Title: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: loril54 on May 13, 2007, 10:38:31 PM: Here is a new game. The main room in Seaview reminds me of three different other rooms at least. Two of them are in a different time. Think of the windows. I tried to take a picture but couldn't , a good picture is in 298.

Post by: Lydia on May 14, 2007, 01:05:53 AM: The room is used at the Collinsport Gaol in 1795, when Vicky meets with various people. I know I've noticed it somewhere else, but I can't remember when.

I was trying to think of something for this Games board, and getting nowhere, so it was neat to turn on the computer and discover this new idea. I've got another room in mind that always interests me, but I'll save it for later.

Post by: Gerard on May 14, 2007, 03:32:31 AM: The windows remind me of Angelique's PT1970 bedroom, at least from what I remember what they look like when I was in Seaview way back in the '90's.

Post by: loril54 on May 14, 2007, 03:38:10 AM: The main windows in Algeliques room believe were stained glass? Tjere was also a window seat?? But I think there might be something like the fireplace and the doorway.

Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on May 14, 2007, 04:17:20 AM: I believe Lori is referring to the Seaview set on DS (as in the house Vicki fell in love with and Burke wanted to buy) and not the real Seaview that is used as Collinwood. :)

Oooooh! Oops! Well, in that case, ignore my previous reply. The house Vicki and Burke were interested in reminds me of a cottage my aunt and uncle once owned in northern Wisconsin. I loved staying in that place as a kid. My aunt always fed us a ton of taffy there.

Post by: loril54 on May 14, 2007, 01:28:38 PM: If anyone could help post pictures that would be great. I am not able to take screen shots from the DVD's, is there anyone that wants to help out. Then it could really be a picture game.
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: JosettesMusicBox on May 15, 2007, 06:57:49 AM: Are there any rules about posting a "screen shot"? I know there are rules on this board about posting photographs and materials that are copyrighted... so I'm wondering about the screen shots...

I just use the alt + print screen button and it makes a screen shot of the active window - resulting in the "Real Player" logo and player controls showing... I could crop each picture if necessary, but wouldn't go to all that trouble if it isn't necessary.

Please let us know. Thanks...

Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on May 16, 2007, 05:56:16 PM: While working on today's Robservations and captioning captures, I saw that I have these two captures from Ep #298 that seem to show off the room well:

Thanks, MB. That was Roger's office at the cannery. And I remember it from 1795 sets; does anyone else want to name one or both of them? One of those 1795 rooms, I'm sure, many DSF cousins have wished they could pay a visit to. ;)
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: michael c on May 18, 2007, 12:19:56 AM: i believe the set was used as barnabas' bedroom. ;)

also as someone pointed out it was sort of an antechamber outside of vicki's goal cell.i can't recall a third use during 1795.

in the present the set also appears without explanation as the office of collins family lawer frank garner.

here's my personal favorite...

when burke devlin returns to collinsport in 1966 he takes a suite of rooms at the inn(which maggie sarcastically refers to as the "presedential suite".)

what number room is this?who else resides in this space over the years?
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: Lydia on May 18, 2007, 12:38:05 AM: I think the Seaview room was also used in 1795 as Joshua's office. I haven't seen Roger's office at the cannery. Would it have been the same, 200-year-old room?
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: loril54 on May 18, 2007, 12:43:37 AM: did we ever see Joshua's office there is the room with the swords on the wall, but that is in Collinwood. There are a few present day rooms. One of them had something to do with RD.
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: Lydia on May 18, 2007, 12:46:14 AM: Joshua and Nathan Forbes had a conversation in Joshua's office, sort of late in the 1795 storyline.
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: Brandon Collins on May 20, 2007, 04:55:08 PM: So the running count is as follows:

1966--Seaview, Roger's office
1795--Main Room of the Gaol, Joshus'a office

I don't think this was used as Barnabas' bedroom in 1795, but I could be wrong. I just don't remember both those windows in there. I think they transformed the master bedroom set of the Old House into Barnabas' bedroom. Or maybe that's just where he died.

This place also reminds me of Prof. Stokes house during Present Day.
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: loril54 on May 20, 2007, 07:36:53 PM: Yes in the Adam story line, the doors are right and the windoes Barnabas bed room is the one where Angelique come to Barnabas and askes why he didn't come to her, and then she does her thing.

Yes, it's in the kinescope of Angelique's arrival in 1795. Just before she comes knocking on his door and is rebuffed, Barnabas crosses the room in front of those windows. I was about to post this when I saw your reply, lol.

I'm assuming that this was room 24, and I don't think that you can count on the fingers of one hand the people who resided in it.

If I remember correctly, Maude Browning used it in 1795/6. And if by any chance the presidential suite was named that way because George Washington slept there, then I have to wonder if Martha accompanied him on that trip.
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: Lydia on May 27, 2007, 01:58:55 AM: I'm sort of curious to see just how many people we can come up with who occupied the "presidential suite" in one of its incarnations, so I'm going to add Paul Stoddard and possibly Tony Peterson. It's only "possibly" because I have this idea that his pre-1795 residence was someplace different but that after 1795, Professor Stokes visited him in this room - but it may be that before 1795 I was not as familiar with the room as I later became. Anyway, if Tony Peterson can be confirmed, that brings us to four people - Burke Devlin, Maude Browning, Paul Stoddard, and Tony Peterson. Can we indeed bring the count up past the fingers of one hand? And maybe even make it to the toes?

Ned and Sabrina Stuart stayed in Burke's former room-- #24.

Joe Haskell's apartment outside the Collinsport Inn was, conveniently, also #24.

Post by: michael c on May 27, 2007, 04:48:59 PM: i'm glad to see that i'm not the only aficionado of room twenty four.

they at least had the good sense to reconfigure/refurnish the set with each use although the window treatment is usually the same:loose weave taupe drapes backed by venetian blinds.

sadly it is only during burke's residency that we see the functioning kitchenette.

perhaps to hieghten the character's sense of desperation it is under paul stoddard that the set is at it's most bleak with this dumpy sink inexplicably mounted to the wall.

it's generally bachelor lodgings so i believe that olivia correy/a.k.a.amanda harris is it's only female occupant.the set is pretty austere so they try to "femenize" it with ferns and drapes and perhaps in a nod to the character's vanity several framed photographs of ms.correy herself!

i had forgotten that maude browning and ned stuart resided there as well.is there anyone else?
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: michael c on May 27, 2007, 04:56:09 PM: oops!

i suppose if maude browning was there then olivia correy was not it's only female resident. :-[

i don't remember that character having a home.i thought she was just one of those dockside doxies barnabas hooks up with in 1795.
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on May 27, 2007, 05:18:29 PM: Burke's, Tony's and Joe's rooms were very different from the Seaview set. Jeff's room was similar, though.
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: loril54 on May 27, 2007, 07:46:14 PM: I think we are talking abot 2 different rooms, one the seaview, and the other the presidential suite. Maybe we need a picture of the presidential suite. I think there were only two to three hospital rooms, the same with the collinsport inn. You wonder how much Collinsport could support.

Maude had dealings with Nathan Forbes as well as with Barnabas. I don't remember exactly why she was visited in her room (except that it was not in the pursuit of her chosen profession) and I can't remember which of the two gentlemen did the visiting, or if it was both of them, separately, but I'm pretty sure that visiting was done.

Both Nathan and Barnabas visited Maude separately in her room. I do believe Ben also paid a visit there to do a bit of searching.

Post by: loril54 on June 11, 2007, 05:58:34 PM: I was thinking while watching the episodes 316-320. Could the tower room be the same set that they used for Davids room. Think of the windows and the shape. I must have thing for the windows. They might change the stain glass in the future.

I'd be willing to bet his crystal ball that at least most of David's room is there.

The 2nd floor of the Carey Mansion/Seaview has a circular bedroom inside its tower. I think its windows are its best feature, and upon entering, you can't help but be reminded of David's room. (The first time I saw it, everyone in my group [Nancybe, Nicky, Gothick, Selby D. Pearson, PostCool1, etc.] said they'd want that bedroom if given the choice.) The upper floor of the tower, on the other hand, was never a sleeping room until recent years-- it was originally used for storage, then was locked up for years, and has now been converted to a dorm room for Salve Regina students.

Anyway, I think there's a scene in the show that uses the tower as an establishing shot before cutting to the action inside of David's room, as if David's room and the tower room are the same. But of course just because these sets share the same windows doesn't mean they're the same room, though I believe David's bedroom at Collinwood is directly below the tower room.
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: michael c on July 17, 2007, 12:15:48 AM: not really a room so much as the location of a room.

during the adam plot there is an episode where he breaks into vicki's room to strangle her.they show him standing outside vicki's window peering in before he enters.

but unless vicki was suddenly demoted to downstairs servants quarters it had been very clearly established that her room was on the second floor with the rest of the family bedrooms.

sloppy!
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: CastleBee on July 17, 2007, 07:41:14 PM: This is a bit OT but, since we're talking sets/rooms etc...does it ever seem to anyone that the sets seemed eerily more realistic in the B&W eps? I'm specifically thinking of a shot from one of the bedrooms at Collinwood where you could see the hall which included a window and a table with a lamp or something like that. There was just something about the way it was lit - really made you feel you were there you know? I could easily imagine walking out the door of that room and down one of the long dark hallways. I think it may have been during a scene in Liz's room and I can only recall seeing that angle used once.
Title: Re: Here is a new game, what room is this, and what else
Post by: arashi on July 18, 2007, 04:51:35 AM: I do agree about the sets appearing more eerily realistic in the B&W episodes. Perhaps because you weren't being overwhelmed by the garish color schemes!

I've always assumed (I know - a dangerous thing :D) that they expected the audience to presume Adam had climbed up to Vicki's room. It wouldn't have been the first time a character had climbed up to a bedroom. And, well, Adam did have that super strength, so it would have been even easier for him. ;)
