For me, one of Roger's top two lines is when everyone is evacuating Collinwood because of Quentin's ghost and he, the last one out, declares WE WILL BE BACK, THIS IS OUR HOME!!

And I hated Joshua Collins, which just proves what a good actor Louis Edmonds was!

A big point was made; Judith was raised by her grandmother.

I can't speak for anyone else, but, since Grandmothers are from 2 generations prior, they tend to be more staid/strict etc. They've also been through alot, so they don't necessarily want to put up with alot of children's nonsense. (Also, that was definitely a time of children 'being seen & not heard'.)

Edward doesn't seem genial or frivilous or warm, but are we giving him the benefit because [spoiler]his wife left him for his brother?[/spoiler]
Edith has watched her Grandmother run the company (a least at some point when Edith & Edward were younger)....so she has seen a woman being 'tough'. Now, I don't want to get on a soapbox  , but I remember my mother (in mid-1970's) having to deal with mortgage co/electric. Everything was in her name (my parents were divorced), yet the men on the phone from aforementioned would tell my college-educated mother to 'have your husband call back so we can explain the charges to him'. 

So, Judith had to deal with everything around the home (and we don't really know how involved with the Collin's business she was) once Grandmama got older/bed ridden.

Why wouldn't/shouldn't she be a powerful woman. Hey, it's either powerful or pitiful, so Good For Judith!!!

allllll my humble 62 cents.....

AngeliqueWins...I believe the Phoenix was every 70ish years, not 100.

Also, Barn (in 1897) remembers her from his youth (circa 1775??).

Hoping that this isn't just DSFMS

Also, Miss_Winthrop, I love when Liz & Roger (well, only Liz does it) defends each other.

Gothick, I hadn't thought of it, but you're right; Malloy seems like a 'local Mainer', who belongs there!

I love David Ford.....

Patti

Just a note & thanks to MB...I'm really enjoying these pics of Barn first arriving.

Thanks!

Patti

Incongruious,,,,,that's the main delight/dismay of DS.

I don't believe there was any mention prior to these eps about Peter/JebEZ/Victoria.

(IMHO, TPTB wanted to draw in the viewers who spiked the 1795 ratings....)

Patti

Dear Cassandra, hope you have a wonderful, happy & healthy birthday!!!

Love,

Patti

Just watched Angel, it's an ep where Darla turns him then he kills his father.
I know (in theory) about 'fathers & sons', but I don't understand why Angel would kills his mother and his kid sister too.

We know Barnabas did not kill Sarah nor Naomi. Yes, they did die, hmm, due to him/his condition, but no way would I picture Barn hurting Sarah or Naomi.

What age did we (a while back) 'suppose' Barn to be during the 1795 storyline?

Barnabas was self-absorbed (but, one could argue nurture/nature; he was the 'landed gentry') but again, not hurt his Mom or sister. (Was there a hint that if Joshua didn't chain Barn, Barn 'might' bite Joshua?)
