The ONLY ommissions:
no mention of the Dan Curtis Frankenstein or Adam & Eve on DS.

But they're not.  Two other somewhat faithful adaptations-- the 1977 low budget Hammer-ish Terror of Frankenstein and the 2004 mini-series that starred DS' Alec Newman-- were also omitted.  With so many movie interpretations, including comedic and children's versions and even Blaxploitation and soft porn, and plays, toys and other stories, I don't think it's surprising that things got skipped, especially since some reviews cite other mistakes (errors in details) in her book.

Is that why the miniature merry-go-round was such a notable feature of Gerard's haunting?

Ha ha, good point!

The only person that reacted to Quentin was Amy, and her reaction (being very frightened of him) tells us that she certainly remembers Quentin's ghost haunting Collinwood. So it's also not a stretch to think that David remembers as well

As mscbryk mentioned, David's reaction was captured in the recent slide show.  He recognized Quentin's music ("Quentin's back!"), and after following it to the West Wing, he fled in terror when he realized a man was hiding in there.

I always thought it was a mistake for the present day characters to remember Quentin's haunting, but once history is changed by time travel, how DO you address the issue of a circular paradox except to have the change take place from the point the time travelers return?  In a circular paradox, everything to date is changed due to the time travel, yet the motivation for visiting the past sprang from the original history.  Spoiler:
In 1967, Vicki's trip through time changed nothing, thereby creating no circular paradox.  In 1968, some characters recall what occurred at Collinwood before Barnabas altered Quentin's history, so Barnabas' earlier motivation to visit 1897 remains reasonably intact.  In a later storyline, however, Gerard's haunting was apparently totally averted, so there would have been no need for Barnabas, Julia and Stokes to visit 1840 in the changed timeline, and therefore Gerard's ghost would be free to wreak havoc as it did originally...

I is for Italy-- where Jason McGuire learned to add a lemon peel to his coffee.  Alexis Stokes worked there too.

Raycheetah, is this a new problem?  I'm able to paste into my reply now.  Since right click is disabled on the Forums, are you using Ctrl+V or Edit/Paste?

hard to believe but it's true...

it's often said(and indeed i always believed)that the only television set ever seen on the show was in buffie harrington's room in 1970 parallel time.

but there is yet one more!i have been watching the 1966 episodes and on dvd set one episode 27 there is a scene where burke devlin visits his private dick stuart bronson at the 'bangor pine' hotel...and lo and behold there is a t.v. set in his room

Page 1 of this topic, reply #2 links to a screen grab of it.   [santa_wink]

I don't see a banner. Where is it? [santa_huh]

I think she's referring to the image that appeared for a day in the little TV on the main page.

Here is the link.

The TinyURL isn't working.

The first Surgeon General's report on smoking was in 1964.  By 1966, a warning had already appeared on the side of cigarette packs (Cigarette Smoking May Be Hazardous to Your Health) for a year, though it wasn't until the 80s that SG's warning labels specifically addressed the dangers of smoking during pregnancy.
