanks. I must have missed Carrie saying the line that confirmed her adult supervision. Just imagine if she were living in that cottage all by herself.She could have "way cool!" sleepovers.


Just a thought,

I thought it was strange that the young Ms. Stokes was associating with the adults such as Quentin and Gabriel. *sheds tear* It was just a month a two or ago when she playing with Tad...

[ProfStokes]

It does seem odd to me that Carrie should be alone at the cottage without a chaperone or any adult supervision whatsoever.  Would a proper young lady of the 1840's be permitted to live under such circumstances?  Or are we to believe that customs are different in parallel time?

Because, as we mentioned during the 1840 storyline, Kathy Cody was under contract and they were obligated to use her...

Truthfully, I think Carrie is used quite efficiently in this storyline, as opposed to how she simply seemed to flit around in 1840. (But having one's costar decide that he doesn't really want to take part will do that to you.)

I thought that was someone's guess not known fact.

I agree with this. Carrie didn't seem to have any purpose during 1840, and she just seemed to pop up every once in awhile. Now she actually has some sort of purpose.

I also have to say that I've never had any problem with Kathy Cody or her characters. While she is far from my favorite actress (I think Denise Nickerson was better than her), I don't think she's one of the worst either. *shrugs* While I didn't like it when there was a Hallie overdose during the summer of 1970, I don't mind her when she just pops up every once in awhile.

Definitely fact.

Source/Reference?

Perhaps a better question might be, considering it's a well known fact that in the daytime/soap industry it's standard practice for actors who are hired to play major, continuing roles (i.e. Hallie/Carrie) to be signed to contracts lasting anywhere from a year to five years, why would you doubt, even for a moment, that Kathy Cody was under contract? 

[Julia99]

because she wasn't really used that much. . .it seems like they started on an idea and then dropped it. . hence she could've been a non-contract player.  That was also done in the day, not so much now.
