If the book had come out a year earlier or came out on a more timely basis, these little tangents would have been a lot easier to digest. They add little to the overall story, nor do they really add much to the "what happened during the gap in the miniseries" , a plot thread that seems far more important to the writers than it did to the readers
I have to say, I'm quite glad that there was nothing about Julia's failed marriage in the series as aired. It would totally change the viewer's understanding of her character and her relationship with Barnabas. As with Grayson Hall's Julia, what we see is someone who appears to be a lonely middle-aged unmarried woman who in love with a man and misreads his communications with her. Barbara Steele's scenes with Joanna Going seem rather poignant, as I recall.
And again--if I cared to do so, I'd use that scene to argue that the comic books take place in their own alternate world (or Parallel Time) version of 1991 Collinwood--no defined connection to the Collinwood of 1991 canon.
