It's so cute how they always say "I MUST" or "You MUST."

Yeah - Barnabas was always big on that - telling everyone what they MUST do.  (Willie & Julia in particular)
Also, did you ever notice when someone asks him to explain - what or why - he never has time?  LOL
"I can't explain it right now."  "I don't have time to explain."  Very busy guy - has a lot on his mind.

MANNERISMS:

Julia:  Her gasp. 
         Raises the back of her hand to the vicinity of her face, elbow sticking out horizontally.
         Naturally, Magda does the same thing.

         When she's talking to Barnabas, she precedes the sentence with his name twice.
        "Barnabas.....Barnabas what are we going to do?"

Quentin:  Wets his lips a lot, particularly if he has to kiss someone in the next 30 seconds.
              I must have about 3000 captures of him with his tongue out.  [crazy]

Barnabas:  Always holds his hands in front of him as if he's about to commence with a recitation.
               (Either that, or he's preparing to break out into an aria from Tosca)

 ;D

Ah, that's because she's trying to get Barnabas AND little Barnabas' attention...if ya know what I mean.  [naughty]
Well, Ya know it's his other brain doin' most of the thinking when he's pining after SYT's younger than I am... ;D  ::)  LOL

LOL, Connie. [wave] He also worried his ring now and then (twirling it around...not too obviously though). ;)

Julia would also say "Tell me--" often enough (gotta have her say that and gasp at least once in certain bits of fanfic...but i digress... ;))
She'd also purse her lips quite often:


(well, maybe that's not the best example, but...ya know)  :-*

And occasionally she'd do this lip-pout (that I think Magda did too... tilt of the head, jut out that chin in either a thoughtful pose or pout defiantly at the schmuck in front of you kinda look?  :D)  Does anyone know what I'm talking about? LOL



Or there was the 'don't you DARE give me that shit' look:



And of course her occasional evil smiles during awkward situations were priceless:



I just love the close-ups of her expressive gestures on the show...{squeal}  I could go on ALL day, I tell ya.

Obsessively yours,

Heather   ^-^

Heather, those captures are PRICELESS!  I loaned some tapes to a friend years ago and I remember he came back and was pursing his lips into a round O and saying it was GH's standard reaction to EVERYTHING.  made me giggle.

I love the grumpy pout.  I could watch Grayson forever... sigh.

btw, we boys don't really appreciate our family jewels being referred to as "Little"... AHEM!

     I always remember Julia twisting her gloves.  I don't remember any of the other ladies even wearing gloves.  I thought it added a classy touch to Julia's character(strong but still the lady).

Julia does have the BEST facial expressions!!  Her nose flares up in the earlier episodes when she's demanding that Barnabas NOT see Vicki!!  She's a hoot.
