Current Talk '24 I / Re: And Now The Return of Another New Slideshow (Sort of), Part 2 [**Now featuring alternate version
« on: October 09, 2017, 05:30:40 PM »David's somewhat protective behavior towards Maggie indicates to me that they may have resolved their issues from earlier in the movie. Or, with Carolyn out of the picture, David simply wants an ally in case he needs one later on.
Valid possibilities on both counts.

It was established early on that Willie had a definite infatuation with Maggie that was not reciprocated. Maggie seems to have mellowed towards him, though David certainly has not.
On the daytime show, while Vicki was more afraid of Willie than defiant toward him, she mellowed after his personality completely changed under, shall we say, Barnabas' influence. Perhaps Maggie's mellowing is a reflection of that too. Though it might have been nice had there been at least one line in the script to indicate that - perhaps something similar to the line the '91 Vicki says during her dinner with Barnabas.

Now that Barnabas appears to be in remission, has he lost his control over Willie? Is that why Willie is able to try to warn Maggie, leading up to the You Betrayed Me sequence later on? But HODS Barnabas did not seem to exorcise the same amount of control over his victims that the TV Barnabas did. Not with Willie. Certainly not with Carolyn.
It's odd that film Barnabas seems to have little if any control over his victims...
