I was at the 1983 Festival in Newark where Ron Sproat made his first appearance. I think this is before every single moment of festival activity was videotaped so I am going on memory here. I don't recall him taking credit for the creation of Barnabas, though he might have. It's been a long time. I do recall him saying that he tried to anchor the show in some small level of reality by including little character bits here and there. For example, Roger still made references to the cannery. It was at this festival where he stated that his idea for future story was to reveal that Vicki was Elizabeth's daughter. When Alexandra left so abruptly, there was no point in pursuing that angle. And Sproat wasn't around much longer either.
