LOL, Lydia. I think it's explained in that same conversation-- that he's still a child, and was entrusted to Barnabas by Oberon and Haza.
Megan and Philip are doing such a bang-up job with their own supervisory responsibilities.![[rleyeb]](http://www.dsboards.com/SMF/Smileys/classic/rleyeb.gif "Roll Eyes(Blue)")
Since Julia found a Monroe canvas in #911 that was "almost the same painting as the Tate," why didn't she hand that one over to Stokes instead of the second landscape?
The great and powerful Harrison Monroe has a very familiar front door.
Because we'd all be poking fun at it?

Oh good point. That piece is even called Angelique's Spook.

Julia already blamed Barnabas for manipulating Grant's memory, and now she's accusing Grant of faking it. She treated him for the head injury, so why is she accepting every scenario except that he might actually have amnesia?
And her excuse that she was in Quentin's room to look at paintings was so incredibly lame. But a few scenes later, she and Liz were in the West Wing looking at paintings!
Alex drew a coiled snake, and then Elizabeth entered the shop sporting a snake pin-- neither of which I'd ever do because I hate snakes. Liz either got some layering or a new hairdresser because her do is softer and doesn't resemble a helmet anymore.
Oh, I wrote that quote down. David asked Julia if Quentin was back, and said, "I sensed it in my room. And then when I got there I heard his music."
Leave the picture. Take the cannoli.

From the voiceover: "Sunshine lies peacefully on the walls of Collinwood..."
Nice.
"...but inside, dark terror stalks Paul Stoddard."
I've seen the stalking dark terror, and its name is Donna McKechnie's lashes!
I could be wrong, but judging by how uncomfortable she looked puffing on a cigarette, I'm guessing that Donna was not a smoker.
I think Olivia's lounging pjs (?) are ugly, her fur coat doesn't do a thing for me, and I don't like her poofy hair. Okay, done now.
It was sweet of GH to seamlessly prompt Don B when he forgot his line.
Julia: "Will you put yourself in my hands for as long as is necessary, and stay in Collinsport?"
Grant: "Sure, why not? As long as the drinks are on the house."
If that didn't sound like Quentin, I don't know what would.
Carolyn-at-8 was played by the uncredited Lisa Ross.
Did the red flowers in the urn on Grant's bedside table arrive via I-Ching from 1897?
It's nice to get a peek at places we've never seen before. In this ep, we see 2 doors on the unseen wall of the Collinwood foyer. To get there, Paul and Julia walked past the grandfather clock (and you can see the side of clock when looking out into the foyer from inside one of the rooms [along with a camera and a pile of cable wires, but I digress]). However, the placement of a corner to the left of those doors makes no sense, Paul pointed in the wrong direction toward the drawing room, and Julia would've had to zigzag to reach Paul the way she did. And I really need to stop obsessing over props and sets.![[cheesyb]](http://www.dsboards.com/SMF/Smileys/classic/cheesyb.gif "Cheesy(Blue)")

It seemed to me that the girl's eyes were brown, but the camera can do strange things. We know that Nancy Barrett's eyes are blue, and I think probably Alexander's eyes are supposed to be blue, but I'm not sure of that.I think you can tell from MB's pics of them in the Robservations for this ep that Alex's eyes are blue and young Carolyn's are brown.
I've always assumed that Barnabas deliberately caused Quentin's amnesia in the hospital room, an assumption so automatic on my part that it never occurred to me that there could be any other cause. I hate the idea that the amnesia could have come from the accident, because that would make it a really tired plotpusher. But it wouldn't be the first plotpusher ever seen in Dark Shadows.Hmm, I bet a case could be made for either scenario. If Julia hadn't accused Barnabas of wiping his memory, I probably would have gone completely with the tired plotpusher explanation, but now I'm just not sure.
Quote
When Quentin was under hypnosis, he mentioned some male who had threatened him. I figured that was a vague memory of Barnabas threatening him in the hotel room, but it could also have been a vague memory of Barnabas's cold, cruel face as Barnabas ran him down.IF his amnesia was caused by the trauma, I'm thinking that it was more likely a memory of Barnabas' murderous intent in the hospital since it happened after the accident. In other words, he would have forgotten everything up to and including the accident, but I'm just guessin'.
And Ms. Corey wins the Give Quentin Free Room and Board Sweepstakes! Julia can't compete as a sugar mama, aw.Hah!

Chris: "Julia, you and I have to discover whose portrait is under that landscape."
Julia: "There's only one man to ask."
Oh my god!!! Professor Stokes is an expert consultant on handwriting, paranormal activity, the I-Ching... and now art? The man is practically a super hero!
Except for the addition of an open doorway next to the fireplace, Stokes' living room set is identical to the room we saw in Mrs. Fillmore's home in Collinsport. It has the same front door, the same half-paneled back wall with shuttered windows (already used multiple times, including Seaview house, the 2nd Worthington Hall, and Frank Garner's office) and the same brick fireplace (once part of Rev. Trask's room). But of course his home is in Rockport, so Stokes can't be living in the same house occupied by Mrs. Fillmore in 1897, and didn't Megan recently mention something about a Fillmore farm?
While Stokes is handling the so-called x-ray of the painting, you can get just enough of a very brief glimpse of it to make out a spine and a heart.
Professor Osmund was played by Ronald Dawson, who will later play the nervous records clerk in 1995.
Lydia, I know you got your answer after seeing a couple more eps, but it's information we did get before; this is from #820:
The reason that Amanda didn't age has nothing to do with her portrait.![[wink2]](http://www.dsboards.com/SMF/Smileys/classic/wink2.gif "Wink #2")
But I suppose that at this point, one could assume that she doesn't age because she was never born.
Didn't Gregory destroy that one?

The last time we saw a Tate portrait of Amanda, it was bricked up with Trask in Quentin's room. I do not see how the portrait we saw today could be the same one, because even if Tim Shaw extracted the portrait of Amanda from Quentin's room when he was replacing bricks with panels, by that time Tate had left Collinsport and there would be no reason for him to come back again. So maybe Tate painted multiple pictures of his ideal woman, and today's picture was originally painted before his stay in Collinsport, and put in storage.
Lydia, I know you got your answer after seeing a couple more eps, but it's information we did get before; this is from #820:
Oh, her, says Petofi, looking over Charles' shoulder at the sketch he's working on--I never understood why you persist in painting that same portrait over and over again. I told you, says Tate, annoyed. You're a grown man, says Petofi, only little boys invent "ideal women." I don't want to go over this again, says Tate--I like to paint her because she's the only thing in this world that really belongs to me.
Amanda's portrait is revealed, sans any Dorian Gray surrogate aging, but then no one on DS ever seemed to think that Amanda's Tate portrait should keep her young too. Maybe it was silently assumed by some characters, but the writers seem to have overlooked this idea.
The reason that Amanda didn't age has nothing to do with her portrait.
But I suppose that at this point, one could assume that she doesn't age because she was never born.Quote
Anyway, moments after the portrait is revealed, we cut immediately to the room where it really ought to be, where we saw it last time, in Q's room and Greg Trask's getaway place!
Didn't Gregory destroy that one?

JB and Frid get star billing, but KLS gets to tout a line of clothing from Junior Sophisticates Co. of NY.
I wish Maggie had asked Paul Stoddard what evidence he had for his wild accusations. Granted, he has very little evidence that anybody is going to believe, but Maggie doesn't know that, and the question should have been asked. And maybe it would have gotten Paul talking in a straight line.I'm thinking that once Paul got to the part about Barnabas leading a plot against everybody in the house-- one that includes a little boy and those nice newcomers at the antique shop-- she'd pretty much decided that he was delusional.
Quote
I keep being surprised at how well Roger and Paul know each other. Back in 1967, when Jason was around, Roger told Carolyn and Vicky that he didn't know much about Elizabeth's marriage because he was still at school. But I suppose he came home for the wedding, and for holidays.Your theory is supported by this scene in which Roger and Liz quarrel in private (lol) about selling the house:
Don't tell me it's because of Paul, says Roger, because I know better than that. She whirls around to look at him. You know nothing at all! she proclaims. I know that this blissful marriage you were supposed to have had was not so blissful at all, says Roger cruelly. You know nothing of the sort, says Liz--you were away at school. Roger gives her a sickly grin--we had holidays from school, he says, I was home then, and saw enough to know I'm rightBut it doesn't explain Paul's recollection in #900 that Roger was pouting on the night he (Paul) went away.
