It's a new production. I've only seen part of the one you reference and it was so much better.
I'm not a fan of Miss Price by any means (If you must know, I killed her off - figuring that she couldn't ride if she were pregnant and pregnancy would also be a risk. There's even a story in my head where widowed Edmund marries Kitty Bennet.) but she's a well-realized character and I don't want her tampered with.
JA presented Mr. Elliot as having cold eyes and not caring for anyone beyond their use. That's classic. Doesn't mean he's a murderer, though.
On the other hand - can you imagine him and, say, Becky Sharp? :)
Henry loved his uncle, loved his sister and, I believe, loved Fanny enough to try changing. He was just weak. And a manipulative jerk, but also weak. If he'd been a touch stronger, he'd have gone back to his estate, and eventually gotten Fanny. Sociopaths don't feel that way about other people. It's one of the definitions.
