Diaries of the Dark

I think one of the great tragedies of the early years was no real resolution to Victoria's past, her lineage and true identity. To dedicate so much time and effort early in the show to who this governess is and how Liz Stoddard felt compelled to hire her and support her in the foundling home, the whole mystery of it, and not resolve it is rather troublesome. Dangling the carrot and never feeding it to us, only to allow us to nibble, is rather frustrating. Why bother?

Gotta love a soap opera, right? During the Mitch Ryan / Burke era, before Barnabas was unleashed from his coffin by Willie, it took nearly four episodes before getting through the first night! Vicky has been through question after question while we were introduced to nearly all the principle cast members.
