I guess we assume it's in a room they didn't go in, but as it seems to be somewhere near the front entrance and they are visiting for a week, it's really hard to believe that she'd risk that!!!!!
As problems with this storyline go, anything having to do with the portrait is minor, indeed, basically because the portrait itself is a minor plot point - unlike a major development having to do with a "real world" aspect of the plot that comes up today for the first time in episode #949. It simply defies any logical explanation whatsoever, and it's one of the biggest problems I have with this portion of the story...
Would you mind expounding on this oblique commentary?
However, whenever aspects of the plot crossed over into the "real world," DS was not free to make up its own rules.
On a show where they couldn't even track the continuity from pink dresses to black ones, it really is too much to expect that anyone on the set in New York should have called the Maine Legislature to ask if they had the death penalty on the books.
Ah, the exquisite tortures of examining Dark Shadows too closely!!
Well, believe it or not, the writers did research obscure Maine laws for the witchcraft trials that took place on the show. So, they were motivated when the spirit moved them. Unfortunately, it didn't move them often enough. ;)
Even the most dimwitted attorney imaginable could have gotten Philip off had his case ever actually gone to trial. [lghy]

Except Peter Bradford, snort.
Well, remember, so far as they know, the portrait Vicki bought was ruined beyond repair.
When did this happen? When Vicky first bought the portrait back to Collinwood after she had purchased it in an antique shop I didn't think it looked "ruined" or beyond repair? Did I miss something here?
[ And we finally get this thread back on topic. ;) And thanks for an opportunity to show everyone how the new Spoiler Text feature acts. :D

On some other posting boards you have to move the cursor around to find the spoilers, and sometimes you find that a large blank space is just a blank space.
A large blank space is all I'm getting, even when I move the cursor.
Don't tell me. Let me guess. It's just an IE thang..... ::)
Well...
When Nicholas took away Cassandra's powers and she began to age rapidly, Vicki, Julia and Roger discovered that Angelique's portrait suddenly appeared as it does in the above photo.

Put the cursor over the blank space and highlight - then it'll appear. I did it quite by accident.
LOL, thanks, Gerard. In Netscape you don't have to highlight, silly me.
Despite MB's picture of an aged portrait of Angelique, I do remember Elizabeth specifically seeing the 1795 portrait of Angelique in the Collinwood drawing room shortly after Victoria purchased it in Collinsport. There was nothing wrong with the portrait at that time.
I believe you're confusing the timeline, Vlad. Vicki purchased the portrait in April '68 - but the capture I've posted is from July '68, taken from an episode during Cassandra's swan song.
I didn't see that you had explained this using the new "Spoiler" invisible writing feature.
