Did anyone on DS ever have sex?

[Thom]

We know about Barney and Angie's affair in Martinique and Josette and Jeremiah in 1795..but did anyone else ever have sex on this show? Vicki was too chaste to do it with Burke. Heck after their wedding did Vicki even have time to do anything with Jeff/Peter?

[Minja]

Spoilers for those who haven't seen the show through to it's end......

Figure those with kids.....

Roger and Laura

Edward and Laura

Quentin and Jenny

Mordecai Grimes and Mrs. Grimes (Jeremy's parents)

Bramwell and Catherine

Quentin and Samantha

Sam Evans and Mrs. Evans (Maggie's parents)

PT Quentin and Angelique

Gabriel and Edith

1796 Daniel and Mrs. Collins (Daniel carried on after Joshua lost his kids)

As far as affairs....

1897 Quentin sowed his wild oats often....

1796 Daniel and Mrs. Collins (Daniel carried on after Joshua lost his kids)

Ah, yes, who could ever forget the watery apparition of Harriet? Wouldn't it have been fascinating if we'd ever found out the whole story of why Daniel caused her to fall from Widows' Hill?

Phillip and Megan Todd

We can assume they had sex, but there never was any proof.

as did Nathan Forbes....of course Nathan was married to Suki....

Hmmm - and how do we know he wasn't all talk and no action?

There are assumptions as to who had sex **before** (e.g. the abundance of off-spring) but who had sex ON DS?? :

Carolyn and Jeb
Catherine & Bramwell
Barn and Angie (hinted at very strongly I admit)
Beth and Quentin
Daphne and Gerard (hey, he was laying atop her!)
anyone else??

[Cassandra]

I would think Cassandra & Roger have done so by now. Unless of course, she is drugging him everynight.
 

[Gerard]

People on Dark Shadows having - gulp - sex?  Like we use to say about our parents:  they would never do anything like that!

Gerard

[Birdie]

The only thing I can add is: I certainly hope so...

Birdie

[Barnabas]

I always suspected that Carolyn and "Buzz" were "doing it", but they never actually say...

Gerard

I'm with you Gerard all those children were born like us

This fall into the category ... what you always wanted to know about Dark Shadows but were afraid to ask.  Or love among the shadows.

The only two couples I can think of off-hand who definitely had made love during the run of DS were Carolyn/Jeb and Bramwell/Catherine.  1795 Barn and Angie had almost without a doubt, been lovers in pre-DS days, so I'm not counting them.

Am I forgetting someone?

Incidentally, this is one aspect I miss about classic film and television; the romantic subtlety they used in love scenes, leaving so much more to our fertile imaginations.  There were many scenes in DS which sizzled with romantic and erotic tension.  Quentin/Beth and Catherine/Bramwell, to name only two, but there are many more!

Happybat, ever the romantic

Silly me...I should have added to my post Did Anyone on DS ever have sex on the show or on screen?


One I can add, at the end of the 1840/41 storyline Quentin rescues Daphne from the locked bedroom and he MOUNTS her right away and sends her to the bed - they showed this and that was one of those late 60's/early 70's Cut-Away Assume they're doing it deals, just like lovers would kiss in front of a fireplace and then fall to the floor and the camera would pan the fireplace.

I would think Cassandra & Roger have done so by now. Unless of course, she is drugging him everynight.
 

Alas, my guess here is that he is sleeping the sleep of the heavily sedated each and every night.  There's a great scene sometime in the future where he and Cassandra are playing chess.  She is distracted (probably because she would much rather be with Tony, Barnabas or just possibly any other man on the planet but him).  Roger twits her about that.  She acts surprised, implies that they are doing what he likes to do, just like always.  He says something snarky to her, the exact sentence I can't recall, but it's something along the lines (more elegantly expressed though very snarky) of "we don't do what I would like to do every night."

In answer to Thom's question, no, we never see anyone having sex.  I think the closest we get to it is Catherine and Bramwell and even that's just implied.

I guess we won't know for sure about some things, but it is fun to speculate.  I do wonder about Roger and Cassandra - my bet is also that she kept him at bay.  Another couple I've wondered about, from 1897, is Judith Collins and Tim Shaw.  Towards the end of that story he comes to her assistance in a big way and I've ofter wondered if a relationship didn't develop from that.

My, oh my, how in the WORLD did I miss this? Just reading about it, makes me....well, let's just say it is a good thing I am "master of my domain!" (Or a bad thing dependant on your perspective!)

[Craig_Slocum]

Do dreams count? I can't remember who it was, but I think it was Daphne having a dream about Gerard, and they were on a bed, all lovey dovey, sexual prelude.
