i don't believe maggie had the "qualifications" to be a governess so much as that the writers were in a pinch.

with vicki gone they had a vital role to fill...the-helpless-ingenue-victim-in-residence...and kathryn leigh scott as maggie fit the bill perfectly.

i think nancy barrett's carolyn was too strong willed and petulant to fill this role.that's why the type of "take-the-key-and-lock-her-up" storyline usually went to one of the other actresses

You've got that right. If Barnabas had kidnapped Carolyn, and like Maggie her true persona had reasserted herself, that storyline wouldn't have even lasted another week before Carolyn would have ripped his head off.  ;D  And that would have been the end of Barn forever.  ;)

Maggie's qualifications:  good healthy screams; looks groovy in the latest Governess Chic fashions, vintage '69.

It would have made some sense if Liz had hired Maggie to do DAYCARE for the children, on the presumption that since Maggie had been close to Vicki, Maggie's presence in the house would help ease the trauma of Vicki's disappearance for the kids.  There could have been dialogue along the lines of "I'll ask Maggie if she'd like to come live at Collinwood to help watch the children while I look for a teacher to provide their lessons."  Of course, this would have required hiring another actress to play the teacher, but she could have appeared even more infrequently than Mrs Johnson did...

I quite like the notion of Julia as the Governess.  (*starts pondering scenarios*)

After all, hadn't Julia been a schoolteacher in NIGHT OF THE IGUANA - so there's your experience!

Hey, Dom, how does one increase the size of your Avatar so we can read the resume?

It's a generic resume. The coffee rings are meant to be the focal point.

I love the Corgi's in front of Collinwood!

Maggie was probably one of the few people who had the nerve to actually walk through the front door of Collinwood!  Her heart was always in the right place as far as the children went if not her head.

There was yet another vital item that qualified Maggie to be governess at Collinwood--- that long dark hair.  She would NOT have gotten so far if she'd stuck with that sassy, short, blond Dynel wig.
