Nadja takes Guillermo to urgent care; Colin has trouble feeding. |
It struck me yesterday after I posted about Saturday's quote that a clip from Ep #315 was used to promote DS when it was on in '80s syndication in my area. I dug out the tape I thought the promo was on and indeed it was. However, for some reason the video portion wouldn't play in my current VCR, only the audio - this, despite the fact that the video and audio for the DS eps do play. Who knows? However, I've recreated it as best I could:
This promo ran Jan-Mar of 1986, between the time Eps #315-#365 were airing...
7 AM - Collinwood's foyer - Liz tells Stokes that while she knows Vicki sent for him, she fears what she will ask him to do. Stokes promises to help as much as possible, but Liz wants Vicki to forget Jeff Clark--it's for the best. Don't encourage her, says Liz.

...the scene is shot exactly as scripted. But what is interesting is that it includes unscripted dialogue as Carlotta explains "Collinwood was built by Joshua Collins in the late 1600s. Of course, there have been many changes and additions since then." And given that Sam Hall once remarked that due to DC's "newfound directorial style," the original cut of NoDS (the cut before the 129 minutes long recovered cut) was supposedly 165 minutes long and that length was at least partly because the cut supposedly included several instances of shots of characters simply walking down long halls before they get to the points of scenes, I've often wondered if that bit of dialogue from Carlotta was added in post production so as not to have Carlotta, Tracy and Quentin be seen to be simply walking down the corridor from the drawing room to the stairwell? But who knows? But what's also interesting is that in this instance it was SH himself who wrote Scene 30 to simply be them walking down the corridor, so he certainly couldn't blame DC's directorial style for it in that instance.
And there are still no differences between the way DC's and Grayson Hall's scripts are written up to this point.
