As per another DS website, Lela Swift got George Mitchell fired because he looked too sloppy in the role.

Another very interesting tidbit. Though one does wonder why fire someone when a warning to spiff up a bit might have sufficed?  [hall2_undecided]  Was Mitchell that adamant about Matthew's look that he would rather have been fired than change? That's real dedication to ones craft...

Joeytrom, if you're referring to Mark Masse's site, it looks to me to be half episode summary and half fiction.

It was due to the sloppy way he was eating eggs in a scene with Vicky in his cottage.

Interesting tidbit of info here. Though I'm with MB, wouldn't some direction have sufficed to fix the problem? Lela was, after all, a director.

The Basement makes a nice spooky debut.  I find it hard to believe Mathew didn’t know about Miss Winters.
More of Vickies past come to light.  Despite her denials, Liz know about Vickies past as inferred from her conversation with the troubled child David.

Another great opening voiceover. Having started watching during the Petofi period, seeing sets such as the kitchen (or is it more a ? ) and the basement is still a thrill for me. The storage room appears to have some great significance. We get a sense of the better/softer side of Liz in this episode. Her talk with David and Mathew's Liz speech make her out to be a good person with a bad secret or two. How can we not think Vicki is one of them. Of course she keeps denying it. And quite well to Vicki's face. Vicki and Carolyn have a conversation without Carolyn blowing up, lol. Apparently David & Roger hate each other. Come to think of it, no one likes Roger but Carolyn. What surprises me more than Mathew being unaware of Vicki's presence at Collinwood is that Vicki knows how to drive! Orphanage/NYC? Not likely.
