Then & Now

John: I guess it was pretty obvious that Vicki was going to spend the weekend locked away...

First-time viewers never could have dreamed that so shortly after hearing Burke and Sam lament Bill's absence, that everyone's best dead friend would return, singing! Of course I still wonder why ghostly Bill didn't open the door for her...

Christine: Maybe Vicki is actually safer where she's at right now. Although I can't help thinking that candle burning right next to a large stack of papers could have easily started the first fire on the set. 

What a delight to hear Elizabeth tell her daughter that the world doesn't revolve around Carolyn Stoddard. What took her so long? Perhaps she was the one who gave Carolyn that impression in the first place. 

It was interesting that Burke said Vicki Winters was the only one he wouldn't want to scare up at Collinwood. So David and Carolyn are still fair game. 

Shadows on the Wall

John: So after Carolyn sent Joe away in yesterday's episode, she went upstairs, put on a dress, and then got her hair done in a new style?

Was that Bartender Bob that Burke kept calling Andy?

Christine: Punchy to Joe, Andy to Burke. Bartender Bob does not get the respect he deserves! 

Do you suppose it was the ghost of Bill Malloy we heard trying to blow out the candle after his warning to Vicki? What a great way to end the week with another ghost sighting!

A few more things worth noticing…

Then & Now

John: Does David not realize that when Vicki gets out, his Aunt is going to hear about him having the key, and wandering around the closed section of the house? That would make him pretty dumb. Or does he really expect Vicki to die and never be found, in which case he truly is an evil monster. 

Christine: I think he's not only expecting her to die and never be found but may also be contemplating making her one of his new ghost friends.

John: Why didn't Vicki just grab the key from David when she had the chance?

Christine: Why didn't she ask David to go blow out the candle? 

John: I love when Joe makes it crystal clear (to the viewers, at least) that he has had enough of Carolyn.

Christine: Carolyn did not consider that good ol' Joe might eventually tire of her abuse and move on. She thinks only about what she wants and takes Joe's continued devotion for granted. She may have realized too late that she had a good thing going. Next stop. Burke Devlin. 

Shadows on the Wall

John: Carolyn reminds us today of the absence of a coat rack in the foyer. 

Christine: I was thinking about the lack of a coat rack yesterday when Roger was casually tossing his marvelous cape down on the foyer table.

John: What's with Liz's donut-neck dress?

Christine: That is a fabulous peignoir set with a doughnut collar, the height of 1960s boudoir fashion. Perhaps it's time to start a loungewear collection. 

Here are a few more scenes from today's disturbing episode…
