It did happen. But, unfortunately, our current host doesn't support the PHP features that are needed to use it.

How many times must these people be told?! It's cat food, not dog kibble.
So I was coming from a better-safe-than-sorry place. (hall2_smiley)
Oh, yes, MB I do understand the definition you and Zahir were going by in your discussion. I don't think given Barnabas' situation and the fact he was whacked in the head as a result, I don't believe he exhibited the tendencies of a drama queen to any greater degree than others to the point of singling him out as having said tendencies.
there is no shortage of drama queens or characters who were something of drama queens on DS.And I definitely agree with mscbryck that pretty much every DS character has something of the drama queen in them. Certainly at one time or another they do. And besides Carolyn, I mean, just look at the way Roger often acts. I love him, but if he isn't prone to bouts of over-dramatization and exaggeration, no one on DS is! Actually, almost any member of the entire Collins family throughout all its various generations could be Drama Queen Syndrome's poster child. Perhaps it's hereditary with them.
Just because he doesn't openly admit to knowing something, that doesn't mean he's ignorant of it.
I don't see the terminology of the phrase to mean anything differently. If someone is something of a drama queen or a drama queen the suggestion is still there the person is overly melodramatic.
... If one goes back and reads Zahir's post, one will note that he says Barnabas was "something of a drama queen," meaning he wasn't necessary a full fledged example but someone who exhibited drama queenish tendancies ...

fans write reams and reams of fanfic that few if any people will ever read.
he never thought he was PLAYING him as a drama queen.
I believe that the epitome of the series was the 1967 phoenix storyline. It successfully blended realistic reactions and day-to-day issues with a compelling supernatural mystery. The early Barnabas episodes are like this too. I think if the writers could have maintained this level of writing, with attention to character and detail, DS could have been even better than what it actually was.
