One does have to wonder why Barnabas is being referred to as "the vampire patriarch" in so many reports. Sure, he's an old man (in years, if not in appearance), he's the oldest member of the Collins family in almost any century he shows up in, and he often attempts to shepherd or "save" members of the extended Collins familiy or the family as a whole (though more often with disastrous results - though I suppose that's beside the point). However, no one within the storylines ever sees him as their "leader" (excepting Leviathans, which is a special case) or the head of the family - and he's certainly no one's father. And in reality, in at least three instances, the Collins family is actually lead by the matriarchs Edith, Judith and Liz while Barnabas is very much on the scene.
But then, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised because we all know how the Internet works: one site reports something in a certain fashion (Variety in this case) and within a matter of hours the same sort of terms/descriptions are all over the Internet. :-
