Ah, so everyone does have pet peeves!! Love it!
Craig Slocum - We had a chiming grandfather clock when I was growing up too. I used to sneak down at night and turn the chimes off.
Gothick - If you use enough Aqua Net hairspray, you can have perfect hair all week long, morning, noon and night.
Terry306 - The Collins family has always kept odd hours. 4:00 am IS quite late for them; 3:00 am is their normal bedtime.
jthomas_123 - There are no customers in the Collinsport shops because they have all been eaten by the werewolf. They stay in business thru a grant from Diabolos providing they raise his satanic children.
Luciaphil - Perhaps there is a novelty alarm clock somewhere in the house that crows like a rooster. Kind of like those cat clocks with the eyes that go back and forth.
Connie - Willie's not the best with his hands and wasn't able to fix the wobbly bannister. I don't know who built the Old House but Barnabas' claim that it was built to "last" certainly doesn't extend to the bannister.
kuanyin - I noticed David's remark about the "one" wing closed off too. Wasnt it the EAST wing in which he locked up Victoria Winters in the early episodes? And I know it was the EAST wing that Elizabeth offered to open up for Vicki and Burke to live in.
Candlelighter - the candles are quite easy to explain. The various ghosts cannot see too well in the dark, so they go around lighting candles in closed off wings, mausoleum rooms, basements, etc. It's actually very convenient for the living and they don't mind.
Cassandra - I have often remarked that the town of Collinsport is in dire need of Animal Control. Sad to think of all those homeless doggies. But I wonder why nobody thinks of them after all the "mysterious" attacks that leave people with "animal-like" wounds on their necks. It's all the wild dogs, dummies!
scout75 - I think Julia's been at it with that medallion again, using it on David. Not only has he forgotten about Sarah, but he told Amy that living at Collinwood was just like "living at any other house." He's got to be kidding?
Bette - I was waiting for someone to mention that Wyndcliff thing. Apparently Maggie and little Amy were able to walk a hundred miles back to Collinsport. And how about the discrepency in distance between Collinwood and Eagle Hill cemetary? Sometimes people have to drive there, and sometimes it seems like it's about 20 feet away from the front door of Collinwood.
Raineypark - my mom watches As the World Turns too. I was raised on soaps!
tripwire - Perhaps there was only one gate maker in all of Collinsport for the last 200 years, hence the exact same squeaky sound whenever a gate is opened.
VAM - new batteries? Maybe that's why she smashed the mirror. I can just see Angelique throwing a little hissy fit when the reception starts to go.
