If KLS hadn't asked for an extended leave of absence to accompany Ben Martin on assignment in Africa, there probably wouldn't have been two Josette lookalikes in 1897. But I have to confess that I actually liked how things worked out because I really got into Kitty being Josette's reincarnation and how Kitty was used to herald Barnabas' return. But then I'm actually in the camp that likes the reincarnation angle. I can certainly see the other side's POV because since DS used it, it has been worked to death. But at the same time I also liked how Vicki being Josette's reincarnation played in the '91 Series - to me it definitely deepened the connection between Barn and Vicki. And it will certainly be interesting to see how the Depp/DS film plays it. If I had to make a choice, I probably would like to see them use the reincarnation angle again.
But at the same time I won't be terribly disappointed if they don't...
As for Eva Green's take on Angelique, that's one of the things I'm most looking forward to seeing when it comes to the Depp/DS film.
