Carolyn's fine with Bruno wandering around the place.   If Carolyn's philosophy of life could be put into words, I think it would be: "I'm okay with anything or anybody if it helps the story move along smoothly, otherwise I'm very skeptical."   

Collinwood is littered with empty cottages and houses, even though the mansion is the size of an aircraft carrier, and would hold everyone the Collinses might want to put up.   I didn't differentiate between Jeb's place and Chris's until now.

And that's all apparently.   No more notes.

Carolyn is back! Yay! I so miss those bouncy, flippy curls though.

Love David’s watch. Had something similar ages ago myself. Wide studded leather… buckles… It was the cat’s meow in them days.

Is Bruno’s hair higher than Elizabeth’s?

Ack! Sabrina! If she hadn’t put her hair up in rollers, she would have resembled that spooky housekeeper from House on Haunted Hill (the original version, thank you very much).

Cancel earlier observation regarding Bruno’s tall hair. Sabrina’s new do is higher than everybody’s.

That fur coat of Bruno’s is just plain wrong. What kind of a fashion statement is he trying to convince us of?

As I stated earlier, I haven’t been watching these episodes, so just why is Bruno on Chris’ case?

Janet-- Jeb's told Bruno that werewolves are the Leviathans' worst enemies, so he wants to protect Jeb, and when Chris was revealed to be Sabrina's boyfriend, he bacame suspect #1 to Bruno.  Earlier, Bruno witnessed the werewolf sparing Sabrina in the woods, and I think he heard her talking to the werewolf as someone who cared about him.   Since then Bruno's had his eye on Sabrina.

Ah, yes. I remember now from the first time I slogged through this mess. Thank you, allmighty soul saver.

And thus we began one of the worst contrived and all out hated storylines on DS from what I have heard through the years!  I don't think I have ever met anyone who liked the return of [spoiler]Peter Bradford [/spoiler] storyline in my almost 20 years in fandom.

“And all of the sudden the bloook…the book!” David  Great blooper!
Is that the Petofi hand box in the hallway?

Does anyone know what kind of poster David has on his wall??  It looks like Quentin—the blue and yellow one!?

Bruno's hair is out of control!

I do like Sabrina's short hair (which I think is a wig) as it's very pretty and becoming.  I see they have given her a makeover courtesy of Carolyn which was very nice of her as others have pointed out.  She sure got her makeover quickly.  Carolyn must have had one of her drag queen friends on hand.

I sure wouldn't want to live in Collinwood with all those nosy people.

As usual Don is looking cute as a button!  Bruno as usual is gonna stick his nose where it does not belong.  Chains and handcuffs Bruno!?  Maybe Chris is just a kinky guy!  ;)  Did anyone see a stage hand or possibly actor walking around (in the distance) in front of Chris's window??

You know what? Had Collinsport been located in South Carolina, the Leviathans would have been eliminated by the KKK, Barnabas would have been staked, Angelique burnt to a cinder, Maggie would still be working at a diner, Roger Davis would have gotten his ass kicked, Liz and Roger would have resided at Tara, and David would definitely not be allowed to talk back. Oh, and everybody would have gone to church. And nobody's hair would have turned gray. Unless they ate chitlins, anyway.

Yes, I saw that somebody-or-other, too.  I tried to convince myself that it was lightning or something, but in vain.

Sabrina went through a transformation today, nicer than the one Chris goes through at the full moon.  That, I suppose, should create a link between Chris and Sabrina, but so far I'm seeing zero chemistry between  them.  All I'm seeing is memories of misery.  Oh, and Sabrina's talent for saying the wrong thing.  "I want this to be a very special night for us."  I thought that was code for "Tonight we're going to finally sleep together."   But apparently Chris didn't read it that way.  Later, she started talking about "man and wife," and Chris should have said, "Oh, I just remembered I have an appointment tonight.  Bye!"

And thus we began one of the worst contrived and all out hated storylines on DS from what I have heard through the years!  I don't think I have ever met anyone who liked the return of [spoiler]Peter Bradford [/spoiler] storyline in my almost 20 years in fandom.
Actually, this time around it seems like a reasonably logical development to me.  But more on that when we get to the reveal.

And nobody's hair would have turned gray. Unless they ate chitlins, anyway.
Especially Mrs. Johnson's New England Boiled Chitlins.

I don't know how David Henesy managed to keep a straight face while Bruno was struggling with the noose.  Granted, I watched it last night in a Nyquil haze, but I thought Bruno's flailing was so unintentionally hysterical.  He did a couple of spins over to the dresser where each swipe of his arm made contact with the stuff on top, threw himself into the wall and almost took it out, crossed the room and launched himself onto his butt on the desk, jumped back off and collapsed onto the floor.  Of course, in true DS fashion, he had use of his voice the whole time.

Sabrina:  "[Bruno] makes me feel uncomfortable. He seems like the kind of person who can't be trusted."
Carolyn:  "Yes, I felt the same way about him when I first met him, but now that I've seen him a few times, I'm convinced he's completely harmless."
Well, Carolyn's infatuation with Jeb has already caused us to question her judgment, so I can't say this came as a surprise.

Carolyn to Bruno:  "Every once in a while, [Chris] gets very moody and just disappears for a few days. I guess he just goes off to be by himself for a while."
Chris has PMS?  Oh wait, I get it.  Never mind.

Bruno, after finding chains and handcuffs in Chris' drawer:  "Ohh, I know a lot about you, and I surmise a great deal more. ... You are I are going to spend a good deal of time together, Mr. Jennings. ... Together, you and I are going to watch the full moon rise."
Mm hmmm.

Is that the Petofi hand box in the hallway?

Yep.

We certainly know what Sabrina wants, Chris might too also, unless the curse is just an excuse.

[spoiler]Maybe RD was the only person available, or just that Dan Curtis wanted to give him
some work.[/spoiler]

Why would RD's butt been kicked?
