I enjoyed all of Edmonds' scenes as Joshua. He must have loved this role. At times Barnabas sounds like a kid but at some point he gets defiant and very adult and stays that way. Joshua disinherits Barn - no surprise there. Naomi usurps her husband's authority by making Barn and his impending bride a present of the Old House. Not really too much of a surprise except if one might think it odd that a married woman of that time to hold the deed to such a valuable property. Gotta love her. She played on Barn's sympathetic nature, and unfortunately he took the bait. Barn would have done better to go to Boston and live unhappily ever after with Ange.
I have to admit that to my own amusement, I found it something on the order of sacrilege that Angelique could open a window and enjoy the sights and sounds of a beautiful day.
Everyone looked so short in this episode, especially KLS as Josette -- the camera angle obviously.
I was very impressed with Parker's performance at the Old House. I can't improve on the way you splendidly described it, DarkLady. I wonder if her loss of control over the resurrected (or is he a ghost?) Jerimiah is the first true failing of Ange at her craft, or her first experience with her craft getting away from her? I don't recall any previous examples of this.
BTW, anybody know where Trask is staying? Anyone under the impression that he was staying at the Old House and is now at Collinwood?
I hope someone is remembering to feed Vicki.
