Naturally Garth Blackwood would be the best choice.

What about Carolyn? I thought she was one pretty good victim. She was always willing to do anything for Barnabas and was a pretty good spy for him as well. She seemed to enjoy being the victim. She was so good that you almost wanted to hate her most of the time.
I am new to this, and may make mistakes.
Love your comments.

I had such vivid memories of watching this bit of the story way back when. When the announcement that DS was going to be released on home video was first made, there were several episodes I recalled that I knew I would enjoy seeing them, and the one where Stokes declared Eve's as the spirit of the most evil WOMAN who ever lived in the Eighteenth Century was one of them.
You can tell that Leona is eee-vil because she talks and dresses like a drag queen. Where DID she get that hairpiece, anyhow--the Cassandra Collins Wig Barn?
I think it would have been more interesting to have continued the Philippe Cordier story. Perhaps Jonathan Frid could have played Philippe in flashbacks to Danielle's infamous past during the Terror. He did a marvelous job being possessed by Philippe during that seance.
What they shifted the story to, in my opinion, considerably deadens (excuse the pun) the interest in Eve's story. I do think that Marie Wallace gave a marvelous performance in the role. And I think she looks great in that black cocktail dress, even if it is faintly absurd that that is how she was dressed for her first day on Earth. I bet Erica Fitz was ready to kill when she saw that dress.
There's a rather touching tale that a fan wrote about Julia shopping for Eve's dress... can't recall now just where I read it.
Poor Motherless Eve ...

It occurred to me how great it would have been to summon the spirit of SUKI FORBES instead of "Danielle Roget," if they intended to milk the 1795 connection. It would have been equally interesting to have Suki play not only the life force but the body host as well. A great way not only for a new connection to 1795, but for more involvement w/Joe Haskell, who Suki might see as Nathan Forbes. Jane Draper was so enjoyable as Suki it's a shame they never brought her back.

WOOOOHOO!!! YEAH...YEAH...YEAH When I was a teenager, I actually thought Davis was pretty cute in 1795, and he and Vicki made a sweet couple. Watching him as an adult, however, I find him boorish, annoying, bombastic, self-involved and just plain DULL. I would imagine Vicki would prefer Barnabas, Willie or even Carolyn to him!
Now, do you want me to tell you what I REALLY think?

In the middle of all this discussion about the equipment in the lab and the sound effects when they are in use, I don't remember if anyone has commented on the fact that all this electrical stuff is being used in a 200 year old house that is still lit by candles...presumably because it's NEVER BEEN WIRED!!!
It occurred to me a day or two ago, while watching Barnabas skulking around down in the lab, that there are CANDLES in the wall sconces, right in the middle of all the equipment.
Was the set director an idiot? Why leave the candles to draw attention to a really stupid inconsistency?
I know, I know, these shows were never meant to be seen more than once, much less scrutinized by fanatics like us. But some of these blunders were just TOO egregious....like candles right next to the gizmos and gadgets!
I happened to see the great Pat Cooper on TV the other day. Mr. Cooper says that when his wife puts Martha Stewart on the tube, he can't hear what Ms. Stewart is saying because she speaks so darned softly! "You should try to arrange the flowers in this manner," she explains, in a sotto voce tone. "Turn up the TV volume!" Mr. Cooper urges his wife.
By the way, the sixty-something Mr. Cooper reports that when he tried the new, blue wonder pill, Viagra, only his right leg stiffened up! (Maybe Roger should have tried that pill before Cassandra split!)
Well, you and Joe will have to get in line behind Quentin. He and Willie have had a relationship for years.
love
