I watched the whole series in its entirety last go-round on SciFi, and the final arc really perplexed me. For years and years, nearly all the primary actors played multiple parts, but Barnabas was always just Barnabas... Then in the final arc of the show, he suddenly plays another character for the first time--his own son, at least in parallel time...
Since Barnabas was, more or less, the character which kept the series going, why did they discard him near the end? Was it a suggestion of the producers or writers? Was Jonathan tired of the role? Just curious if anyone's ever heard any insider info or speculation about this...
