Heavens to Murgatroyd, what a pair today's snaps make! At Collinwood, Liz doesn't even notice that Daphne's out-of-control Wig Monster has begun EATING HER BRAIN. Meanwhile, back at the Old House, in Episode # 666 (All Hail the Beast!), Julia's having a meltdown over how badly her accessories today are made of FAIL.

The drama is truly relentless at the Great House... and for All Who Live There...

Well, we all know the story about the time the writers got so confused about events in the past of the show that had to be known in order for a certain day's script to be done... after arguing pointlessly for awhile, DC or somebody said: "Hey, there are all those kids waiting outside the studio--let's ask them!" And sure enough, the "studio kids" were able to provide a letter perfect summary of "the story so far."

If only they had done this more often... for instance, when trying to recall whether Josette had died in 1795, 1796, or 1797 ...

querido Misterioso, these are FABULOUS. Thanks so much!

I just love that jutting lip from Grayson... and the hint of a sneer from Frid...

The main thing one senses Willie was handy at before his rendezvous with a certain "cousin from England" was separating honest folk from their cash, by hook, crook or crowbar.

His attempts to hit on the heiress and the ingenue were so clumsily managed that one has to observe that he was less than "handy" with the ladies, however.

I do love Grayson's delivery of the line "Mrs Johnson is a repressed hysteric." It really looks as if she's biting back a big blurt of laughter.

David has dialogue where he explains to Amy who Matthew Morgan was, but all he says is that "he was somebody who used to work for us." Imagine if he had said, "Yeah, he was my best buddy for awhile, but then he kidnapped Miss Winters, kept her bound and gagged in a secret room behind the bookcase in the Old House, and was about to make mincemeat of her brains with an axe when Josette's ghost gave him a heart attack."

I tried imagining the conversation in which Barnabas and Julia have to explain to the kids: "David, we know we said Aunt Elizabeth was dead, but we were wrong. We came *this close* to burying her alive, but luckily we didn't, and she woke up and she's upstairs now having a nice tall brandy."

Maybe the difficulties trying to come up with plausible references to some of the bygone storylines that wound up in rather lurid scenarios partly accounts for the weird "amnesia" around such characters as Joe, Vicki, Jason, et al.

That's really quite funny, mio caro Misterioso. I could have sworn those lines were in the film. I probably *think* that they were because they were, no doubt, included in the "Marilyn Ross" novelization, which from what I can recall followed the complete script fairly closely, down to scenes such as the ones with the Marie Wallace character that were cut before filming even began...

Oh, yay! "Mrs Johnson is a repressed hysteric." Love it!

Dear fans,

once again, I've been looking around for the episode in which Julia exclaims to somebody or other some version of the line: "Mrs. Johnson is a neurotic hysteric!" I've been re-watching the Quentin haunting storyline shows (and how wonderfully done they were) and have seen some great scenes with Mrs J, including an episode with Harry #2 in which they are cleaning "Matthew Morgan's cottage" because "Tom Jennings" is about to move in--odd on two counts, first because Laura had been the previous occupant of that cottage but is never mentioned, not even by her own son, and two that Tom Jennings had been dead about three months at that point. Anyhow, still no sign of Julia's reading of Mrs J's beads.

Anybody have a clue when and where this happened?

Thanks,

G.

Thanks, MB! Love the capture!

I have a vague memory of an endless compilation of trailers on one of the DVD sets... was this in 26? I'll have to go look again. They included some hysterical ones... I really want to see "Joe" after viewing the trailer. It's on my Netflix queue!

I guess I missed any shots that might have been posted of Carlotta during the seance sequence in the NoDS series. I realize, however, that you probably didn't have access to any shots of this sequence.

I just love the image you created for today's (Tuesday's) quote. That's a beautiful capture from the trailer.

Happy 2010!

Best,

« on: January 01, 2010, 11:02:16 PM »

I'm afraid Joan Crawford (whose films I adore) would have been a disaster on DS. If you've never seen it, catch the sequence in the Faye Dunaway classic Mommie Dearest in which they re-create Joan's attempt to replace daughter Christina on her own soap (can't recall which one it was at the moment) when Tina was sidelined due to an illness or surgery. It's a hoot.

Apart from other considerations, "Miss C" always demanded that her sets be kept cold enough to double as meat lockers (apparently, she broke a sweat very easily when the temp rose, which wreaked havoc with all that makeup). I doubt they would have been able to accommodate this, and her numerous other demands on DS.
