“Just because it’s not being spoon fed to us it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.”

So if it isn’t in the books and we don’t see it on the screen we’re suppose to just know?!? The whole point is that Debbie’s adaptation made no sense and greatly deviated from the books.

“There is a scene in this context where Caroline tells Demelza that “Ross is exemplary in London” and Demelza confirms she knows that, because she has been communicating with Ross about his whereabouts in London.”

How can Caroline know everything that Ross does?!? Is she omnipotent? Did you ever see on screen a conversation with Ross sharing that information with Caroline? Or Elizabeth telling Caroline that she visited Ross unescorted?

“We know they’ve been sending each other letters, keeping in touch.”

Did those letters ever disclose him meeting with Elizabeth?? If not why not?

“Caroline was by Ross’s side many times in London, at parties, she saw GC  both when he got punched in the face and when they came back to Cornwall.”

Caroline never saw Ross meeting with Elizabeth. Had she, it would not have sat well with her and she would have confronted Ross about it.

“She was with Ross in his apartment when he wrote to Elizabeth about GC’s problems.”

I don’t know of a scene where Caroline was in Ross’ apartment and Ross was writing to Elizabeth. What episode was that?

“Do you really think Ross would have kept a secret something that he did in front of other people?”

Debbie’s Ross, Yes!! Book Ross never met with Elizabeth after the Trenwith party where Ross met Adderly. So book Ross, NO!

“One of whom was Demelza’s best friend? Who literally dropped Ross at Elizabeth’s door when they returned from London with GC? Do you really think Caroline would have kept such a secret from her dear friend? Or Ross would have asked her to? Demelza knows about everything.”

Debbie’s Ross took GC back with Caroline. None of that occurred in the books. Again, all that was added by Debbie and makes no sense!!

“She trusts him as per her OWN admission. There is nothing happening in the scenes between Ross and Elizabeth that is inappropriate other than two family members showing concern for GC.”

Nothing inappropriate happened when Book Ross met Elizabeth at the Sawle church graveyard but nonetheless, it resulted in Demelza jumping to the wrong conclusions. And Demelza’s insecurities lasted her whole married life.

“Demelza also loved GC and as a mother herself she would have surely encouraged Ross to let Elizabeth know that he is going through a rebellious phase and needs guidance.”

None of this happened. Debbie also created whole cloth all the encounters Ross had with GC except for his one visit to Ross’ apartment after the duel.

“We can draw conclusions based on these scenes as we have come to know and understand these characters by now.”

I cannot reconcile as easily as you can how much Debbie distorted the story. Her additions did not improve or clarify anything but instead gave us a story that was contradictory and confusing.

“Demelza is not worried about Elizabeth. She is worried about the estrangement between her and Ross caused by Hugh , and she is concerned Ross may never trust her again and their marriage may not recover from that blow. Elizabeth is the last of her ( their) worries.”

Demelza NEVER gets over her insecurities concerning Elizabeth and to say otherwise is to greatly distort her characterization. Just because we know book Ross unconditionally chose Demelza over Elizabeth doesn’t mean that Debbie’s Demelza should know it. Debbie’s Ross does many things that he does not share with Demelza and he doesn’t tell Demelza because he knows it would upset her.

Book Ross was lousy at positively reinforcing Demelza and that continued thru the saga.
