I didn't find Mitch Ryan's love making at all convincing.
But was it supposed to be convincing? Burke has never been interested in Carolyn. He's just using her, mostly because it might facilitate his revenge on the Collinses, and partly, perhaps, to pass the time because Vicky has refused to get involved with him. The minute Carolyn mentions Vicky, you can see Burke starting to take a real interest in the conversation.
It's creepy to me, how Burke goes on about how soft her skin is.
It wasn't creepy to me. Burke is desperately trying to find something personally attractive to himself about Carolyn. He says her skin is soft as a baby's – and a baby is how he thinks of her, despite that fact that he told her she was more mature than Vicky.
The fight scene, I liked though.
Not me. It was too obviously fake.
Back at Collinwood, Elizabeth calls Vicky's suitcase – the one in which Vicky brought all her belongings to Collinwood - a “weekend suitcase”. Well, for Liz, maybe it is – or actually, maybe it wouldn't even be big enough for a weekend visit, if Liz were ever actually to go anywhere. After all, she'd need a hatbox and a garment bag, too, and a cosmetics case, and I don't know what else. Oh, yes – how could I have forgotten? - a jewelry case.
