Did you know there was a secret diary hidden in the attic? Lifetime has a never-before-published excerpt of “Christopher’s Diary” prior to its upcoming release! http://mylt.tv/1kyfLuR

[Deepthought]

I've read the excerpt and I am kinda confused. Firstly, I thought this diary was found in the ashes of Foxworth Hall when it burnt, but it seems like he is recalling when he was older ?!

Then I remember that their father's car was a green cadillac.

The whole tone seems too sordid and sick .. Like the mention of Corrine bathing in front of her son and making him wash her back - it just makes me feel icky like some of the smut I read of "those" sites (sorry). It seems too suggestive as this is a sick family that should belongs more in the seedy shelves of an adult bookstore. (I'm sorry to even say that).

Then the relationship between Cathy and Chris, well it seems like he hates her.

I don't know. I had high hopes. But maybe we should not go forth with such great expectations then we won't be disappointed.

Additional info

This excerpt mentions the of Chris being afraid of being caught by Corrine doing "something embarrassing" in the bathroom.

"“Christopher Dollanganger! I do believe you’re getting too old for your age,” she said which at first I thought was just funny, but later understood.

Maybe she won’t be asking me to wash her back as much or close her door whenever she gets dressed. She won’t come in on me when I bathe and avoid looking at me when I get dressed.

There will be something between us that has never been: embarrassment.""

It isn't consistent with FITA where Cathy carefully documents their bodily changes in the SECOND YEAR.

"I kept seeing stains on the sheets,
and they weren't large enough to be another of Cory's dreams of going
to the bathroom. They were on Chris's side of the bed."

Cathy hadn't noticed this before.

Then his voice broke in the second year as well.

"Pigs, but Chris would have to read like Daddy used to, and huff and
puff, and make his voice deep like the wolf's. And I wasn't sure he
would."

To the beginning of the third year..

"What I mean is," he said, turning redder, "we haven't really done
anything bad." He had a man's voice now, deep and strong."

He wasn't developed at that time to do what you're suggesting..

They way Catherine and Corrine are portrayed here is extremely sick and icky. It suggests that they were seducing Chris into some sordid weird ,incestual ritual. Prior to their imprisonment in the attic, Cathy and Chris were by all means normal, run of the mill children. Their world came crashing down when they learnt of their parents secret.

"Momma isn’t shy about being naked in front of us. I know she is very proud of her figure which is a figure most women envy, but she also knows I try to think of the human body the way a doctor should. There have been times and still are times when she’ll ask me to wash her back for her. Cathy stands to the side watching enviously so I have to let her do it, too."


"She comes into my room when she does her hair and puts on a dress to ask me how she looks. Twice this week, she asked me to wash her back the way I would wash Momma’s. Usually, I do it too quickly and she complains."

This isn't a tone I would associate with Chris, who always maintains an air of dignity and respect, regardless of the subject. He isn't vulgar. The closest voice to Chris's would be Jory's in "If There Be Thorns"
