And Even Yet Another New Slideshow

After today's quote -

Page 55 - Victoria: 'It's like walking back in time...'

- the script explains:

Victoria stops in mid-sentence, stunned by the PORTRAIT she sees on the wall. A beautiful young woman with long, black hair and dark eyes... identical to Victoria.

Though, of course, in the pilot the portrait doesn't depict a woman "with long, black hair and dark eyes... identical to Victoria" because the pilot's Vicki is a blonde and the woman in the portrait is also a blonde. But all will be revealed once the slideshow shares an official still that includes the portrait...

Really looking forward to the photo!  I was wondering if any images of the Josette boudoir set were available.

Given what you already found for the Old House, I'm not sure what to expect.  Versailles goes to the Taj Mahal?

Today's quote -

Page 55 - Victoria: 'That portrait...'

- was dropped in the pilot.

Really looking forward to the photo!

Well, because today's quote from Vicki was dropped, the photo won't appear until tomorrow...

Before Barnabas is scripted to deliver today's quote, the script explains:

Barnabas follows Victoria's eyes to the canvas, his longing impossible to hide.

But with regard to today's quote -

Page 55 - Barnabas: 'The resemblance is striking. Her name was Josette. Josette DuPres.'

- what Barnabas actually says in the pilot is "It’s what I wanted to show you. The resemblance is... striking. (pause) Her name was Josette. Josette DuPres."

Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.

Beautiful photo.  Thanks so much for this, MB.

What Gothick said. The portrait is lovely, too.

The script explains -

Pulling away from the portrait, Victoria moves through the room, amazed by the hand-crafted furniture and jewelry.

- before it gets to today's quote:

Page 55 - Barnabas (CONT'D): 'The first Barnabas Collins was devoted to her. They were engaged to be married.'

And in addition to that, Barnabas also says "There was a time when this house was filled with light... and laughter." And that was most probably added because, as we'll recall (see reply #595), Barnabas was actually scripted to say that in the dropped scene on the way to Josette's room.

Thank you again for all the wonderful pics of Alec Newman. I start every day with a swoon! 

   You're welcome, DarkLady. Glad the pics make your day! 

Beautiful photo.  Thanks so much for this, MB.

The entire slideshow is a labor of love for us. 

Very nice!

Next up the script explains:

Barnabas' reverie is interrupted by the sound of a MUSIC BOX paying a somber theme. Barnabas turns, startled to find Victoria holding the small, silver box.
(And the script does say "paying," though one might presume it should be "playing.")

And it's at that point that today's quote comes up:

Page 56 - Victoria: 'I'm sorry. It was on the vanity. It must have been Josette's'

Though in the pilot Vicki actually says "I'm sorry. It was on the table." And then she asks "Was it Josette's?"

And the script also explains:

Barnabas stares at Victoria with incredible longing. Gentle, he takes the music box from her, staring into the works.
(And the script does say "gentle," though one might presume it should be "gently.")

Unfortunately, there aren't any publicly available stills featuring the music box. Or at least none that I'm aware of. So, the slideshow will continue to feature the current still until the scene catches up to video that is available from the scene.

After today's quote -

Page 56 - Barnabas: 'A gift. (lost in memories) Legend has it that the first Barnabas Collins gave her this on the day he asked her to be his wife.'

- the script explains:

Pain etched across his face, Barnabas listens to the music.

Next the script explains:

As it plays, Victoria moves closer to him.

And today's quote comes up:

Page 56 - Victoria: 'It's lovely... but with a hint of melancholy.'
