Everyone complains about Maggie in this story, but don't forget, they are basing it on Rebecca.  She's supposed to be mousy and timid and actually, given the life she's led, does show more spark than that.  And, Quentin is supposed to fly off the handle over any suggestion of anything concerning Angelique.  Sometimes in this story it doesn't always seem to make sense, but just picture it as Rebecca.

The 2nd Mrs. DeWinter was shy but brave.  Maxim was older, aristocratic, also mysterious and moody, and as the story progressed became increasingly withdrawn.  PT Maggie, on the other hand, deals with nearly every situation by running from the room crying.  And PT Quentin is a brute who, at one of his lowest points, orders his wife to her room as if doling out a timeout to a child.  I find their scenes together very nearly intolerable.

PS Hey, what the heck happened to Chris' brother, Tom?  Maybe Tom is the night manager/bartender at the Kit Kat Lounge over in Rockport, ME.

Or perhaps the PT Jennings parents made a different choice and never had Tom, and instead he was born to a multi-millionaire who lavished every conceivable luxury on him - and now he's living in the south of France with his boy-toy, PT Gothick.

But we'll never know...

You're right, Birdie....my Mother actually did tell me that.   

I think what annoyed me most is that they did the scene with Barn and Quentin where he says "If I had a gun with silver bullets, I'd force you to use it on me." Well HELL!  How hard to come by would THAT have been...this is Collinsport!

 .was it when Tom Jennings was midnight snacking on the good red-haired doctor?   

I don't think it's just because I play the piano, but I was so tickled to see two different characters (Alexis and Bruno) tickling the ivories today (Wednesday).  I began asking myself, "Is everybody a pianist?"  I loved Bruno's over-the-top swaying while he casually carried on a conversation with Quentin (how subtle).   

The legendary afghan-now-as-piano-cover added yet another subtle touch.

The way Bruno winced when his blood sample was drawn, you'd think Dr. Longworth had used a screwdriver instead of a hypodermic needle.

i know you live in a basement somewhere(like in the Old House) just plotting 

Actually, I live in one of the highest spots in the city with a view of the water on three sides of my house. And today that water is an amazing color of blue, which is a very nice change from the gray it had been for the last month.

But as for plotting, one can do it just as easily from a penthouse as from a subterranean cavern - not that I'm admitting to doing any plotting, mind you.
