He adds that the glasses were made by his friend, Dr Jacoby. Dr Jacoby was a character in Twin Peaks who was frequently seen wearing the same kind of glasses.
  • Dr. Jacoby appeared in General Hospital on September 15[1] and 19, 2000[2]. There is a blooper reel featuring Dr.Jacoby.

Disputed Westphall connection in Twin Peaks[]

  • In Sunset Boulevard, an unseen character named Gordon Cole is mentioned. David Lynch is an admirer of the film and played a character named Gordon Cole who actually appears. While this reference is intentional, this Gordon Cole is of a vastly different age and career compared to that of the Sunset Boulevard character.
