Last night I watched two of Jane Draper's episodes of DS. She played Suki Forbes in 1795.
It's a testament to Draper's skill that I was actually cruising for Natalie episodes (and yes, fast forwarding through my tape, a practice that I do realize some deplore but I'm just a shameless hussy when it comes to my practice of the Cult of Grayson Hall). When Suki walked into the Eagle, I hit the play button and commented to my roomie, whose jaw had dropped: "I just gotta watch Suki do her thing!"
I just love it, too, that Suki had a brand new wardrobe for Day 2 and her arrival at "the Great House." She was clearly a lady who did things with style (and who knew how to SHOP, even in a dump like 18th century Collinsport!).
I'm really really sorry that Draper did not return in a recurring role. She's up there with Cavada Humphrey, Elizabeth Eis, Abe Vigoda, Anita Bolster and other Special Guest Players on DS, in my book.
