Favorite Part - I'd have to say it's very close between early 1897 and late 1897. The middle for the most part seemed to drag for me, and I started losing some interest. I love the early part because of the Collins family interactions: Judith, Edward, Quentin, Carl...but late 1897 kept me in suspense.
Which character do you find the most engaging/interesting? - Well, Barnabas always captures my full attention,
but I'd have to say Kitty, Judith and Quentin for this storyline's characters.
Which character impels you to fast-forward? - The Amanda/Tim/Tate's creations stuff. Aristede...I just can't stand him. There's something about him, I don't even know what it is... but I don't fast forward, though I was tempted.
Which romantic pairing do you favour? - I really love Quentin and Beth, they're among my favorite couples on the show. I'll admit I enjoyed some of the interaction between Quentin and Angelique though. I also liked Barnabas and Kitty, but I wish she would've retained her edge a bit.
Which couple makes you gag everytime they appear on screen? - Quentin and Amanda. It just rings completely false.
If you could change one aspect of this storyline, what would it be? - I thought the Petofi storyline started to drag. I think he was a great villain in the sense that I absolutely loathed him, but they over did it with him, IMO. I wish Kitty could've been brought in a lot earlier and been on longer. And Amanda wouldn't have been Quentin's "true love". Sorry, that's more than one...
Would you have wanted it to go on longer (knowing what comes next...)? - I tend to get anxious to return to present time and its characters regardless, but 1897 was a good storyline and there were several things I truly liked about it.
Who was best dressed? - I loved a lot of the clothes, but Barnabas and Kitty would be my picks.
Most funny? - Carl. Charity/Pansy really annoyed me after a fashion.
Best looking? - Barnabas and Quentin & Kitty and Angelique.
