Wow, I did enjoy Mme Findley - a little overblown but kind, and like most mediums (or is that media?  ) totally in over her head.

Hmm, Julia might be a good fit for HBC, but that might be a little too much like the relationship she had as Mrs. Lovett with Depp's Todd.

Burton does have a history of taking brunette actresses and making them blonde (Winona Ryder in Edward Scissorhands, Christina Ricci in Sleepy Hollow).  So, Helena as as Angelique seems almost a foregone conclusion.  TBH, I rather like her and she certainly has a great chemistry with Depp.

Now where's that shot of Joe Haskell's bared butt cheeks? 

WHAT?!?!?
 
Is there an outtake somewhere I am not aware of? 

Okay, I'll bite....

Besides Burke, who else resided in Room 24?

What is the pedigree of the Old House photos featuring Frid?  He is dressed in 18th Century attire so I am guessing this would have been in the lead up to 1795 rather than when Barnabas first appeared?

Here's another weird idea that's come to me:  Vicki looks like Betty, and Betty is a diminutive of Elizabeth, so another explanation might be that Betty Hanscomb is Liz.  She used that name as an alias when she was hanging out in town and didn't want folks to know she was a Collins.  Liz is the one who sat for the portrait of Betty, and perhaps it was "Betty" who then got into some trouble and gave up her child for adoption.  Liz married Paul Stoddard soon after, and "Betty" left town and "died."

BTW, I like Julianka's theory.  It would be really cool if Bill Malloy was Vicki's Dad [spoiler]and later returns from the grave not only to avenge his murder but save the life of his daughter.  Maybe that is why Victoria (after David) is the first resident of modern day Collinwood to see and communicate with ghosts.[/spoiler]

I've always thought he had more than a professional regard for Liz, and what if in their youths Bill and Ned Calder were suitors of Liz?

And it doesn't look like it did.  It looks square.  I'd surmise that at most, there were six rooms on the 2nd floor on either side and five to six on the ground floor on either side, with a central foyer staircase in the center, at least that is how I am sketching the inside (I have a nutty dream of one day owning some land in the country and I would like to build a house that looks like the Old House on it)...
