i've been re-watching the early part of the laura collins story.
one of the things that is standing out for me most is the character of maggie evans.
in these early episodes she is the absolute most
ridiculous,gossipy,busybody ever!i had forgotten about this nature of the character.in a few episodes maggie actually leaves her station behind the counter,pours herself a cup of coffee,and sits down with her customer and blabs and blabs and blabs...she just spills the beans on everyone.
in one scene poor burke suffered the indignity of having to go behind the counter to fix himself a cup...and he topped off maggie to boot!
i've been seeing the character in the post-josette,ingenue mode for so long i kind of forgot about this nature of maggie.it reminded me of what i first loved about her.she's a blabbermouth but still apple-cheeked and sweet.it's a nice duality.
for those unfamiliar with this part of the show it's quite something to see.
