Current Talk '08 I / Re: Discuss - Ep #0508
« on: March 28, 2008, 05:27:01 AM »I know they changed different parts of the story back and forth, but I thought I remembered her being 18 and how her father left right after she was born.
In Ep #5 Carolyn states that Liz hasn't left the estate for 18 years - and those 18 years began six months before Carolyn was born - because Liz has supposedly been waiting all that time for Carolyn's father to return. It isn't until Leviathans that they decide to rewrite history. And as much as I hate the rewriting of soap history (and soaps do it far too frequently) I suppose it was necessary in Leviathans because it certainly would have been kind of hard for Paul to have turned over his most prized possession when 1) that prized possession hadn't even been born yet and, thus, 2) he wouldn't have had the level of emotional attachment and investment that would have made his baby daughter his most prized possession.

On the recap for the beginning of the Barney episodes, DVD #1, the narrator/voiceover says Carolyn is 18.
She may have been by the time Barnabas arrived (Carolyn's birth month keeps changing), but if they were implying Carolyn was 18 when the show began (I haven't watched the recap in ages), well, whoever wrote that narration wasn't paying attention - or worse yet, didn't even bother to research Carolyn's age at the start of the series. (Perhaps that same person also worked on the PomPress books. )
