"Collinwood with All Its Dark Shadows"
wes-connors31 August 2011
As he is about to leave Collinwood, Roger (Louis Edmonds) receives a telephone call from Burke (Mitchell Ryan), demanding they meet with Malloy in Roger's office at 11:00 pm. Malloy says he has information, as revealed in prior episodes, about the 1956 accident which will prove Burke innocent. Clearly troubled, Roger tries to call Malloy, but he is not home. Instead, Roger speaks with Malloy's housekeeper Mrs. Johnson, which is the first mention of a character who will later be introduced. Vicki (Alexandra Moltke) enters the drawing room, looking for a drawing by David of Collinwood. At first Roger won't even look at his son's work, but finally admires the picture, saying...

"Collinwood with all its dark shadows, he's captured it all right."

Meanwhile, Sam (David Ford) is sober and painting when Malloy (Frank Schofield) visits. Malloy tells Sam he should also be at the 11:00 pm meeting in Roger's office. Sam fears the meeting may ruin his life. At Collinwood, Malloy angrily demands Roger attend the meeting. At 10:15, Vicki discusses Sam with Roger. Roger doesn't want Vicki to keep a dinner invitation with Sam and Maggie Evans. Vicki realizes Sam is the strange man she met on Widow's Hill and thinks he might know something about her past. Roger laughs at Vicki's speculation. Burke, Sam and Roger wait for Malloy at 11:00 in Roger's office, prepared to hear why Bill Malloy feels Burke was innocent in 1956...

Roger feels his world crashing around him.

Warning: Spoilers
As if discovering that his son trying to kill him wasn't enough, now Roger Collins finds out that his past is catching up with him, too. Few details have been revealed in regards to that car accident ten years before, but through Louis Edmonds' eyes and building temper simply through nervousness over the unknown, we get to see his understandable uncomfortable position. Perhaps that explains why the character of Roger is so dark with only flashes of charm and perhaps that is why sister Elizabeth always seems so suspicious and uncomfortable around him.

Through a very angry phone call with Burke Devlin, demanding to meet him I his own office (which Burke obviously intends to make his own), Roger begins to cave in emotionally, demanding tgst Victoria decline Maggie's invite to dinner with her and her father Sam. The tension is incredibly high, and while there are no more details given, the audience feels that something big is about to come out, and that makes this episode quite intriguing.

Some volatile scenes

Warning: Spoilers
Episode 46 centres around the supporting character of Malloy, a character who becomes integral to the story due to his knowledge of the car accident that saw Burke Devlin sent to prison. There are some good, volatile scenes here amid the usual slow-moving plot building, and if it's not quite what you'd call entertainment, at least it picks up the pace a bit after the last few episodes.
