DarkLady, I suppose you're right, and that Daniel and Mr. Drew arranged the marriage of Quentin and Samantha, but that still leaves unanswered questions. I can see why Mr. Drew would want to have his daughter married to the heir of Collinwood, but why would Daniel want the marriage? Was it something about Mr. Drew's standing in Collinsport, or did Daniel simply decide that Samantha would make a good wife for Quentin? And why did Quentin go along with Daniel's arrangement? Would Daniel have threatened to disinherit Quentin if Quentin said no? Or did Quentin, with the example before him of the disastrous marriage of his parents, decide that an arranged marriage was safest? Quentin doesn't seem that passive to me, but maybe his disastrous marriage to Samantha has changed him.
Once again Joanna Mills first strikes me as interesting, and then gets duller and duller as time goes on. I can't imagine her in a relationship with either Randall Drew or Quentin.
Unlike Janet the Wicked, I'm enjoying Samantha's plight immensely. She knows Joanna is dead (whether or not that is true), and Gerard won't listen to her! Sort of like the people who figured out that Bernie Madoff was committing fraud but couldn't get anybody to listen to them.
