But he didn't kill her in the movie, did he? Holly's love of the book was added 9 years later ... maybe the GH writers only saw the movie? Lol. As for the crazy ex wife ... well, did Rebecca wear a rubber scar?! And, am I the only one who thinks Rebecca was a big ripoff of Jane Eyre?

Gloria Monty was a big 30s and 40s movie fan and I think a lot of that love got passed onto her characters. It think this is one of those instances but I could be wrong.

I might watch again someday, but for now, according to IMDB: "Those who have both read the book and seen the movie generally report that they are quite different. One major difference is the circumstances surrounding Rebecca's death. In the movie, Rebecca is killed when she falls and hits her head on a boat tackle, whereas in the novel Rebecca is shot by Maxim."
As I recall, Mrs. Danvers is the evil in the movie and Max is "innocent."

Is it me or did they use Holly's old room in the townhouse as Anna's hotel room,, the one she had when she first got to PC?

I don't think so; they had sets for the PC hotel (Terry and Bobbie stayed their after Brock was murdered) and they used Holly's old room again when everyone and their mother moved in with Robert during the Asian Quarter s/l.

Question, was Holly's birthday ever celebrated? And if so, when is it?

I'm fixated on Holly's ring. Sometime in 1983, she gets a completely different wedding ring. I don't know when it is though. Yes there is something about that ring💍❤️....I though it was all in my mind, but was also convinced that the ring was different. So funny how people often have the same thought. I think Holly was a bit obsessed with the ring as well. In my opinion, the symbolic grandeur of the ring really overwhelmed her. Not to mention how beautiful and expensive it was.
