I've never found an appropriate place to say this--

Quentin Collins.... the wolf that walks like a man.... and the rest of the time, the man that drinks like a fish...

I'm glad you finally said it!

I don't recall Elizabeth doing a whole lot of drinking on the show, either. I suppose she could have, though, we just didn't get to see it on screen. [ghost_wub]

That's what I was thinking too.

Was Julia much of a drinker? She was probably more into pills.

Early on in 1897, Judith accuses Quentin of being drunk. He isn't, but his reply is priceless: "That's never been one of my bad habits. Never could be."

Either he's lying like a politician, or, based on what we actually see of his drinking, it was prompted by everything going to hell in his life.

Oh, thanks, MB! In the fog of what I call a memory, I somehow pictured Joe there. Of course, he wasn't. I suppose I confused that scene with the one where Joe went up to Collinwood, smashed beyond words, which someone else mentioned. [ghost_grin]

Believe me, I can relate, adamsgirl. More than once I've checked out a scene in which I was almost positive a certain character had been or had said something and it turned out that I was confusing it with a completely different scene. It's funny how our minds sometimes play tricks.  [ghost_wink]

My thinking that Petofi had a whole storyline in the 'present' beats all that I think.

Well, Petofi (in Quentin's body) visited the present for approximately 10 seconds. During his stay there Maggie Evans walked into the room. Does that count as a storyline?

I don't remember Judith ever drinking very much. The only scene I can even remember her drinking at all was when she was just trying to lure Gregory into drinking so that she could drug him and subsequently wall him up in Quentin's room

Spoilers:

Judith gulped down a brandy when Minerva's ghost was dogging her, and I'm pretty sure she had a drink to celebrate her inheritance,  And was going to have one to celebrate getting rid of Gregory-- all good reasons, lol.  But through most of 1897 she was a spinster who nagged others for their drinking.  Jennifer, could you have meant Naomi?

Not sure I remember a specific episode in which he was drinking, but wasn't PT1970 Roger Collins a lush, in addition to being kind of a psychopath?  [ghost_embarrassed]

And I also got the impression that the Carolyn of that storyline was a bit of a drinker, along with her hubs, William H. Loomis.

Only after WHL was out of the picture, I think.

What about Ben Stokes? The only time I remember seeing him drink was at the Blue Whale, demanding
more rum.
