Dealing with the next several scenes in the sequence:
Revised 2/27/90
259 INT. DAPHNE'S ROOM
As her eyes suddenly pop open, her stare focused blankly in the distance.
Rising stiffly, she slowly gets out of bed, walks trance-like to the door, opens it, steps barefooted out into the hall.
260 INT. GREAT HALL
Where Julia, Barnabas and Elizabeth are still talking, as Joe reenters having helped carry out the last piece of furniture.
Suddenly, he looks up, reacts o.s..
JOE Daph ... !
The others quickly turn.
261 THEIR POV - DAPHNE
In her nightgown, standing at the top of the stairs, her body rigid, staring down at them.
262 CLOSE - BARNABAS
AND FAST IN ON HIM as he tries to mask his emotions. His eyes are riveted on her.
263 CLOSE - DAPHNE
Staring back at him, locked in his fierce gaze. She raises her arms as if to protect herself, then... she collapses at the top of the stairs.
264 FROM TOP OF STAIRS
With Daphne lying unconscious in the f.g., we SEE Joe bounding up the stairs toward her. Julia and Elizabeth following quickly behind.
He kneels by her, cradles her in his arms, begins gently slapping her face.

And that's where Tuesday's quote -
Page 117/Scene 264 - Joe (frantic): 'Daph! Daph! Come on, baby, wake up!'
- comes up.
And as far as any differences in the dialogue go, at the outset of Scene 260, Barnabas actually delivers an unscripted "Be
very careful with that, Willie" with reference to the clock - and Willie responds with an "Okay, Barnabas" as he picks up the clock - and as Willie takes the clock away, off screen Barnabas delivers an unscripted "My dear cousin, thank you very much. I can't tell you how grateful..." to Liz before being cut off by Joe calling out to Daphne - and as part of Scene 261, Joe delivers an unscripted "What are you doin' outta bed?" off screen - and as part of Scene 262, Joe delivers an unscripted "Hey, are you okay?" - and in Scene 264, as Joe rushes to Daphne's side, he delivers an unscripted "Daph! Daph! ... Daph!" before he reaches her to deliver Tuesday's quote, which is actually delivered as "Daph! Daph! Come on! Daph! Daph! Daph! Hey, come on, come on, come on! Hey, come on! Wake up!"
And as far as any differences in the direction and descriptions go, after Daphne wakes in Scene 259 and makes her way to the doorway of her room, she doesn't actually need to open the door because it's already open - and we can presume that she steps barefooted out into the hall, but we don't actually see her feet (though if this was the original show, we all know she would have gotten out of bed already wearing slippers or even shoes
) - and Scene 260 does not begin with Julia, Barnabas and Elizabeth still talking but instead, as alluded to above and as can be seen in the following capture, with Barnabas telling Willie to be careful -
- as he picks up the clock from the table - and then after Willie picks up the clock, he takes it away as Joe enters the Great Hall and Barnabas thanks Liz - and as can be seen in this next capture -
- after Joe he looks up and he sees Daphne on the landing (though we don't), his reaction (calling out to her) occurs on screen - and while the others do quickly turn to see her, their reaction, as can be seen in the next capture -
- is actually shot from Daphne's POV - and Daphne doesn't actually raise her arms as if to protect herself before she collapses.
