LOL yea, but I imagine the last thing a "John" wants to hear from a prostitute is that she's going to run and tell someone else who she's been with.

What ever happened to "discreet" prostitutes? I love how Ruby keeps talking about what all her "girlfriends" will say when she tells them she was "with" the great Barnabas Collins. Ruby Tate - the kiss-and-tell hooker.

I also love how Barnabas is carrying the pistol case around in front of everyone without anyone suspecting what he might be up to.
What a shame Clarice Blackburn was stuck playing Mrs "Would anyone care for some tea?" Johnson for so much of the series when she was clearly such a versatile and talented actress. She is truly phenomenal in this episode.

I have to confess that when I first saw the series in its initial airing, I wanted desperately for Vickie and Jeff to get married. I was only 10 years old at the time and certainly not into "romance," but something about those two really touched me somehow. I can remember being so disappointed when it didn't happen and posivitely PO'd when Alejandra was suddenly replaced by an obviously inferior interloper (how I came to loathe the "the part of ________ will be played today by..." intros. after that). Ah, the traumas of youth.
Funny the things that stick in one's mind over the decades!

Gotta agree...Roger Davis definitely gets a bum rap on this site.
What I find odd is that, in 1795, Barnabas' interest in Vickie seems to be purely platonic, yet in 1967, he is all but in love with her. She's the exact same person, yet his response to her is so different.

Poor Millicent. Nobody gives a hoot about her "virtue" but her. The look of impatient annoyance on Barnabas' face was absolutely priceless. Those scenes were very funny, some of the very few intentionally humorous moments in the history of the series.

That was definitely one of the great closing scenes in DS history.
The only thing is, though, that it brings up one of those time-travelling conundrums that it is probably best simply to leave un-analyzed, but here goes.
The V/A concept was very clever and dramatic, but unless Miss Wickes' first name also began with a V, it wouldn't have been possible for Barnabas to have derived this information out of Ben in quite this way the "first" time it happened. Ah well, great scene anyway.

Finally, somebody caught Angelique in the act. I was always amazed at just how loudly she would recite those incantations of hers, often in pretty public and centralized locations such as the drawing rooms of both the main house and the old house. Why no one ever heard her at other times is beyond me.

Clarice Blackburn was truly wonderful in this episode, especially in her scene with Joshua.
Speaking of that scene, has the prompter ever been more in evidence than in that full shot of it on the left-hand side of the screen in the drawing room. Either that, or those 18th Century Collins' had some remarkably advanced technology for the time. Or perhaps Vickie brought it with her from 1967. Or maybe they're ALL witches.![[santa_wink]](http://www.dsboards.com/SMF/Smileys/classic/santa_wink.gif "Winking Santa")

I love the stagehand's hand reaching up to open the door in the bedroom scene.
Any guesses as to how long Angelique's resolution to never hurt anyone ever again will last?

Just noticed that Lara Parker's name was skipped in the episode's closing credits.
Is this the closest DS ever got to referencing sex? (Not counting the marriage bed scene between Carolyn and Jeb Hawkes, of course). Pretty timid for a daytime soap, even back then I imagine.
In fact, Joshua and Abigail seem a bit dim for not having at least entertained the notion that pregnancy might have been the reason for the hasty surprising marriage.

I noticed a strange phenomenon that occurs while watchng these episodes. When characters like Andre and Barnabas speak about the irrationality of believing in supernatural things like witches and then point out the absurdity of people like Trask for believing in them, we find ourselves cheering them on - until we realize that, in this context at least, Andre and Barnabas are actually wrong and Trask is right. It creates a bit of a cognitive dissonance in the viewer.
