the one that gets me is "your very kind"  arghhhhhhhh

I think the words  they used the very most was "grave danger"...I think every character on the show used that one,especially prof stokes.. :P

Don't call me stupid...but what exactly is hand wringing???


Adra ?!?


P.S...I have noticed Julia moving her left arm a lot while talking.

Hand wringing: (han ringin') a form of nervousness?..it's the art of putting your hands together..one hand grabs the other..the other one grabs back..etc..I figure it must be the way some people like to express the anxiety their character is feeling :-/

Barnabas frequently clasps his hands together in front of his midsection (like he's an NFL referee signaling for a penalty).

Of course, when she's in fear of imminent danger, Julia Hoffman often throws up her arms, with her hands wide open, while squinting her eyes and opening her mouth wide open.  ("Oh, Barnabas, where are you!?!")

My favorite Julia Hoffman line is that question she often asks in that wonderfully authoritative tone of hers: "Jeff, What are you doing here?"  Or, as PT Ms. Hoffman to Mrs. Stoddard: "What are you doing in this room?" (in Angelique Stokes-Collins' room).

Yes I've seen Barnabas do that many a time..I also noticed that he has a bad case of the shakes alot..I always wondered if that was from..oh...say a party from the night before?   :o

The one that bothers me is "frightened". Someone never says their scared-they are always frightened. Never even afraid.

Another one is "destroyed". Julia will not be killed, she will be "destroyed". Barnabas is particularly fond of this expression.

Do you mean to say that you don't like Joan Bennett's very best finishing school pose?  ;)


LMAO! Well it's very statuesque, and very dominating if she's standing still, or if she's at the window glaring at someone .... but whenever she moves and talks it's rather .... irritating. Really irritating. [vryangy]

In the beginning episodes Barnabus appeared in he used to blink allot -

In future shows, KLS began to take a breathe and sign before each of her lines. ;)

Julia's staring off to some unknown point with her mouth open and slightly pursed lips just kills me  :o

lmao...I love it when she squints her eyes as if she's trying to see something (possibly the cue cards?) and tilts her head back~ There was only ONE Julia  :D

barnabas and nicholas did use the word "destroy" a lot...sounds like they are talking about a car or a toy instead of a human being..(wait a minute, half the folks arent human beings)..." i shall destroy you" ;D
its a sudden death that i know, my father wrote me to say that, my cousin, uncle jeremiah was, was very disturbed.

Yes!  Also, when she's trying to think of something (like what to do about Adam), she looks up, like she's searching for something.

What really gets me is when some poor soul who has been kept in the dark for sometime about something (usually mysterious) finally starts to see the light and will ask about it, only to be met with the usual reply back "NEVERMIND!!"   Barnabas is famous for saying that one. ;)
