Carolyn doesn't seem happy to hear the police are certain Adam is dead--she needs time to get back to being herself. Liz asks if Adam hurt her. He used force to keep me there, says Carolyn, yet didn't hurt her--he was strange, pathetic, trying in his own clumsy way to be gentle. Liz finds this hard to believe.He was frightened, trapped, and had to do something desperate, explains Carolyn. Liz wonders how she can defend this man, who could have killed her. He wouldn't have done that, says Carolyn, trying to explain, but in a strange way, she feels sorry for Adam, but doesn't understand why--she isn't happy the man is dead, because now they'll never know who he was, where he came from--there was something about him that made him so different from other people, almost like a child who hasn't learned to talk or had any experience with other human beings.
... further proof that -
- David Selby was the anointed successor to Joel Crothers in our DS Universe.
And I'm sure we all recall that almost exactly 11 years after DS went off, in a DS-related interview Crothers said that when he was on DS he would have loved to have played a character like Quentin. Of course, he wasn't offered the role. But who knows - maybe in some alternate universe Crothers actually did play Quentin on the daytime DS. And quite possibly that might also mean that he played Quentin and Charles in that universe's version of NoDS...
Barnabas finds Angelique wide awake in the drawing room, and fuming about his failure to tell her he's hiding a woman in their house. Oops, says Barn, he intended to tell her, but there's been no opportunity. Vicki is there for protection from Trask, insists Barnabas, but Angelique hints there's another reason, and Barnabas laughingly accuses his bride of jealousy. Does I have reason to be? demands Ang. No, Barnabas says. Why is he taking the risk of hiding Miss Winters, then? Barnabas explains he doesn't believe in witchcraft, and even if he did, he doesn't believe Vicki is a witch--does Angelique believe Vicki is a witch? asks Barn, to which Ang responds, "I know nothing of witches." She was just upset he kept this from her, and he apologizes for doing so. They hug, and she says they've both been cast aside by his family, they only have each other. . .she promises to keep quiet about Vicki. They kiss as he heads off into town to find work
If it makes you feel any better, in the entire filmed frame, the nude sketch glimpsed to the right of the above doesn't have Angelique's face on it. It's more of a female body study. There's no head on the sketch-- it ends at the neck... |
PS But where was the immortal Buzz Hackett on Thanksgiving?
...
They look at each other and as Gabriel continues to
POUND, Charles crosses to the door and opens it,
but just a crack, revealing a very nervous Gabriel.
And that's when today's quote -Page 35A/Scene 85 - Gabriel: 'I have come for her, brother.'
- comes up.
And as for what's different about the dialogue, Gabriel says something completely different because what he actually says is "That's my wife, Charles", which I think is a much better line.
And as for what's different from the descriptions and directions, Charles does cross to the door, but after he goes down the stairs and unlocks it, he actually kicks it completely open and then steps back to reveal Gabriel. And Gabriel doesn't look particularly nervous - a better description is that he looks angry. (There's no hint of the nervousness Gabriel will display in a sequence which chronologically takes place before the tower room scene but is a sequence we have yet to see in the film because it doesn't come up until Scenes 119 & 121.)
And before we leave these moments in the film, I do have to say that even more than three years after first posting about it, I still can't believe that it took me so long to really pay attention to that sketch:I never really ever paid much notice to the sketch that's hanging on the wall near the door when Charles answers the door to Gabriel. And I have no idea how I actually could have paid little attention to it, particularly in the VHS version of the film where it seems to show up more prominently for a longer period of time:
Apparently one can easily presume that Angelique wasn't always as, uh, overly dressed as she was when she was posing for Charles' unfinished portrait. And apparently this is yet further proof that no matter how often one watches something (and I've watched NoDS so many time that I lost count long ago) one can still pick up things on even more repeated viewings.
