Well, I am definitely looking forward to this show. Here's my speculations...
1.) Remember, Conrad Bain, Mitch Ryan, and Humbert have all attended shows in the past, as did Jerry Lacey. However, I would be very very happy to have any of them return.
2.) My guesses as to who new would be:
Kate Jackson because as stated, she has begun doing a few fan shows lately, and seemed very happy with her association with Dark Shadows as the Dan Curtis Day at the Director's Guild.
Dan himself. Isn't about time HE came?
Alexandra Moltke (and everyone is on notice to be nice and talk about DS! No Jeremy Irons stuff, okay. We want her to come back!)
David Hennessy Which would be just too cool. As I've said before, such as at the Curtis day, David's s character was so imprtant for us little boys of 1966 to "project" ourselves into the storyline. He was someone I could relate to.
Other possibilites
Lela Swift Not sure on early convention history, but as someone who probably worked on more episodes directly than anyone else, she should be there every year.
Sam Hall As head writer, I bet he has great stories...
We need to get Matthew Hall tt
3.) I second the idea of having a few "day players" or short term characters/performers. I would like to have Elizabeth Eis (Buffy), Susan Sullivan (why not, and she and David Selby have a working relationship), Michael Hadge (Buzz), Michael Maitland (Michael) and especially Diana Davilla
(Julianka)
4.) Please also bring back Robert Rodan, Chris Pennock and Roger Davis!
Can I pack now?
