We were totally surprised and wondered if JF had left the show, but at some point there was an article in either 16 or TV guide saying that the switchboards had been overloaded at ABC and that JF was on Vacation.  Then we wondered how they were going to bring him back.  Exciting times.

The backs of some fireplaces were probably removable to be able to shoot across the gas flame logs to the person sitting in front of the fire .  I wonder if they used the same gas logs for all the fireplaces or they had more than one. I can recall even as a child that they were not lighting a real fire except when someone would throw a paper into the gas logs and it would really smoke up.

This is the third time I've watched hurricane Betsy and it is just as awful as I recalled from the first time.  Now knowing that Alexandra was pregnant, I can see why she would have wanted out of this episode.  Then Tom Jennings returns which is one of the best of times.

The writers have stated in the DVD interviews that originally Laura was coming from Phoenix to fight for custody of David and they thought it was too run of the mill  so she became a Phoenix

I too wondered why Danielle was in Collinsport and why would a worldly woman be interested in Peter Bradford.  If I were Danielle, he would have bit the dust minutes after meeting him Assuming the experiment went right this time and the original life force died and that is why Eve has Danielle's memories, should not she then have a French accent.? Is she not superhuman strong like Adam?  And why hasn't she gone on a murderous rampage already considering she is the most evil woman to have ever lived?   How do we know that Adam and Eve's children would be superhuman?  Why not make Julia create a monstor making factory?  I would by faster than  Adam and Eve having children and then I presume mating with each other to further the race.  So many questions to be answered.

exciting episode.  When will Barnabas ever learn that he can never count Angelique out and that her love knows no bounds.

They could have had Elizabeth return married to a man who looks remarkably like  the Count.  I'm shocked to think that they didn't do it.
