Title: Dark Shadows 2004
Post by: gbsmiles on April 06, 2004, 08:19:21 AM
Hey...With a new Dark Shadows coming soon I thought I would put together a small site to compare all the actors who have portrayed the characters through the years.  '66 '91 '04....Enjoy

Nice site!  :)

I thought Jenna Dewan was to play a new character named Sophia.

I don't remember Quentin in 1991.  From what I recall they did the coming of Barnabas story and then went to the past and ended when Victoria returned to the present.

Very nicely done gbsmiles!  It's interesting to see the differences in characters and how they've changed over the years.
Thanks for sharing this,  and welcome to the group!!

Yes I grouped some of the characters who's name have changed but where basically the same, like stokes/woodard and mrs. johnson/Sophia.  I added a Quentin for the 1991 version because the actor was going to play him so I figured why not...Glad you liked it though.  I needed something visual to see the differences in the casting in the different versions and I thought others might too.

Nice job. They sure found a dead ringer for Dan Curtis, didn't they?  ;)

I read somewhere that Adrian Paul was supposed to play Quentin in the 1990s series, but they didn't get that far.

Will be interesting to see whether the WB series introduces Quentin in the first relay of shows, but leaves him in the wings for something BIG to attract attention later on.

cuz you all know that if there's one thing Mr Quentin Collins is, it's BIG.

My new favorite female DS playah, Jenna Dewan = Sophia = Mrs. Johnson..... Ummm, yeah...   ::)

Maybe Mrs. J's grand-daughter?  "I insist, Mrs. Stoddard and Mr. Collins, that Sophia here is the spitting image of myself at the same age!"   :o

Roger:  "Well, Sarah, at least she'll look better in that sassy French maid's costume than you do!"  [62b2]

I must say the they nailed the Willie, Joe and Anglelique on the Looks!

Lysette couldn't scare small children on a good day! But what a look Ivanna has! she looks like she could drip evil.

Matt has the same boy next door good looks that John had. Jim was too weird!

Jason and Joel have the same facial structure and just on a side note Jason is good eye candy if nothing else!

Great site!

Wonderful site, gbsmiles. Love getting the comparative glances. I really hope they're going to do Collinwood itself justice this time around.

Huh.  I never even thought of that.  It would be a nice touch to make her Mrs. Johnson's relative.  I was a little worried when I heard of the change but if they had the same idea you had, I would be much better with it.

I'm telling yez, if they don't give John Karlen at least one measly guest shot as Matt Czuchry's grandfather or great uncle, it will be one big missed opportunity.

The heretic in me hopes that they do keep her blond - and not only blond, but with the short hair. Talk about forever shattering the "dream" image of the governess with long dark hair!  [lghy]

Just as long as they don't pull that gull-durn Eve Arden blond wig they made TLATKLS wear for the first few episodes in the original, MB!  I'd rather see that thing on Alec Newman's head.

Well, I posted my little comment on blonde Vicki under another topic.  To nutshell it...impending apocalyptic sign.

Now I do fancy this Jason fellow who's slated to play Joe. Wonder if they will bring Maggie back.....hmmmm.... if so......

Where do I go to audition for Maggie???? :-* :-*

Always, Minja[chrmg]
