Current Talk '08 II / Re: What actors did you enjoy from the 1991 version?

Been a while since I've seen these episodes but I thought that Joanna Going was an excellent Vicki. Julianna McCarthy managed to make Abigail even nastier than Clarice did, no small achievement. Michael T. Weiss was good as Joe but better as Peter. Veronica Lauren was a great Sarah. My particular favorite was Barbara Blackburn who brought a nice comic touch to the early Carolyn scenes. And her Cybill Shepard-ish version of Millicent was one of the show's highlights for me.
I liked Lysette Anthony but I would have enjoyed her more without the Pepe Le Pew French accent. Barbara Steele's is more subtle.
Ben Cross has his moments but I found that he came up short as Barnabas. Especially after one of my friends pointed out that when he was in "bite mode", he looked remarkably like Ed O'Neill on Married with Children!
