That's Amore!

Maybe that DS storyline could have been entitled "Angelique Bouchard and Her Two Husbands" or, possibly "Roger Collins and His Two Wives."  Then again, it might be called "Quentin Collins and His MANY Women."  Can you think of any other similar Dark Shadows storylines?

"Amanda Harris and Her Two Loves," which are, of course, Amanda Harris and Olivia Corey.

 I've really enjoyed Joan Bennett's deployment of Judith Trask. . .I was just thinking the other day how i missed the sibling rivalry and barbs. . .i wanted a few and Judith does it so well.  So they tossed us the delicious scene of her telling Edward and Quentin. . .good fun.  BUT BUT I digress. . .As much as i've admired Judith --i think Joan should've played Judith a bit like Grayson does Julia. . you can see Julia is dying to have her clothes ripped off by Barnabas and so she'd certainly jump at any chance.. .that's the kind of tension that would make Judith and Trask break the laws of society and God by marrying what. . .a week after his wife's death?  But you see him being manipulative certainly but i didn't see repressed sexual need in either of them. . .I don't know if its because the direction of the storyline came as a shock (I can't imagine it seemed pretty clear very early on) or because the two actors were too shy to do it, given their age difference or something?  

Now, the wedding night, who wants to talk about that, **did they?** He made it pretty clear he expected her to be a "proper wife". . ..But the next morning, Judith doesn't seem all aglow, did he disappoint?

That's the worst problem (among many) with this whole plot twist.  The Judith who inherited the family fortune simply wouldn't have tolerated, much less encouraged, the attentions of the odious Trask.  She'd have told him to come round to the servent's entrance, not the front hall, thank you very much.

And if she HAD gone completely off the rails at the thought of a man-of-her-own after all these years, I have no doubt he would have proved so great a disappointment that afterward,  she would have beckoned him to see the view from the upstairs bedroom window.....and shoved him out!!

I don't know about Jerry Lacy, but having seen Bennett in various film noirs going all out (her most tawdry role being Kitty in Scarlet Street) and being very convincing as such (one of my favorite lines of hers in Woman on the Beach goes something like, "A tramp? Of course, I'm a tramp! Didn't you know?" and then she tosses her head back and laughs cruelly or something), I doubt it had anything to do with her being shy.

I suspect one of two things: either she was encouraged to play the role sedately or she just didn't care enough to go the extra step.

Now, the wedding night, who wants to talk about that, **did they?** He made it pretty clear he expected her to be a "proper wife". . ..But the next morning, Judith doesn't seem all aglow, did he disappoint?[/b]

I would assume that they did and frankly, I would assume that she wanted to--that she is physically attracted to him does come across. But she's playing a 50ish spinster, who was most certainly a virgin. Somehow I don't see Gruesome Greg being tender and gentle for their wedding night and plus, she's got the guilt of having acted improperly, wife barely cold in her grave, etc.
