I have two ideas for potential cast members...

As a matron role (Elizabeth Stoddard, Naomi Collins, etc), I name Maggie Smith (most recently McGonagall from Harry Potter)
And as either Roger or Joshua, I propose Sean Connery.

Any takers here?

My question is, who was it that sat for the original "Josette" portrait as seen in the Old House? The reason I ask is that after seeing it so many times, I honestly do NOT believe that Kathryn Leigh Scott (KLS) was the model for the portrait, in spite of her playing the flesh-and-blood character later on. My reasons for believing this are:

1) The Josette in the portrait appears to have a larger bust-line than KLS has (trying to state this as respectfully as I can, but KLS appeared to be a rather slender woman, more so than the model for the portrait)

2) On a similar note, KLS appears to have an, ahem, "thinner" face than the model does. For example, KLS's cheekbones are more clearly visible than the painted Josette's are; and also, the painted Josette has more prominent lips than KLS has, etc, etc.

Anyone else notice this??

Hello all, this is my first post here on the board, so here goes...

I have been reading the episode summaries, and I would like to start a discussion on the character of "Crazy" Jenny Collins.

First, let's make the hypothetical assumption that Jenny is a real person, same as you or I. Now, let's also assume that she presents the same general pattern of behaviors she exhibits in episodes 716 and 717. For a recap, those include:

-- sneaking around, trying at all costs to avoid being seen by those she does not wish to reveal herself to
-- a general inability to distinguish certain inanimate objects from living things (her caring for Nora's doll as if it were a living child)
-- homicidal tendencies (trying to burn Judith alive in bed; threatening to stab Judith with the scissors)
-- rapidly cycling shifts in personality (going from preparing to murder Judith to crooning a lullaby to her "babies" nearly instantaneously)
-- making statements which, to you or I, would seem quite nonsensical (see her "What color is a lie?" speech)

Furthermore, let's assume that she, through whatever series of events, found herself in a legitimate mental institution.

My question is, what would most likely end up being Jenny's diagnosis?
