the trailer was singularly unimpressive...


I smell a total dud. [easter_rolleyes]

perhaps...


but by the time she would have available to return to work in 1970, as the been said, the storyline had moved in drastically different directions.

and who knows by that point Curtis might have already had his eye on winding the whole thing down and it just wasn't worth the trouble.

if you interview her again you should ask her.

If Alexandra had a five year contract, why didn't DC file suit and force her to return?
Not a nice thing to do, but he sounds like the kind of aggressive go-getter who would have done exactly that.

who know the legal logistics of that situation? she was let out of her contract and that appeared to be the end of it.

I always thought of Vicki-Carolyn-Maggie as the series' "ingénue trinity". a sisterhood of sorts...

when Vicki left that dynamic was broken irrevocably for me. there was always a void.

I don't really understand the prevailing "either/or" line of thinking on this subject within the fanbase...


that somehow *if* Alexandra had not left the series than somehow that meant less, or even nothing, for KLS. Vicki and Maggie coexisted nicely for years. would Maggie have been taken on as Collinwood governess? no. probably not as long as Vicki was still around.

but there were LOTS of other storyline possibilities for both characters. and really, with her association with Josette being what it was KLS was pretty much guaranteed permanent employment in all time periods if she wanted it.

I loved the scene where eva was reading josh's tarot cards.

despite Dan Curtis' insistence that he'd *only* use Alexandra as Vicki the fact remains that she had a five year contract...


SO he would have had to find something for her to do for the remainder of the series had she not departed under the circumstances that she did. just randomly plunking her down in all these different time periods would have stopped making sense at some point(Vicki in 1840???)so the story would have ended up being structured differently *or* he'd have had to relent and write a new role for her.

it's just the logistics of the situation.

I was impressed by how "overstuffed" it was...


obviously I knew vampires were part of the story and then at the end when the doctor introduced himself as "Frankenstein". but it was so cacophonous. the busy Victorian setting certainly heightened the effect.

in that it sort of reminded me of AHS. season 2 threw in everything but the kitchen sink from alien abduction to demonic possession to Nazi war criminals. do we just suffer from collective attention deficit disorder today and can no longer follow a single thread story? [easter_embarassed]

just caught the first episode...


it's still too early for me to formulate an opinion. it's not really my "genre" so I'm not sure what to think about it. but it was engaging enough that i'll continue to check it out.

interesting...


like eve and jenny I've just always associated megan with marie. but terry would have put an interesting spin on it.

I guess including the time Crawford played a ghost in 1969 it was about a year she was continuously onscreen...


perhaps she was brought back as a "day player" for edith in 1840. she was only in a few episodes.

true. it would appear that no part existed for terry in the "present"...


still it would have been fun seeing her in a fall and a mini. I gather she was not under contract?
