Before I finally get to the captures/captions being commented on below, I have to say that anyone who doesn't believe there were actual moments of intentional humor on DS have obviously never seen this early 1897 scene:
1969: Ep #706 - ...Magda soon announces Edith is dead. The expression on John Karlen's face alone is funny. But then, Carl was often used as comic relief during 1897.
Some real treats in tonight's show! One of my all time favorite DS moments is the close-up (and Joan's gloating voiceover) of Judith as she exultantly enters the drawing room to purr over her new status as unrivalled Mistress of Collinwood.
Yes. And you've got to believe that Joan relished playing the scene as much as we do watching it:
1969: Ep #713 - Judith is tickled pink to learn Edith's will
puts her in control of everything. Nice shot of Magda over the cards, too.
1969: Ep #713 - Magda tells Judith that she can find the will
in 'the heart' of Edith's room. Grayson was always a hoot and a half when she did any of Magda's scenes with the Tarot card.
I swear Sky looks like an Ohrbach's men's department mannequin in that first snap from today's Leviathans show.
Was there any time that Sky didn't resemble a mannequin?! Sadly, Geoffrey Scott was all look and little talent.
Love the shot of Angelique's acid analysis of how "mighty" Sky is as chief lackey-in-waiting to Nicholas. Love that color and style on LP.
1970: Ep #974 - Angelique teases Sky over how far his
status has fallen. One of the best scenes ever on DS. It's just too bad that Lara Parker doesn't recall it as well as many of us do. (She even wrote in the DS Companion that she believed the scene took place between Ang and Nicholas.)
I get a real kick out of Grayson on the sofa in that PT 1841 shot. She seems to be saying, "Gawd! this storyline is giving me a bitch of a headache!" lol.
1971: Ep #1235 - Gabriel has knocked Julia over the head
and escaped from the tower room. Actually though, that ep is one of Julia Collins' best, as we'll see when we get to it in the WP...
