I thought that maybe Bruno's fire was happening in the same room, with the same corrodor and corridor window outside, that Jamison and sister's did in 1897, where Barnabas saved them. Probably just a similar arrangement of rooms.
Sabrina: "Cyrus... now that we are alone... I hope that you will tell me what really happened after you left here that other night!" This just may be the most unnaturally-read line I've ever heard an actor speak, with the possible exception of every line of Sky Rumson's.
Alexis is so gracefully and magnetically spooked by silence in the house, having to reveal every bit of her spookedness to Q verbally. She exhudes personality, yet is a scaredy-cat. In bad storylines, DS strains to convince understandably fickle viewers that lots of scariness is going on, by having characters go on and on and on about how very utterly mortified they are, especially when nothing's actually happening! It's a fatal writing flaw, and I'm sticking to that even though I can't point to any bit of learning I've ever had on the subject. I'm an audience member who's been screwed with a couple dozen times too often, that qualifies me to speak!
What happened to the days when someone would see you'd been through something, and offered you a drink, because you "need it"? What a perfect host Cyrus is, even to Bruno!
