Great to see our Julia again! Is it just me or do the directors and/or writers have Grayson playing her feelings for Barnabas even more compelling than before?
Yes, that has to be done to emphasize the difference between our-time Julia and parallel time Hoffman. But I've said before that I'm not sure they're so very different.
It's fun to see the woman whose our-time counterpart cursed Barnabas, along with the woman whose our-time counterpart developed a cure for his curse, working together to figure out just what that curse is. If I were Lara Parker or Grayson Hall, I'd be bugging Frid right now during rehearsal time by saying things like, "Jonathan, that curse of yours...is it bigger than a breadbox?"
I guess the reason Barnabas didn't bite Hoffman was that if Angelique ever discovered the two puncture wounds, she would know exactly what was going on. It's a pity, though. I would have enjoyed seeing Hoffman as Barnabas's victim, and I would have enjoyed seeing our-time Julia being terribly conflicted about what Barnabas had done to her parallel time counterpart.
Oh, gosh, why hasn't Barnabas moved his coffin? But of course that's a silly question. He hasn't moved it so that we may have today's cliffhanger. I suppose the idea is that Will and Carolyn are supposed to protect him, but at the moment they're falling down on the job. It's always the way with the people assigned to protect Barnabas during the day.
The primary afghan was on the sofa in the living room of the Old House today, with its lime-green inner border quite noticeable. I was wondering if Hoffman was going to hide underneath it.
