One of the reasons why Dark Shadows needs to be run in perpetuity is because you always notice something "new" each time. This time, I discovered that they are using the musical number designed for Maggie - I'll call it "Maggie's Theme" - for Daphne. That little soundtrack diddly almost always played whenever a scene involved TLATKLS as the central character, whether it opened with a view of the Evans Cottage, or Maggie descending the stairs at Collinwood, et. al.
Of course, me viewing anything dealing with TLATKLS as sacrosanct, that theme should've been reserved for her alone, and once she departed the show, that should've been the last heard of its musical strains. As much as I like Daphne, "Maggie's Theme" shouldn't've been turned into a generic "Governess' Theme". Robert C. should've composed something just for her.
But then it makes me wonder if Dan Curtis, if the series was intended to continue, had plans to have Daphne (in some plot set back in 1971 onward) basically take Maggie's place. She would be the new ingenue, the way Maggie kinda replaced Vicki. Maybe that was the reason for transfering Maggie's Theme over onto to Daphne, to prepare the audience for the transition.
Still, as one of those who will forever be in love with Maggie, I would've prefered had they allowed Maggie to take her music with her.
