and then didn't they invent the story:  the collins never wrote the true story....made up things to suit themselves....

I've been watching the pre-Barnabas episodes and in one of episodes following Vicki's arrival at Collinwood, they show a page in the Collins Family History, with a sketch (presumably of Josette) and the words "Josette Collins (1810-1834).

At this point, they are still going with the original backstory of Josette having come from France in 1830 to marry Jeremiah, whom Elizabeth says was her's and Roger's great-grandfather.

I've always wondered if Josette was supposed to be their great-grandmother? Or was she a second wife? At any rate, this was before they invented our gentleman vamp. lol

I just saw it on the TV. Love Flo's line, "Are we still talking about insurance?" 

   Hopefully it was empty...

(The first question - and a very intriguing statement that some "answers won't be simple... or permanent.")

I don't *think* they actually pin down a time frame. It might be that we're lead to presume the 1830s because of everything that has come before the party.


That seems to be a continuing situation on DS regardless of which production because the plaque for Daphne's grave in the '91 series was inadvertently made by the prop department to read "Daphne Collins" when it should have read "Daphne Stoddard" - but they just left it that way, thereby making Daphne's relationship to the Collins family rather confusing.

...do you ever shut up? Ever?

A:  I swear, Elizabeth, I don't know where the children's hampster is....
