Then & Now

John: It's easy for Vicki to remember what everyone told her when she first arrived in Collinwood, given that they all basically told her the same thing — to pack her bags and get the hell out of Dodge!

Christine: Maggie doesn't charge Vicki for her lunch at the Collinsport Restaurant, and when Vicki tries to protest, Maggie says not to worry because the clam chowder was two weeks old and the lobster roll was from last year. Given that those items are no longer on the menu, I'm inclined to believe her, especially after Maggie told Vicki not to send her the doctor bills and Vicki assured her she wouldn't. If I were Vicki, I'd be concerned about having dinner at the Evans house.


Shadows on the Wall

John: While Patterson was playing with his gun, it got me thinking about adding a firearm tracker...

Christine: The phone booth at the Collinsport Inn and Restaurant appears to have moved back to the area by the front desk after being in the restaurant near the lunch counter when we last saw it.

Shadows on the Wall: Episode 56

   

Before continuing, you may enjoy revisiting our original 50th anniversary summary and commentary: https://dsb4idie.blogspot.com/2016/09/episode-56-91266.html


Then & Now

Christine: Why is Elizabeth defending Matthew? What he did was wrong, no matter his intention, and he should be fired. 

John: Carolyn seems more upset about Bill than Liz. She tells Vicki he was the nicest, sweetest man she's ever known. More than Joe? And Burke? And her uncle Roger?

Christine: Why would Roger meet Sam at the Blue Whale and openly discuss getting their stories straight? The Sheriff could probably expedite his inquiry if he questioned Bartender Bob Rooney.

John: As you pointed out 10 years ago, that shot in the Blue Whale with the reflection of the shimmering water remains a standout.


Shadows on the Wall

John: I don't know if Roger was attempting to go incognito, but if he sports another hat later on, a hat tracker will be in order. And they'll need a hat rack along with the coat rack.


Christine: Looking closely at the binding on the Family History Book, it's hard to make out the title written there, but could it be "The Holy and the Damned," as Carolyn calls it?
