"When Petofison peered over the railing from the top of the stairs, he was shocked to see Jonathan Frid's gloves and script, where he'd dropped them on his way out of the studio the night before, on the floor below!"

Magnus,

Could you please not mix characters with actors in your fill-ins?  I.e., it would be Henesy who sees Frid's script on the floor, or Petofi/Jamison who sees something left behind by Barnabas.

Is it still okay to have stagehands, crew members & wobbling sets breaking the 4th wall in fill-ins?

Dan Curtis thought so....

Whatever is in the pic is fair game.

I hope it was clear I wasn't saying you can't talk about what's really happening in the capture.

We never see stagehands in captures, so that would be no.   In fact, if we can't say this or that is happening off camera, that eliminates at least half the fill-ins I do, and many that others do.

Saying that characters or actors are reacting to something that can't be seen in the capture is perfectly fine. Midnite simply asked that characters and actors not be mixed. Those are two completely distinct worlds. In the characters' world, Collinwood, Collinsport, or wherever the capture is set is a real place. It is their reality. The studio and sets are the actors' reality, and only the actors' reality.

Okay... I was reacting to the answer to SaraMonster though.   As for the original joke, it doesn't work w/o that mixing, but I might be able to reword something like that creatively to make the joke acceptable.
