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

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #561 (1968) - Nicholas - 'If Mr. Haskell is to be summoned, you MUST do the summoning. He will hear you.'

From "Robservations 7/15/02 - #560/561 - Ang Seduces Her New Victim"
Angelique rises, hungry, and Nicholas tells her he's been expecting her. Where is Joe, she asks, and Nick tells her that SHE must summon Joe if she wants him-he'll hear her--he needs her as much as she needs him. Angelique looks out the windows, parts the curtains, and calls Joe to come to her. "Come to me," she wheedles. Joe looks at his reflection in the mirror, ordering himself to resist her. He's warring fiercely with himself, wanting to go and not wanting to just as much. Angelique continues to call her victim, telling him she needs him now. "You need me. You want me. Come. . .come to me."
Joe struggles, then realizes he does need and want her-he can't resist her any longer, he can't! He leaves his room. Angelique is smiling. "You know how to find me," she says, "come as quickly as you can. You will be drawn to this house, irresistibly drawn, through the forest to the house by the sea."
[/spoiler]

The Robservations paraphrases the quote a bit but gets its points across...

And as I said back when we used the variant of the quote when the scene is restaged in Ep #562, the lines are actually worded somewhat differently in Ep #561 than they are in Ep #562 (Nicholas - 'If your friend is to be summoned, you MUST do the summoning. He will hear you'), so that means Ep #561's version could also be quoted in the slideshow one day - and that day was yesterday.  [wink2]

And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Joe - 'She MUSTN'T know about this. Don't tell her') was back on December 29th, and the second (Angelique - 'Joe, you need me, just as I need you. You MUST come to me. Now') was back on January 28th.

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

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #816 (1897) - Petofi - 'But he MUST exist in some time. Otherwise, he could hardly possess the boy, could he?'

From "Robservations #815/816"
Quentin, carrying Jamison, comes in and says, "He's dying."  He places him on the sofa.  "Why bring him here then?" asks Petofi.  Take him to a doctor.  That will do no good, says Q, he's been possessed!  Really? asks Petofi.  An alien spirit controls him, says Q desperately, and he'll die unless you do something!  Do you know whose it is? asks the Count.  David Collins, answers Q.  Petofi asks, is he an ancestor from the past?  I'm not sure, says Quentin.  Have you heard the name before? asks Petofi.  Jamison had a dream about David Collins, says Q--he told it to Barnabas, who explained it away, saying David Collins didn't exist.  He must exist in some time, suggests Petofi, otherwise, he couldn't be possessing the boy now.  "I don't know!" cries Quentin
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote almost perfectly...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Petofi - 'With that one name, with the knowledge of that one person, I can begin my attack-- my attack that will make Barnabas Collins realize he MUST go back to his own time, and take me with him') was back on September 28th of 2020.

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

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #941 (1970) - Maggie - 'I MUST.'

From "Robservations 5/15/03 - #940-941 - Carolyn Whisked Away; Maggie in Danger"
What are you doing here? asks Maggie.
He eyes her evilly, and smiles when she says, you shouldn't be here. Why not? he asks. Are you on the way to Collinwood? she asks. Is Carolyn there? asks Jeb, I've been waiting for her. She tries to walk past him, but he grabs her.  Why are you in such a hurry? He asks. Because it's going to storm, she starts to say.  Is that the real reason? he asks--don't go, he orders, staring into her eyes, not yet--not yet at all.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations doesn't reference the quote at all, but it comes up after Maggie says she has to go to Collinwood because it's going to storm and Jeb asks her if that's the real reason and before he tells her not to go...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first ( Liz - 'My imagination. I MUST be more upset than I realize') was back on February 8th of 2020.

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #1039 (1970PT) - Angelexis - 'But Father, you MUST perfect what you started. You MUST because I want to go on doing here what I MUST.'

From "#1038/1039: Robservations 07/28/03: The Redhead With the Grand Tetons"
Collinwood - Angelique, on the phone, assures her stepfather, I'm all right again, thank you, but you must perfect what you've started, because I intend on doing here what I must!  She hears a door slam and hurriedly hangs up.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations paraphrases but gets all the points across...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Bruno - 'You MUST! You MUST!') was back on August 5th of 2020.

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #1162 (1840) - Desmond - 'Witchcraft-- that's ridiculous. There MUST be a definite cause of death.'

From "#1161/1162: Robservations 11/10/03: Another Witchly Death"
Witchcraft, scoffs Desmond--there must be a definite cause of death.  Yes, says Trask, a warlock named Quentin Collins--I suggest you go to your client, counselor, I'm sure he needs you very much.  I will go to him, simply to get the truth, vows Desmond--Lord knows I wouldn't believe you--he hurries out.  And neither would I! says Daphne, going into the foyer and beginning to cry.  Don't be frightened, begs Desmond.  I don't know whether what I feel is fear or anger, she says.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references most of the quote...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Daphne's Voice - 'You MUST, you MUST. You want to go through with it. You love him. You love him so much. When you see him, run to his arms, run to his arms!') was back on February 11th.

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

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #1232 (1841PT) - Julia - 'Morgan, if Catherine and Bramwell have been seeing each other, you MUST believe that it is simply friendship.'

From "#1232/1233: Robservations 01/07/04: Daphne Falls Ill"
but I'm no less angry at Bramwell--he must not see her anymore, because if he does, I'm going to kill him.  Julia comes in--that isn't the answer, she chastises--I told you not to get upset about this.  I can't help it, he says.  If Catherine and Bramwell have been seeing each other, says Julia, you must believe it's out of friendship.  That isn't the point, says Morgan.  I want you to know something about Catherine, too, says Julia, before you see her--when you were possessed, she was with you all the time, even when you became dangerous, she wanted to be near YOU!
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote well, though not perfectly...

And this is the fifth quote from this ep. The first (Bramwell - 'Daphne, nothing MUST ever happen to you--nothing') was back on May 12th of 2020, the second (Josette - 'But you know what the doctor said. You need complete rest-- you MUST STAY in bed') was back on January 21st of 2021, the third (Morgan - 'No, you're right. I MUST never think anything like that. I'm sorry') was back on June 16th of 2023, and the fourth (Morgan - 'He MUST NOT see her anymore, because if he does, I'm going to kill him') was back on December 23rd of 2023.

And this ep now shares the [milestone] of a fifth quote with Eps #42, #44, #52, #66, #106, #133, #208, #211, #300, #367, #377, #384, #426, #449, #466, #543, #544, #550, #556, #609, #629, #639, #646, #655, #678, #709, #727, #734, #742, #746, #915, #977, #993, #1057, #1111, #1197 & #1218. However, recall that there's an even bigger because Eps #66, #377, #384, #449, #550, #646, #709, #727, #915 & #993 have six quotes, and even a bigger still because Ep #550 has seven!!

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #118 (1966) - Burke - 'Eh, MUST have by this time.'

From "#0117/0118: Robservations 08/10/01: They Search For Vicki"
Joe comes back downstairs. Devlin? he calls. Burke comes up behind him and asks if he found anything. No, I searched all the rooms upstairs, says Joe. Nothing down here, either, says Burke--I could have sworn we'd have found her here if we found her at all. I wonder if the sheriff's gotten up to the main house yet? asks Joe. He must have by this time, says Burke--his men are probably our scouring the woods. Inside the secret room, Matthew listens to what they're saying. Might as well go join them, says Joe. All right, says Burke
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote almost perfectly...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Joe - 'She MUST be freezing by now') was back on August 12th of 2021.

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #817 (1897[-1967]) - Barnabas - 'You MUST do it. Immediately, quickly, Quentin.'

From "Robservations #817-818"
Barnabas reminds him, it won't be long before Petofi returns, and when he does, take the cross from my chest.  Can I, without hurting you? asks Q.  You must try, says Barnabas.  I'm afraid for you, protests Quentin.  Do it, orders Barn, immediately, quickly.  Quentin reaches for the cross, but is unable to move his hand close enough.  Petofi, in the other room, is clearly causing this to happen.  Barnabas asks what's the matter.  I don't know, says Quentin--I can't move my hand any further.  Of course you can't, says Barnabas--he wouldn't have let you stay here if there was any chance you'd help me escape.  Quentin balls the hand into a fist, frustrated, in pain.   Barnabas says, it isn't going to be easy to get rid of him, not at all.
[/spoiler]

The Robservations references the quote well though not perfectly...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Petofi - 'Surely you MUST realize now you have no choice, Mr. Collins, there is no one left to help you. You MUST take me with you into the future!') was back on December 31st of 2021.
