...tell him her real opinion of dr.hoffman."she's a jerk!J.E.R.K."

i'm assuming i have IE because i have the purple theme.

i never did get to see that elusive "lightning" theme but this is much better than the default blue.

i never really think of carolyn as being "nice".she certainly didn't start out that way.

she grows over time and can certainly act nice but there's always an air of petulance about her.she's so highly strung that even when she is acting nicely i sense that there is always the danger of someone or something crossing her and her lashing out.

now vicki on the other hand takes "nice" to it's apotheosis.often to dizzying results.maggie starts out spunky but over time becomes similarly nice while never quite reaching the apex(or nadir depending on your viewpoint)of vic.

perhaps it has something to do with nancy barrett's acting style.even when the script calls for carolyn to be good she has a fiestiness about her that doesn't translate to mere "niceness".

since it appears that we cannot presently include spoilers in our posts could the spoiler icon at least be returned to the choice of message icons?

of all the actresses on the show it was nancy barrett who ended up surprising me the most with her versatility.she brought such nuance not only to the different characters she played but also to carolyn during various storylines.

i'm currently watching the late 1967 episodes.here carolyn is under a certain "influence".
i just love her attitude and mannerisms during this period.very different from "regular" carolyn.her scenes with julia are swoonsworthy.the level of cattiness being achieved here is divine.

she speaks one line in particular that is really quite throwaway but her delivery makes it an all-time favorite of mine.upon rather snottily informing julia that she's better change for dinner she says "cocktails in a half hour don't be late".i don't know why but i just adore it!

i think carolyn during this time is my "favorite" carolyn.i enjoy her during most of the other storylines(the exception being during the adam plot when she infuriated me)but here she's the best.

so my question is not who is your favorite nancy barrett character on the show(ie.millicent/charity/leiticia)but which version of carolyn stoddard do you like the most?

well put mysterious.

it certainly was possible for vicki to develop a keen interest the collins family history.especially under the eager tutelage of someone she admired.

as far as her interest in the past being rather limited to the time that josette lived i guess that makes more sense than i thought because i had forgotten that vicki had a long history with josette.

because barnabas takes such total possession of josette upon his arrival it's easy to forget that she was already an established presence that vicki was intimately aquainted with through contacts made during the matthew morgan/laura collins storylines.

...the most fun he had had at a costume party since he,bill malloy and matthew morgan came as "three mrs.johnsons" to the cannery's annual drag ball.
