so true...although early victoria winters will always remain my favorite character from the show her time in prison during 1795 was the beginning of wishy-washy storylines for her that continued until alexandra moltke made the decision to leave d.s. .

because i watched it over a year ago i tend to view the entire 1795 story through rose colored glasses.
but when i do think back on it i remember finding the tail end rather dull.most of the main players get killed-off.nathan/millicent and vicki/peter were pretty weak as well.and i remember towards the end wanting the story to return to the present(careful what you wish for).

but naomi's final scenes were some of the best ever on the show and the story redeemed itself in it's final episodes.

and clarice blackburn as abigail collins blew me away throughout the entire plot.love her!

amy:"i asked you for GUM not a gun!"

julia:"sorry violet...i mean amy."

how about a "welcome home" party for vicki when she returns to the present from 1795.

to reassure vicki that she was indeed back in the year 1968 that  would be the theme of the party.

to establish the theme the collinwood drawing room could be done up a la andy warhol's factory.tin foil covered walls and silver mylar helium balloons.

perhaps barnabas could serve as a andy warhol  type host...with carolyn as edie sedgwick,maggie as viva and liz as ultra violet.maybe the velvet underground could even play.

the invitations would be a silkscreened image of collinwood done in black and silver diamond dust(very warhol).the ladies would all wear the space-age couture of courreges and paco rabanne.

brandy would of course be served but perhaps dr.hoffman could supply some more psychedelic mood enhancers.

Up until Eve came into the storyline, the Dream Curse / Adam storyline sucked. DVD Collection 8 is horrible to watch from this storyline because the show never got anywhere.

I love Dennis Patrick's characters. Even though he was more better as Jason McGuire, it was great the show thought of him when casting Paul. I can't wait to get the rest of The Leviathan storyline on DVD.

i have to say that i kind of got a kick out of the dream curse storyline.it was the cheesiest thing ever but it used characters like david,sam and mrs. johnson at a time when they otherwise weren't being featured prominently.
but adam...yuck.you're right that the storyline was spinning on it's wheels until eve arrived.she finally provided a bit of resolve to an endless plot.

i watched it but didn't really follow the plot.i had it on in the background while i read and listened to music.but joan bennett was so georgeous then that it was fine background.

i just finished "the bennetts,an acting family"btw.it wasn't something i'd normally read but i really enjoyed it.it gave me a much bigger picture of joan.before i just knew her as elizabeth.

thanks midnite...i'll give it a try.
