When Chris, Amy and Sabrina left Collinsport, where did they go? Do you think Chris married Sabrina? Do you think Chris found a way to break his curse?
-
To the best of my knowledge, they never said where Chris, Amy and Sabrina went after they left the show, and were only mentioned once in passing by Quentin when the writer's realized there were a few loose ends to tie up. I think someone has mentioned a few times that the writers planned to have Chris eventually kill Sabrina, but don't take my word for it!

That's one of the things in the Sam Hall article I can definitely see happening. It would certainly be in keeping with the tragedy which follows most of the DS characters.
-
I wouldn't consider Sabrina's death much of a tragedy. >:D

LMAO! [lghy] That's cold!

When Chris, Amy and Sabrina left so suddenly and seemingly into the unknown I often wondered where they might have gone since Chris was still under the curse.
I like to think that perhaps the following is what occurred after they left Collinwood.
That Sabrina learned of the ancestors of King Johnny Romana and his gypsy tribe, that they went to plead Chris' case before them and that they took pity on Chris and cured him without the hefty price of a hand or other appendage... once cured Chris and Sabrina never married, she decided to seek her fortune and true love else where, leaving Chris and Amy to travel around the world after Chris writes a book on lycanthrope... That Amy married and adopts many children, she lives out her days surrounded in the love of her children, grand and great grand children. Chris also never has children of his own but dies a happy old man at 99 and a half years.
I like thinking this is what happend to the Collins Cousins of Collinwood.

Exactly. And given how self-loathing Chris was and how he was always so completely devasted even on learning that he'd harmed people that he barely knew, I can definitely see where, upon being confronted with the fact that his wolf-self had killed Sabrina, Chris would have been able to bring himself to do what he couldn't in the past: kill himself. :( That's certainly in keeping with the tradegies of most of the DS characters...
-
I'd like to think that Chris turned to God and prayed that God would remove the curse from him. God answered his prayer and he becomes an architect and marries Sabrina.
-
I definitely agree with the tragedy angle. I could see that happening on the show, and it's likely in keeping with DS that Chris, Sabrina and Amy wouldn't have ended up living peacefully. I don't much care for Sabrina (at all ;) ), but it would've been very sad to see something like that play out on screen.
-
Yes it would. I like happy endings myself.
-
The DS plots conatin few if any actual happy endings. Even when things seem to have worked out for characters, [spoiler]as appears to be the case for couples like Quentin and Daphne, Desmond and Leticia, and Kendrick and Melanie at the ends of the 1840/41 and 1841PT storylines,[/spoiler] one can't help but wonder if the horrors they experienced on the way to a supposedly happy ending don't haunt them for the rest of their lives. And then, of course, there's how the apparent happy ending for [spoiler]Vicki and Peter that audiences assumed at the end of Barnabas' trip back to 1796 was shattered by revelations made during the subsequent Leviathans storyline...[/spoiler]
-
I just *can't* accept those "subsequent revelations" explained in the spoilers above. That whole mess was done so badly and so confusedly. At any rate, I'd like to think that Chris and Sabrina and Amy end up happily ever after...but that's probably not the case. If Briscoe had stayed on the show, Chris would have probably killed Sabrina or something similar. Almost every romance is dashed to pieces on the show (except the above-mentioned relationships in 1840 and 1841 PT).
-

Me neither, god what an awful mess that trip was. It never made any sense to me, and when they did include it it was like "What?!" What on earth possessed the writers to write that in I have no idea, it never went anywhere to my recollection, except to [spoiler]haunt Jeb with the Leviathan curse of being vulnerable to ghosts and werewolves, another idea that prompted a "What?!" moment.[/spoiler]
-
As I recall Amy did seem to exert some control over Chris's werewolf character. It seems that Chris would never hurt her. Amy with her psychic abilities would know if she saw the star on Sabrina's forehead would warn her.

When Amy first met Elizabeth Stoddard. Chris's werewolf character ran away from her. I think it was because he loved her. Love is the most powerful force in this world.
I don't think Amy knew what the star meant. She just thought it meant that someone had to go away. She saw the star on Carolyn's forehead and thought that Carolyn had to go away like her cousin Joe.

I remember if at one point that there was a waitress in the Blue Whale who had the star on her forehead too. Remember the werewolf crashing through the plate glass window at the Blue Whale?
My feeling is that there was a golden opportunity that was missed for the Amy Jennings character to really develop into one of the most interesting characters on the show. Denise Nickerson was an amazing actor who they should have had a bigger role written for IMO.
-
Quentin made one mere reference to the fact that Chris, Amy and Sabrina were gone, but he never went into specifics where they went or why. This is not what I consider "typing up loose ends" it's what I consider sloppy writing. Chris and Amy were characters that the audience cared about (can't say the same about Sabrina judging by the posts I have read about her) and it was really sloppy of the writers to just leave their fates in limbo. Even if it wasn't a happy ending, they should have given SOME explanation to what happened to them.

Not to mention the fact that [spoiler]Jenny's ghost kept telling Chris to find Quentin cause Quentin could help him lift the curse.[/spoiler] UH huh. Never saw any evidence that he had ever found the answer to that one. Yet another nicely planted plot bunny that they never tied up or followed up on. [ChristmaS11]
-
At the end of DVD Collection 26, they imply that Chris and Sabrina's story did not turn out well, and that he did eventually kill her. [easter_undecided] I don't think they mentioned Amy ...
-
I don't think they mentioned Amy ...
I believe it implies Carolyn adopts Amy, or at least becomes something akin to her guardian. That would have been a very interesting direction for things to go - particularly considering that Amy is a Collins.
-
I guess it's just too painful for people to ask where Ned Stuart is.
-
Hopefully Ned, in a drunken stupor, accidentally fell from Widows' Hill one night. [easter_wink]

You're right-- I forgot about that [easter_cool]
-

LOL!!!! A little harsh Myst-- he wasn't that bad!! (albeit he was pretty annoying when you're rooting for Chris)
-
Or Sabrina, who finally got sick and tired of brother dear, splashed him with A-1 steak sauce and shoved him into Chris' room one full-moon night.

That's what I thought. Chris was locked in somewhere and Sabrina was
worried about him, went to check on him and while he was a wolf
he killed her. Then he killed himself.
-
Well, some problems don't get solved.

I remember that episode. But I wonder did Quentin know that Chris is his great-great grandson? Julia told Chris
that Quentin is his great-great grandfather.
-
I don't know if great-great grandfather is correct. I would guess something more like grandfather or great-grandfather at the most, unless of course everyone subsequent generation had children when they were around 12-15.
I happen to know my great-grandfather was born approx 110 years before me, and Quentin is probably about 70 years older than Chris.
-
Quentin was the Jennings' great-grandfather because Chris said that Quentin's daughter Lenore was his grandmother. And, yes, Quentin knew he was related. In fact, one of my pet peeves is that, except for one extremely brief reference to it in Ep #962, nothing more was ever really made of that fact between Quentin and Chris - or that Quentin was responsible for Chris' curse. [easter_rolleyes] [easter_angry]
The reason I think that perhaps Chris, Sabrina and Amy's departure got so little fanfare was that they were still hoping at the time that one day Don Briscoe would return. There were actually plans for him to play Randall Drew in 1840, but it just didn't work out.
-
That actor playing Randall Drew was good... too bad he didn't stay. Not a flashy character, but he "grounded" things in reality a bit, and that's important.
