Trask

?!?



Just curious if I missed something or forgot something, but I thought the only people that knew Barnabas was dead were Josette, Ben, Natalie, Joshua, Naomi, Angelique and some servants.  Actually the list seems quite long, anyway, did Trask know Barnabas was dead?

Ben testified that he left for England but when Trask comes face to face with him he says "Your Dead".

If he knew does anyone remember how he knows???


SPOILER - if you haven't watched today's episode.  Although, most of us know it's coming!

BTW - I loved the scene today where Barnabas walled up Trask!

Hi HobbiesDS, Just to fill you in, you haven't missed anything.  You're quite right, and the list is even longer, as Vicky & Peter Bradford know Barnabas is dead also.   Apparently, Josette spilled the beans on that one.  As for how Trask managed to find out, that remains a mystery, I can only sumise that it was Abigail who let him in on the secret.

That was my guess too, Cassandra, but then how did Abigail find out?  Even Millicent didn't know that Barnabas had died, and she's a member of the family (though admittedly a very delicate one.)  I suppose that Joshua could have told her since they were apparently close; either way, I'm sure that Abby caught on when she saw her nephew climbing out of his coffin.

I was wondering about that, too, when it happened.

We know that Peter knows of it - from Vicki, but apparently he knows not to say so.  I'm sure Joshua must have confided in Abigail.  That one doesn't surprise me.  I suppose that she could have told Trask, but at the trial he let it go about him going to England (I suppose Abigail could have told him it was a secret, but how would she explain that to him?).  

However, that's enough people by now - especially with Peter and Trask being outside the family - that I can't believe it never became general knowledge and it came down through history that he went to England.
