"My favorite is the ones between Barnabas and Josette at the start of 1795, I think because until that point, all I knew of was the misery and tragedy between them, and then there they were in the old house, both alive, obviously in love and so happy. I wish they had more moments together before Angelique started her magic. "
I'm also a Josette/Barnabas fan and strongly feel the writers were VERY remiss in not giving those two a little more time to develop before Angelique zoomed in. But, from what little we got- I felt the somewhat (in my opinion) chaste kisses between the two was an approriate and interesting acting choice (if that were the case). It did seem initially Josette was a bit immature and prissy BUT I also sensed that beneath Josette's timidity lay a warm, compassionate and willing companion to Barnabas who would have moved heaven and earth to become a good wife to him and be all that he wanted her to be. Josette's potential was just aching to be released. How KLS managed to convey that in the short amount of time alloted to Josette as a person is a small tribute to her sensitivity to the character.
