I don't think so - which makes WHL's, uh, "fascination" with her 1970PT counterpart all the more interesting.

Nowadays, I find a lot of the stories in those later years gratuitous - they simply don't need that much going on ... by 1970 the show needed less story but more reaction - I don't think it could cope with that much drama, but badly could have used some resonance amongst the community of characters. ... I just wish they could have slowed down more.
Well, excuse the hell out of me for failing to recognize and sign on to the prevailing wisdom. I never accepted the premise, and never forgave a damned thing.
I detested, loathed and despised the character of Barnabas Collins the entire time I watched what I saw of the first run, and I never gave up anticipating the day when he would pay for his transgressions. Did I know deep down that the chances of that happening were virtually nil? Yes. But hope springs eternal.
I never saw all the other characters as mere supporting players to The Star.
But in one of the more idiotic plot twists, Nicky waves his magic wand and suddenly Maggie's inviting Barnabas over for coffee and etchings instead.
I'm not saying that a lacklustre character should be matched with an equally lacklustre performance, but I don't blame Lisa Richards for just turning up, saying the lines and leaving it at that...
I see it's like 32K (Feb) to 80K (Apr/May)...is that how many times people have read the various posts?
Is this an automatic calculation?
Just for asking...why is it there?
Naturally, I would love a series of Grayson bobbleheads:
...
Natalie DuPres, with hair piled high
Carlotta Drake, with flowing dress and sinister smile
Apparently this line of dialogue amuses the hell out of MB...who now has us all celebrating "Cheap Insufferable Pig" day in honor of the occasion.

My post count has been at 180 for the 3 or 4 times I've posted. Have the counts been frozen or something? Not a problem or anything, just wondering.
It's still better than her "bed head" do in HoDS. What was up with that?!
WHERE did you get the image of the Piggy puppet? It looks demonic enough to have appeared on the show! And of course, Jebez' new look is a distinct improvement.
Guess you're not really all that overworked around here after all, if you have time to indulge in THIS sort of thing!
I watched it the last time around and loved it.

I just think DC was a short-sighted tightwad
