Tom was the brother (most say twin, but some dispute that part) of Chris Jennings and also played by Don Briscoe.  MB's reference was to when Tom had become a vampire and bit Julia.  That was his way of calling her.

Yay!!

Some answers:

Yes, 1970 PT is the Jekyll/Hyde story

In 1897 it was Sandor, Magda's husband who released Barnabas.

I haven't tried computing the years to see if it works, but Daniel would be the great-grandfather of the 1897 siblings.  If Grandmama Edith IS the same Edith we see in 1840, married to Gabriel, then Daniel is the previous generation.

I don't remember the full scene with the "secret," but Barnabas is introduced to her and she says, "You're the secret!"  I think the shock of that is what killed her.  I don't know why he was left alone with her, but he must have been, because she died before anyone else could learn the secret.

And yes, I'm sure it's later that Carl turns up.
