[QUOTE="Oh!Carol Christmasson, post: 412255, member: 8"] Poor Vicky II. As if the recast isn't problematic enough she's immediately saddled with Vicky's worst storyline so far: hysterically shouting at rooms because the ghost of Jeff may or may not be in there. Too bad Alexandra didn't stay for a few more episodes and allow the first Vicky and Jeff ride off into the sunset. The whole plot of Jeff being summoned back to history is shaky, to say the least. But in the world of live daytime soap quick decisions have to be made, and it's inevitable that some of those decisions will prove to be unsatisfactory. The themes in Dark Shadows' next chapter is [I]The Curse Of The Werewolf[/I] and [I]The Turn Of The Screw.[/I] I haven't watched enough to guess if these storylines are going to intertwine, but I hope it's going to be a good one for Carolyn. As the werewolf, Chris Jennings has to perform various vanishing acts accompanied by the obligatory soap dialogue "I can't explain why!" or "you wouldn't understand". Chris and Carolyn are having a nice chat in the Blue Whale (Yes! The Blue Whale and its tacky soundtrack are back!) but for reasons stated above Chris brusquely ends the conversation. Now I'm sure that more extreme examples will occur in the next episodes, but it is precisely that little and obscure moment of normality that made me feel very sorry for Carolyn. Some interesting titbits from previous episodes: **Adam overhears Carolyn telling Vicky that she's going away to find the man she used to love a long time ago. That's not going to happen but I wondered who that man was supposed to be? Could it be Buzz? **Eve and Jeff Clarke's connection is all about recognition (from Eve's part anyway) but when Eve travels back in time to find physical proof that he [I]is[/I] Peter Bradford, Peter Bradford himself accepts Eve's appearance as "Danielle Roget" even though she's a completely different woman. Not that it matters because Eve/Danielle's story arc was mercilessly dropped in the wrap-up of the Adam and Nicholas chapters. It's a pity because Eve showed traits of a delightful loose cannon.
