Love it!!
If it was Quentin's, too bad we never got to see him in it. But then, unlike 1897, we rarely saw the 1840 characters in their bedclothes. I wonder why that was...

Good question. It is somewhat interesting that at around the same time that other soaps were beginning to get a bit more explicit, DS remained relatively chaste. Except for isolated sequences with Carolyn and Jeb and, later, Catherine and Bramwell.

It seems that DC was willing to spare no expense with blood and sex seemed to be a topic not to be depicted. Also odd for a soap is that only Catherine Harridge gets pregnant during the run of the show. Which is quite the opposite of other soaps, both then and now.

DC was hugely skittish when it came to sex on the daytime DS!! Apparently he got over it, though, by the time NoDS came around, as anyone who saw the mistakenly released R-rated version knows well!!)

The NBC DS is somewhat more frank in that regard as well, though the network may have insisted on that. And it was still less explicit that several of the other nighttime soaps.

I'd forgotten that. Still rather tame to the honeymoon tryst between Joan Collins and Lloyd Bochner on Dynasty that showed a lot of skin and was so intense that Bochner's character had a coronary from it.

Yes, by many shows' standards it was tame - but by DS standards it was apparently seismic. I remember reading quite a few comments in the fanzines from fans who were appalled by it. Go figure...)

Well, I'm glad I'm not alone...
The really interesting thing is that when
SHADOWS IN THE '90S: The Dark Shadows Concordance 1991
summarized that scene, a notation was added that says: "[There was quite a bit more footage shot for the love scene, but it was considered too steamy to include.]" Given how those fans had already reacted, can you even imagine how they would have reacted if that "too steamy" footage
had
been included?!)
