I don't know if this poll is a repeat or not. If so, I'm sorry. This is the first time I've started a poll. [milestone] I was just wondering what you all think about this subject.  [ghost_wink]

I'm pretty sure that one of the writers (Sam Hall, I think, or maybe Gordon Russell) confirmed it at a Fest, so I'm voting yes.  [ghost_tongue2]

I believe that Elizabeth was Victoria's mother.  [ghost_smiley]

At the 2003 DS Fest in Brooklyn, NY, I saw the actors perform Return to Collinwood. It was revealed that Liz was indeed Vicki's mother. I was overjoyed to hear that!  [ghost_cheesy]

Also, after recently re-watching some of the pre-Barnabas episodes, I now believe that the butler, B. Hanscombe, was Vicki's father, and Betty Hanscombe was either Vicki's sister, cousin or aunt.  [ghost_rolleyes]

I too beleive it was B.Hanscombe who Liz  had an affair with and it prodcued Victoria.   And the portrait"POP" painted  was her sister.  I have also been watching the Beginning DVDS.  They are so great.  It is wonderful to finally see how one of my favorite shows began. I am now in The Laura episodes and it is probably gonna turn out to be in the top two of my favorite storylines!  1995 is number one right now.  We will see!! 
If you like DS and want to have a fun  on a Facebook page that is open to all forms of DS and doesn't allow childish behavior like some groups; come on over to DIAESD! You do have to ask to be invited and I will approve you.

There's no need to apologize or wonder about it because that's one of the easier searches, and a good place for you to begin using the feature, since polls are archived in the same place.

Open the Polls Archive board, which you can find inside the Current Talk Archive, and enter your key words into the Search box at the top of the topics list; this will search for results only in that board.

Or, you can get the same results from an advanced search-- which is a link that comes up when you click the Search button in the menu on any page-- by entering your key words and checking only the Polls Archive box.  Again, that will search for results that are only in the PA board.  I hope that helped you with your next poll!

What if VW had been revealed to have been Liz's great-great-great (etc) grandmother because she left Peter and married another Collins in 1795?   Wait, that would have to have been Joshua...

Thanks, Midnite. [ghost_wink] I followed your instructions, and found that this poll is not repetitious. [whew]

When I did my Charles-Delaware-Trollish version of what-would-have-happened-if-DS-had-continued, I did a whole plot-line in which it was revealed that Liz had conceived Vicki while serving as a WAC in New York City during which she had a brief but passionate affair with a young soldier with whom she had fallen madly in love.  He died in the Normandy invasion, and Liz's parents kept her in seclusion in NYC during her pregnancy until early 1945 when she gave birth and her daughter was quickly whisked away to the orphanage.

In the original storyline, Jeremiah and Josette were Liz's direct ancestors so it made more sense that Vickie looked like Josette and the Josette was her guardian angel.  This changed once Barnabas came in the picture and the new writers changed history.  I always thought that Vickie was Liz's daughter and seeing the early episodes and how Joan played the story reinforces this for me.

I voted yes  [ghost_smiley]  And I enjoyed the Return To Collinwood scenario- it seemed a natural fit.
