# Talk:Tessa Noël

"In an alternative universe where Duncan was never born, Tessa was alive but led an unhappy married life. She had an affair with Duncan, but still felt miserable."
I've seen this episode a very long time ago and don't exactly remember... how could she have an affair with him if he was not born in this alternative universe? – Alensha talk 18:27, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

This happened in the last episode of the series, Duncan was temporarily dead after he was shot, and during this time he "dreamed", or he encountered his deceased friend Hugh Fitzcairn who showed him a world in which he wasn't born. And so he could see and meet this "Tessa" alive and married. --Exodianecross (talk) 19:23, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm currently copy-editing this article, and I don't think the 'Set design' material should be in an article about a character. It looks well-referenced and I think it could be useful in another article. I have placed it here so if someone wants it, it will still available. Note that I haven't copy-edited this text.

### Set design
When the show started in 1992, Panzer wanted its look to be similar to the first two Highlander movies. Production designer Steve Geaghan designed an "extremely European" set with a Philippe Stark-like style for Tessa's apartment to emphasize the fact that she was French and an artist. Geaghan elaborated that "the look in the antique store [in 1992-1993] was very reconstructivist. I used metal bridges running across diagonally, insinuated into deteriorated brick walls with frescoes painted on them. The whole feel of the place was decidedly Old World in a New World environment. Basically, we kept it very rich and extremely textured." At the beginning of the second season, though, newly-hired producer Ken Gord commented that this set "just struck me as complicated;" it "had all these snakes and ladders -- as I called it -- staircases and walkways." Gord felt that the Highlander universe seemed complicated to the casual viewer and that simplifying the set would help in this respect, but this conflicted with Geaghan's love of complication, generating heated discussions between the two. Gord took advantage of Vandernoot's leaving the show during the second season to build simpler sets. Panzer explained that since MacLeod left the antique store, "he needed a place to hang out that we thought would be a change, be more masculine." As Gord put it, "basically I just wanted four bare walls. (...) I felt that if the audience could get grounded at least visually in a space that they could understand, they could then move from there so that when [MacLeod] takes you through his strange world you've got a starting point."
