Roxanne may have been Willie's hand puppet.   I'd have liked him to introduce her and press Barnabas to explain to her personally why he needs Willie....

Entire fanfiction series could be written on that premise.

Another possible explanation is that Barnabas caught sight of Roxanne, thought she was pretty (therefore, he loves her), and hopped in and out of the PT room until he was in a PT where Roxanne was more easily available to him. Or, again, maybe the writers just forgot.

I didn't think the parrallel time room worked like that. It seemed like it only gave a path to one single alternate universe -- not like it randomly selected an alternate reality every time you went there. The reason is because B saw the room many times before he entered it, and all of the scenes he observed were from the same alternate world ... I suppose he could've gotten hit a 1 in 100000000 chance ten times in a row but ...

We had no confirmation that 1841PT was the same band as 1970PT, correct? If they aren't the same band, it's entirely possible the PT room just "hangs" on one time band until someone enters that band. Regardless, I was kidding about that.

it might've been very interesting to see if Roxanne was the same as Willie's girlfriend. I'll bet that was the original intention.

Like Jennifer Evans, Maggie's siater in parallel time, Willie's fiance is a character only referred to.  So she could be anybody.  Perhaps they would have done something with her if Karlen hadn't taken a break from the show in the summer of 1970 (to do Daughters of Darkness?).  Wish they had brought that Roxanne on board.   I would have loved to see what her sister Sue Agatha looked like.

And their evil cousin Luanne.

There were a lot of threads that were just left loose around that time period. That was about the same time that Angelique [spoiler]cast the spell on Quentin and Maggie,[/spoiler] and we never saw that resolved, either. Wonder why.

[spoiler]Maybe Willie's Roxanne was supposed to have Willie as her vampire victim already.[/spoiler]

Magnus-- If that were true how did he escape her power when Barnabas asked for his help?

I don't know.  Just wondering.    Maybe lack of proximity, maybe she'd have had to consciously forbid him from helping Barnabas-- he knew he'd be rejoining her later, so no major disloyalty.    I didn't think about it.    I just thought Willie may have been the original Sebastian.

Maybe somebody staked Roxanne, disabling her power over Willie, and then later the stake was removed, bringing Roxanne back to vampire life but not re-enabling her power over Willie.  And after that unlikely turn of events, it should be no trouble at all for somebody to figure out why Willie didn't know Roxanne during the summer of 1970.

The way Willie talked to his Roxanne over the phone didn't come across as vampire victim to vampire - just man in love to woman, so more than likely his Roxanne was a totally different Roxanne than the one who appeared with Sebastian in 1970. Apparently either Willie's devotion to Barnabas outweighed his love for his Roxanne and they broke up, or he continued his relationship with her even though we never had any indication of that or of the coincidence that both Willie and Barnabas were involved with women named Roxanne. This is DS, after all. Weirder things than that have happened.  [ghost_wink]

MB-- I always liked to think that was a fake phone call where Willie was speaking to a dialtone in reality. I couldn't imagine a real couple actually being that annoying on the phone together, I think Willie was trying to be convincing and overdid it  [ghost_smiley]

Oh, some definitely are.  [ghost_wink]  And we have no actual indication within the storyline that the phone call was fake, so minus that we have to assume it was completely real.  [ghost_smiley]

MB did you just imply that we can't assume anything that isn't explicitly made clear on DS?   [ghost_huh] If you've ever attempted to explain the 1840 storyline and how it relates to 1970, then this must be abandoned  [ghost_smiley]
