miss winthrop, i'm not sure of the ep.# but the look in question appears in o.s.v.52.i was quite taken aback...it's so 80's.
patti, we are still talking about "maidens",but it was pointed out i spelled it wrong on the previous thread.it's probably still wrong .

the show's costuming always has me up in arms.in the past i complained of vicki's limited wardrobe.but in the eps. i watched over the weekend vicki dons a lovely new tomato-red(yes,sleeveless)dress with a black patent belt and full skirt! it's a new silhouette for vic..julia continues to please in finely tailored looks.but the prize went to cassandra.after a psychedelic caftan moment,she appears in a very 1980's looking ensemble of a short purple skirt and cropped,shoulder padded poppy-red jacket.with her glossy black wig she looks for all the world like joan collins.

when vicki "returns" to the present from her journey into the past [spoiler]barnabas becomes obsessed with the idea that she learned his secret while there.he places vicki under his spell and convinces her to go away with him so she will never reveal what she may know.en route to said getaway they get into the carcrash(my fave).afterwards the story goes foreward to dr. lang's "treatment" of barnabas.he seems to then loose all interest in vicki's potential knowledge of the past.why?
second part.once vicki is no longer under barnabas' spell,doesn't she think it odd that she was about to marry him?[/spoiler]

emeraldrose...i really enjoyed your comments on these eps.please keep us posted on your thoughts.remind me,did you ever see the show before at all?or is this your first ever viewing?a lot of fans who watched the show on vhs only saw the later barnabas eps. and then saw the early ones when mpi released them later.

you guys are making me so nostalgic...these were(again)the eps. that hooked me.i remember vicki wearing her hair up in that scene where she walks into the drawing room,books in arms,to find david.wasn't he hiding behind the drapes?she was so "miss winters;governess" in those days.i think this was the first time david mentioned his mother specifically.foreshadowing of laura.i wonder if the writers knew then what laura was really going to be about?

i wonder how willie...weak and drained of blood...could explain to barnabas all of the technological advancements since his entombment.as well as the new layout up at collinwood.i wonder how barnabas felt having his old aunt abigail greet him at the door during his first visit.was abigail,so cruel and persecutorial in her life,paying her karmic dues by being reincarnated as a maid in house she was once a "mistress" in?

julia99, i have a question about your quote "my fans are legion".did ms. hall ever say that? it's pretty fab.i've never seen her in anything else, does anyone know if she did other movies/t.v.?

b. had one smoking jacket-the black and grey brocade i believe-that he wore during the 1795 eps. as well as present day.the show had a rather low wardrobe budget.
