Carolyn loves Buzz just as much as Elizabeth loves Jason ...

Warning: Spoilers
Sounds like two marriages made in heaven to me. The Carolyn and Victoria scenes are more interesting than the gothic scenes involving Willie and Maggie and David and Sarah, although the David and Sarah seems to reveal a little bit about the mysterious little girl clothing. Carolyn, basically in the supporting story, gets to reveal a lot of her inner feelings as she tells Victoria exactly what she feels about Elizabeth's pending marriage, indicating that she really doesn't love Buzz and is only involved with him out of spite. The sound of Buzz's motorcycle fortunately does spare us a sight of him as his character is absolutely repulsive and I'm glad he just fades into the woodwork.

The playfulness between David Henesy and Sharon Smyth as they argue over his dislike going on around of her singing London Bridge over and over is very funny. These two actors have impish ways of delivering their lines but they are adorable in their own unique style. Maggie only gets a little bit of footage with Willie at the opening and end of the episode so they do not dominate it. Frankly, the story involving Maggie's disappearing has gone on for far too long and I can't wait until it takes to turn that I know comes within a few weeks. As for the music box being played over and over, I'll take that over the records overly played at the Blue Parrot any day. Sarah's revelation of a big brother is a fascinating ending.

Staying fresh

Episode 256 carries on the creepiness of the previous episode, with the little girl - Sarah - revealing some of her character with ambiguous lines and the like. For now, this is all new and fresh, adding life to the slightly flagging Barnabas vampire storyline.
