Talk:Dahlia Mason

Article naming
Hey all, I'm confused the whole Dahlia/Harry's wife thing. Should we make a separate page for Harry's wife, or rename the current to Dahlia Mason? How do we know that Dahlia really is the name of Harry's wife? Or even Gillespie for that matter? If she was married to Harry, would her name be Dahlia Mason then? But they divorced, so would she still keep Harry's family's name, Mason?

In the actual game, I believe that the sexy, young Dahlia Harry meets in the Balkan and the Dahlia who's in the Green Lion are both Cheryl's manifestations of memories of her mother. Her mother has blonde hair as seen in the old videotapes, and when Cheryl heads outside to meet her mother. So yeah, I'm confused on what we should do. AlexShepherd 04:00, December 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm fairly sure we know her name is Dahlia at the very least, and that she's blonde. We don't get any confirmation on her last name, though, so... we could either drop the last name entirely, assume that she's Dahlia Gillespie (seeing as all the other characters from SH1 retain their old names), or hypenate her name to something like Dahlia Mason-Gillespie or some such thing, though I prefer one of the first two options.

 * I'm leaning towards erring on the side of continuity here. Since everyone's maintaining names from SH1, I'm happy with keeping it Gillespie until some other document comes forth stating otherwise. I know it makes sense for her to have the last name as Mason, but it's possible she decided to retain her last name. -- Faded-Myth  Discuss   My Workload  06:49, December 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Er... why is her name Dahlia Mason, then...? EmiHinata 00:55, December 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * Whoah whoah whoah, when in the game was it confirmed that Harry married Dahlia? I thought that was one of Cheryl's...confusing twists... In the videotapes at the end, Harry's ex-wife doesn't look similar to Dahlia at all...Did I miss something? -- 11:06, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Voice of Dahlia
Voice in shattered memories of Dahlia is Laura Bailey


 * You got a source? Fall-in 15:02, December 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes imdb (international movie database) it has actors for cartoons games movies etc. Only 3 people are mentioned and they are the people who play Harry Mason, Dahlia and Michael Kaufman. They state that all people who play these characters are uncredited. Vist imdb.com and type in Silent Hill Shattered memories.


 * We generally don't use imdb as a source because it's not official information. I checked Laura Bailey's website and it states that she is the role of Dahlia, so we can definitely add it. Thank you for pointing that out. AlexShepherd 15:13, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Young Dahlia's age
The article states that Young Dahlia is Dahlia at the age that Harry left her:

"Dahlia is seen in two distinct ages during the course of the game. Early on she is seen at the age she was when Harry left her..."

However, I find myself doubting this. Young Dahlia clearly behaves as if her and Harry are just "boyfriend & girlfriend", and probably not married (most of the evidence in the game implies that Harry didn't leave Dahlia until after they were married). Can I get some clarification on this? Unless there is obvious proof that Young Dahlia is Dahlia at the age we see her in the Love Lost ending, that sentence is baseless assumption and ought to be changed. Tce 19:31, April 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * You're correct. I removed it. AlexShepherd 02:52, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Dahlia/Cheryl
Should the "memory" Dahlia really be on the same page as the real Dahlia? Memory Dahlia is the embodiment of Cheryl, but it seems no distinction is really being made to that effect. -- Shoggoth1890 15:27, February 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think it's best to keep it on the same page, otherwise we'll have all these articles:


 * Dahlia Gillespie
 * Dahlia Gillespie (film)
 * Dahlia Mason (real)
 * Dahlia Mason old)
 * Dahlia Mason (young)
 * Dahlia (comics)

If you think you can keep the 3 Dahlias more distinct, go for it. AlexShepherd 19:37, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Good point. It occurred to me a little after posting that the best option may be to have subsections on the one page. That way it'd be unified on a page, with distinctions made between the real, young, and old. I'll attempt it when I have more time later. -- Shoggoth1890 19:54, February 13, 2011 (UTC)
