If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Saturday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...






[spoiler]Saturday's quote:
Ep #236 (1967) - Barnabas - 'Yes, from now on that will be your name-- a name of great beauty-- and you MUST take it proudly. It's bestowed on you as the best honor I can pay to a mortal woman.'

(Well, if you say so, Barnabas.  [snow_strange])

From "#0235/0236: Robservations 11/6/01:"
Barnabas' plan comes out as he escorts Maggie into Josette's room, which has been lovingly and painstakingly refurbished. "This is your room," he tells her, "just as you left it long, long ago." He calls her Josette and says that will be her name from now on. She repeats the name, wonderingly, questioningly, and sits down to gaze at her reflection in the vanity mirror. They are going to be together from now on, he assures her, and enjoy the happiness they were denied so long ago.
[/spoiler]

Even though this Robservations is during the period with little detail, it references the quote well, though certainly not perfectly...

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Sunday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...






[spoiler]Sunday's quote:
Ep #382 (1795) - Vicki - 'I MUST be very careful tonight. I MUST not look at the hurt in Barnabas' face, questions on the faces of the others. I MUST let no one realize that I know why Jeremiah and Josette have run away.'

From "#0382/0383: Robservations 03/05/02:"
Vicki comes in from visiting the post office bearing more wedding presents for Barn and Josette. She muses that if she ever gets back to her own time, she'll never again want to know anyone's secrets. Natalie enters and says the gifts will have to go back. How long have you known about Jeremiah and Josette plans to elope?, the Countess demands of Vicki, who denies knowing anything.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations doesn't reference the quote at all. However, it comes up after Vicki's musing that she'll never want to know anyone's secrets and before Countess du Pres enters...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Naomi - 'By this time you MUST be quite an authority' - a great diss of Abigail! [snow_wink] [snow_smileydevil]) was back on June 26th of 2021.

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Monday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...






[spoiler]Monday's quote:
Ep #483 (1968) - Barnabas - 'Now Willie, for a few days there... there are certain rules that you MUST obey faithfully.'

From "#0483/0484: Robservations 05/15/02: The Return of Willie"
Willie joyous returns to the Old House. Barnabas tells him he must obey certain rules: remain inside the house and go outside only if accompanied by Barnabas. When Willie asks why, Barnabas explains that certain people will need time to adjust to his being home. Willie asks if Barnabas thinks he'd hurt anybody, and Barnabas assures him on that score. He sends Willie to his room to rest, and Willie goes upstairs, a smile on his face.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote fairly well...

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Tuesday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...






[spoiler]Tuesday's quote:
Ep #723 (1897) - Judith - 'I MUST get some rest. It's almost dawn.'

From "Robservations 11/12/02 - #722-723 - Quentin on the Rise"
Rachel is in the drawing room when Judith comes in and assures her Quentin won't rise again. Rachel thanks her for letting her know. It's near dawn, says Judith--you must get some rest. Rachel volunteers to shut off the lights,
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote but gets wrong just who it is who must get some rest...

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Wednesday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...






[spoiler]Wednesday's quote:
Ep #899 (1969) - Paul - 'But... I MUST see you.'

From "Robservations 4/18/03 - #899-900 - Paul's Most Precious Possession"
The phone rings.  When he picks it up, he's relieved it's Carolyn, who apologizes--David forgot to give me the note. Can you come down now? he asks--I might have to go out of town. No, she says.  Please, he begs--have you spoken to your mother?--I MUST see you. Carolyn is interrupted by Liz, who says, we have to go. Carolyn whispers to Paul, I have to go; I'll try to see you later.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote pretty well...

And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Liz - 'You MUST give love to get it') was back on September 8th of 2020, and the second (Liz - 'You MUSTN'T! I forbid it!') was back on April 3rd.

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Thursday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...






[spoiler]Thursday's quote:
Ep #992 (1970PT) - Hannah - 'Stars in opposition. The heavens in turmoil. Signs in disarray. You MUST beware.'

From "#0992/0993: Robservations 06/23/03: Has Angelique Returned?"
Stokes' cottage - Hannah Stokes does Bruno's horoscope, which reveals, the stars are in opposition, the heavens are in turmoil--beware! she advises. Of what? he asks. Some alien forces at work against you, she says. Could this alien force be of the spirit world? he asks. I can only conjecture, she says, but my answer is yes. Can you anticipate my next question? asks Bruno. You want to know if it's the spirit of my niece, Angelique, she guesses. Well? he asks. You know as well as I do that the charts convey nothing of such a thing, says Hannah. This woman at Collinwood, posing as Alexis is Angelique, says Bruno, and I must have proof to end this uncertainty that's driving me out of my mind--that's why I brought you here tonight.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote well but not perfectly since "Signs in disarray" is missing...

And this is the third quote from this ep, and all from Hannah - could Hannah be the star of this ep?  [snow_wink]  The first (Hannah - 'Ah, Quentin, my dear, please don't invite me to stay. I've managed to upset Alexis terribly and MUST leave at once--no no no, don't try to see me out, I know the way' - which is a quote I absolutely love because it plays as an absolute hoot) was back on October 2nd of 2020, and the second (Hannah - 'But I MUST have silence-- complete silence') was back on June 17th of 2021.

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Friday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...






[spoiler]Friday's quote:
Ep #1119 (1840) - Gabriel - 'The family MUST be informed at once.'

From "#1119/1120: Robservations 09/24/03: Elopement; A Stunning Surprise"
Gerard returns to Collinwood to alert Gabriel and Edith about his grisly find.  Poor Ben, comments Edith--what a horrible way that was to die.  At least he lived to a ripe old age, says Gabriel, unconcerned--more fortunate than some people--Gerard, how much time did you spend with the police?  Several hours of questioning him, says Gerard.  Where is the body? asks Edith.  Gerard explains that they marked it down as a suicide, and the body is with the police--the frightening thing was, Ben looked like he'd cut his own head off.  Edith says she doesn't want to hear anything more about it.  The family must be informed at once, decides Gabriel--Edith, go find Carrie.  Edith rises from her chair and says she can't do that--she can't break it to her!  Find a way and do it now, says Gabriel--I'll have to talk to Father--that should be the high point of my day.  Edith hurries out.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote perfectly...

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Saturday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...






[spoiler]Saturday's quote:
Ep #1197 (1841PT) - Bramwell - 'From that day on, his two sons saw to it that I stayed the poor relation. Yes, Bramwell Collins MUST stay in his place.'

From "#1197/1198: Robservations 12/08/03: The End of 1840/41RT"
I also know the kind of life I want--and I know the two of us could never find it together.  But you and Morgan will? he asks. Yes! she says. You are telling yourself lies! he says, we belong to each other!  No, we're too much alike, she protests, we'd destroy one another--and we could never find the kind of stability I must have if I'm to be happy.  In other words, a poor Collins won't do, he accuses--you must have a rich one.  That isn't fair, she says.  But it's TRUE! he shouts--look at me and tell me you love Morgan Collins.  I do love him, she says.  I don't believe that, says Bramwell, I don't believe you love him, nor do I believe he loves you--he only wants you because he doesn't want me to have you!  That's not true! she says.  Not only is it true, says Bramwell, it's been the story of my life at Collinwood--my father, Barnabas, who was driven to his grave by this family--from that day on, they devoted themselves to making me and my mother miserable.  Justin Collins always loved you, Catherine reminds him.  Yes, says Bramwell, he was the one exception--but before he could give me my rightful place in the business, that accident happened, and from that day on, his (two--there are three?) sons saw that I stayed the poor relation--yes, Bramwell Collins must stay in his place--and that's why I left Collinwood--and now I return to find that they have claimed you, too.  She rises--no one has claimed me, she says--the decision was mine to make and I made it.  This is the final insult, says Bramwell, I suppose they rejoiced when you said yes to Morgan.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote perfectly...

And this is the fourth quote from this ep. The first two are from the 1840/1841 storyline. The first (Judge Vail - 'You MUST refrain from any further demonstrations') was back on August 14th of 2020, and the second (Quentin(reading) - 'For Tad's sake, you MUST know the truth') was back on August 5th. And the third (Bramwell - 'In other words, a poor Collins won't do-- you MUST have a rich one'), which is also from the 1841PT storyline, was back on December 1st. So that all means that Ep #1197 has joined the club with Eps #2, #3, #42, #195, #208, #211, #212, #296, #300, #308, #365, #377, #384, #426, #449, #450, #466, #481, #543, #544, #550, #609, #629, #646, #655, #678, #709, #727, #742, #883, #915, #977, #993, #1057, #1064 and #1111. However, recall that Eps #42, #208, #211, #300, #377, #449, #466, #646, #678, #709, #727, #993, #1057 & #1111 have five quotes...

[spoiler]Sunday's quote:
Ep #43 (1966) - Maggie - 'Well, then it MUST be either Roger Collins or Burke Devlin.'

From "#0043/0044: Robservations 06/18/01: Coffee and Conversation"
This information you think Pop has, says Maggie--it concerns somebody else, right? Yes, says Malloy, sipping his coffee. Then it must be either Roger Collins or Burke Devlin, says Maggie. Why did you say that? asks Bill--did your father mention either one of them, or both? Not exactly, says Maggie, but they've both been to the house, and no one else has--it stands to reason it has something to do with Burke coming back to Collinsport. Then you have noticed something different about your father since Burke came back, says Bill. Sure, says Maggie
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote perfectly...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Bill - 'Only I MUST say Sam makes no secret of it') was back on August 15th.

[spoiler]Monday's quote:
Ep #238 (1967) - Carolyn - 'Hello, Barnabas. We came to see how the restoration was coming along, and I MUST say I'm absolutely amazed at what you've done here.'

From "#0237/0238: Robservations 11/7/01:"
Barnabas himself appears. The girls wax rhapsodic about the room, which Barnabas admits is Josette's-"brimming with femininity."
[/spoiler]

The Robservations is another during the period where there's little detail and the quote isn't referenced, but at least the circumstances under which the quote comes up is referenced...

[spoiler]Tuesday's quote:
Ep #382 (1795) - Abigail - 'Now, you cat. Ah, I am not afraid of you. You cannot harm me, and you cannot stop me from doing what I MUST do... 'cause I am protected by my faith.'

From "#0382/0383: Robservations 03/05/02:"
Foolishly, Vicki says she likes cats, but Abigail insists she hates them. Vicki wants Abigail to leave her room when she does, but Abigail reminds her they own the house and can go into any room they want. She tells Vicki to tell her master that she, Abigail, is his enemy, and orders Vicki to go to Naomi. After Vicki leaves, Abigail informs the cat it won't stop her, and she begins searching Vicki's dresser drawers.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations barely references the quote...

And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Naomi - 'By this time you MUST be quite an authority') was back on June 26th of 2021, and the second (Vicki - 'I MUST be very careful tonight. I MUST not look at the hurt in Barnabas' face, questions on the faces of the others. I MUST let no one realize that I know why Jeremiah and Josette have run away') was back on January 15th.

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Wednesday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...






[spoiler]Wednesday's quote:
Ep #484 (1968) - Jeff - 'There MUST be something-- something I can do-- something to make me stop thinking about it.' [touches hair]

From "#0483/0484: Robservations 05/15/02: The Return of Willie"
Jeff lies on the sofa, at the Evans cottage, reading. He hears the tinkle of Josette's music box and then a bang at the door. He can't stop thinking about the dream. He has to do something about it or go out of his mind. There's a knock at the door for real, and he answers. It's Lang. "No, it can't be," Jeff says, agitated. It's happening just like in the dream, again!
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote, though certainly not perfectly... (Not to mention there's no acknowledgement of the hair touch - shameful!  [nono])

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Jeff - 'The third door MUST be yours') was back on April 25th of 2020.

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Thursday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...






[spoiler]Thursday's quote:
Ep #724 (1897) - Barnabas - 'Now you MUST tell Rachel I sent you. You MUST tell her that she is not to leave the room and you MUST see that no one ever gets in there.'

From "Robservations 11/13/02 - #724/725 - Zombie Quentin and Reverend Trask"
go to Rachel's room--I'm afraid for her, and my presence has caused a spell to be cast. You bring trouble wherever you are, Magda slings at him. I'm not that callous, insists Barn, I want no harm to come to Rachel. What is the spell? she asks. You don't need to know that, insists Barn. I won't go! Says Magda. You must, says Barn--Quentin is buried and Rachel may be summoned to the grave--a ridiculous trick Angelique will like--tell Rachel I sent you, he commands her, and tell her that she isn't to leave the room and no one will get in there--report to me at dusk. Payment, says Magda. My gratitude, says Barn. Not enough, says Magda. Sandor rises from his soup and tries to intervene. "He is under your control, not mine!" snaps Magda. Barn reminds her, I can easily change that. Sandor begs his wife to go--do as he says. Furious, she leaves.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote well...

[spoiler]Friday's quote:
Ep #239 (1967) - Barnabas - 'Willie MUST'VE dropped something. He isn't the most agile of servants.'

From "#0239/0240: Robservations 11/8/01:"
Maggie, upstairs in Josette's room, prowls restlessly around, and even though Willie tries his best to get her to sit and relax, she hears Sam's and Joe's voices and reacts to it.
Willie finds everything falling down around his ears as she says she doesn't want to stay in that room, she wants to leave! "Pop," Maggie whispers. "Joe." This wigs out poor Willie, who is still trying to get her to remain in Josette mode and not cause trouble that will bring Barnabas' wrath down on them. Maggie struggles in Willie's grasp and something falls. Sam and Joe hear it, but Barnabas says that's just his clumsy servant, Willie.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations doesn't reference the first part of the quote and paraphrases the rest...

And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Barnabas - 'You MUST learn to never LEAVE me. You MUST STAY with me always') was back on January 14th of 2020, and the second (Barnabas - 'Willie, that's enough. This is Josette Collins. It is her portrait that is hanging upstairs. From now on you MUST call her Miss Josette and Miss Josette only') was back on February 23rd.

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Saturday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...






[spoiler]Saturday's quote:
Ep #485 (1968) - Barnabas - 'It will work, Willie, because it MUST.'

From "#0485/0486: Robservations 05/16/02: Cassandra Wins Again"
Barnabas seals the envelope as Willie worries things won't be the same; suppose they won't let Adam live there, what will happen to him? Trust me, Willie, says Barn, things are changed at Collinwood--make sure only Liz gets that letter. Willie asks if Barnabas will see him before he leaves. Very likely not, says Barn. He assures the anxious Willie he'll recognize him upon his return, being deliberately unsentimental--even in the other body, he'll know who he is--I promise.
Willie is still sure it won't work, and as the dogs continue to howl, Barnabas tells him it will work--because it must! Willie leaves with the letter.
[/spoiler]

With the exception of Barnabas addressing Willie by name, the Robservations references the quote perfectly...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Dr. Lang - 'I MUST... I MUST get back to work') was back on January 28th of 2022, exactly a year earlier.
