One of my favorite episodes in all of DS is when [spoiler]Dr. Julia Hoffman tracks Quentin's portrait, disguised by a painting by Charles Delaware Tate of a landscape, "A view of South Wales," to its current owner, Conde-Nast type tycoon Schuyler "Sky" Rumson... only to learn that Rumson bought the painting as a gift for his wife... none other than Angelique, the former Mrs. Barnabas Collins! I just love how the two actresses play the scene... and so far as I am aware, this is the last time we see the two together in their fully-developed personalities; when next Julia sees Angelique, she's more or less an amnesiac living in 1840. But, I digress... I had kind of an ugly day yesterday, and when I settled in at home decided to watch this episode again.[/spoiler]
I was very amused to see that the bill Dr. Hoffman found in Harrison Monroe's papers for the painting actually listed the work's title as "Q View of South Wales"! Evidently, somebody on the production team had quite the sense of humor. And although I own the episode as an MPI VHS, it was clear enough to spot what was going on. Too rich!
