it was sort of an odd flub on frid's part because josette wasn't even part of the parallel-time storyline.
perhaps just working with kls brought josette to mind.

was josette ever mentioned during parallel-time?i forget.

Yes, Josette was mentioned in the week before #1018 aired/taped:

Re: Robservations 7/8/03 - #1010-1011 - Interview With a Vampire--Finis!

... Will, alone with Barnabas in the secret shelf room, looks over a notebook. We were last talking of Josette duPres, he reminds Barnabas. I do not wish to speak of her, says the vampire. Angrily, Will says, I need to know about her--the book is nothing about her. ...

parallel-time maggie was the only kls character barnabas didn't persue romantically.

And yet, he almost bit her (in the same #1018), presumedly because she reminded him of Josette.  Perhaps it was because he had recently discussed vampirizing (is that a word?) his former fiancee with Will, because I can't think of any other reason for his sudden decision to attack PT Maggie.

Yeah. I thought wrapping your body around his legs and feet was a bit much.  Poor man couldn't even move!

   You are eeeevil.

They haven't even *annouced* there's a Festival in Brooklyn this year on the DS Fest site.

The site isn't THAT slow, lol.  The general info is under Current News, but no, no schedule of events yet.

Welcome, Roger Collins!

Could you post the website's URL?

I think originally, before 1795 and even before Sarah showed up as a ghost, that the age difference was more believable, as in, they were only a few years apart.  I seem to recall him telling someone (Willie maybe) that she died while they were BOTH young children, and he of course grew up but she stayed young when she was a ghost.  Midnite, can you confirm?

Ack!

 

In #276, when Willie accuses Barnabas of not understanding his grief over you-know-who's death, Barnabas tells him that long before he met Josette he lost a friend when she was very young.  Then Sarah appears.

In #332, when Vicki describes David's antique toy soldier to Julia, the doctor says she remembers seeing a photo in a Colllins family album of a boy holding a toy soldier and a girl holding a doll.

Math aside, those are the only early clues I can recall that imply a smaller age difference between Barnabas and Sarah. 

Behold Selby with a full beard.

That was pleasant.  So was seeing his name above Jack Scalia's in the credits. 

as i said before my daughter
thinks i'm the most crazed DS fan

If your daughter is at the Fest, I'll make sure she's distracted when you meet David Selby.  I know I'm grateful my kids didn't witness my first time meeting him. 

Hope you feel better soon!
