Natalie's Premonition
« on: March 28, 2002, 10:30:47 PM »
Today, Countess Natalie told Josette that the Tarot cards had predicted her own death.  Those of us who have seen this story line before know that Natalie is one of the few people to survive the year, so what could she really mean?
 
Did the cards lie to Natalie?  Did she misinterpret the spread?  Is she lying to Josette about the reading to pressure her into leaving town?  Do you think that she was picking up images from an alternate timeline?  (When Barnabas next returns to 1795 and Ben strangles her.)  Is this just a device of the writers to keep us in suspense?

Any thoughts?

Yep, just a ploy for suspense... Or, more possible, the writers did not know what they were going to do at this point!

Probably a ruse to encourage Josette to leave (for her own good).

I agree with Patti--Natalie used this fabrication to urge Josette to leave Collinsport.  She knows how much Josette loves her and wouldn't want to put her at risk--so she agreed to go.  And Natalie knew exactly what she was doing!

Love, Robin

I think in this particular case she was lying to Josette (who is now vying for the "most-in-denial" award with Vicki) to get her to get out of Dodge.

But generally speaking Natalie's tarot readings don't impress me much.  Like Grandmama in 1897 she seems to have a thing for them, but she either isn't much on the interpreting the cards correctly thing or she doesn't act on what she finds.

I think Natalie was lying to Josette.  After her seeing Barnabas she would have used any ploy to get Josette out of Collinwood.  Josette does not fear enough for her own life so she thought she would convince her that  Natalie herself needed protecting.  Seeing Barnabas scared the pants off her.  

What was with that beauty mark x thing?  It reelly bugged me.  It also reminded me of a story. Oh no, not again,  My friend and I were at a bar, when I was a SYT and we were talking to this guy.  My friend told him he had something on his face and went to wipe it away, only it was a mole. hehe.  The next time we saw him he had had it removed.

It was a spade( from a suite of cards) mark. It was the rage in France (and also Collinwood) during the 18th Century for aristocrats.

Hi Prof. Stokes, The Countess just said this to lure Josette away from Collinwood once & for all. She knew Josette was in danger, on account of seeing Barnabas herself. She also knew that Josette would leave if she thought her Aunt's own life had been in danger.
