"He IS just whistling Dixie!"

Willie: "Look, Dr. Woodard, I'm real sorry you had to take on a second job and all to make ends meet but we don't need a Kirby. We ain't even got electricity!"

...what Magda was so obviously coveting - the very hairbow she was wearing!

Sobering, isn't it?

Happy belated birthday, Abe.

I believe Roger was scheduled to be killed off in the pre-airing show synopsis. Perhaps he was written so despicably so that everyone who would eventually be watching the series would cheer his death. Of course that all changed. Much like the 13 week Barnabas character - so villainous! I kept thinking, "There's no way he is going to be able to get out of this. How can this be?".

I too started watching DS after Barn's arrival. I started well into 1897. I was shocked at how nasty many of the characters had started off (including Barn & Quentin). It was a great experience, though. Like watching a whole other show. Kept my eyes glued to the screen.

Never really cared for the present day characters until I saw them from the beginning. Now most of them are my faves.

In light of the current discussion going on in

It's official: Dark Shadows returns as a film with Johnny Depp

I'll throw this out there. I am wondering what DS fans think about possible sequels to the depp film (should it take place present day) using the same present day cast for flashback storylines vs a different cast for flashback storylines?
