Sheenasma, I wish I could see that cigarette commercial. I believe there's a Dial soap one with Briscoe barechested and soapy in the shower on a tape somewhere. I turn into the Beast from Outer Space just thinking about this.
And Julia, darling, you know how to make a boy SMILE with your rewrite of that Julia/Grant scene. Sometimes I think when Grant screams at her "Just what do you WANT, Doctor???" I imagine her crooning deliciously, "I just want to take care of you, sweetie!"
Connie's story, Divine Awakening, develops the Julia/Quentin relationship potential sooo beautifully. And even more beautiful, of course, is Quentin/Barnabas--that's definitely one for the rotogravure.
