Which is exactly what makes him so fascinating.

Gabriel ... Did he have faults? most definitely! But in some ways he's a tragic man as well.
A major annoying "What?" was when in 1970 Julia discovers through her search of Quentin's portrait, that Angelique has returned and is now married to Sky. Angelique informs Julia that she doesn't want to be involved in any of the Collins' problems, that she's found a happy life with her husband and doesn't want that ruined. She pleads with Julia to allow her to live a happy life without her past deeds being revealed, and Julia agrees.
Firstly, this annoys me because if Julia is so devoted to Barnabas, and knowing all the terrible things Angelique subjected him to, highest on the list, the death of many of his family members, she would have at least cut Angelique with a few sharp remarks, then demanded why she shouldn't run and tell barnabas of Angelique's return. Instead, she placidly goes along with Angelique's requests, accept for involving her with smuggling Quentin's painting in order to uncover it from the landscape.
Barnabas does eventually learn of Angelique's existence and marriage, and he goes to her home to ask for her help.
Barnabas should realize by now that Angelique isn't to be trusted, why would he want her help with anything? It seems like he'd want to stay as far away from her as possible. Angelique tells him she doesn't want to help him in any way, that her life with Sky is very important and she doesn't want it ruined by any Collins' antics.
Barnabas, in an understanding tone says he understands her feelings completely and doesn't want to destroy her happiness with her husband.
But why was Barnabas so understanding of her, willing to keep her past deeds quiet, willing to allow her happiness when she so blatantly obliterated his life in 1795? Shouldn't he have reminded her of her selfish motives in the past, using his own knowledge to his advantage to get her to do what he wanted? He was just so docile about the entire thing, as though nothing harsh had ever been between them!
Yet another moment: After returning from 1995, Barnabas and Julia inform Quentin of his possible future fate, explaining of his madness in the face of family tragedy, and that he will become very attached to the ghost of a woman named Daphne. Fully aware of what is to come, Daphne appears to Quentin, and instead of sending her away, or at the very least protesting her presence with him, he welcomes her, simply because she's a beautiful woman. If knowledge is power, then he didn't use what he knew to avoid a fate he knew was to come. He continues to be involved with Daphne, all the while knowing the dangers, but obviously he doesn't care about his sanity or the children if he is willing to set this all aside for the sake of beauty.
Jeb Hawkes. ... I think that his relationship with Carolyn was the only one in the history of the series that generated any genuine sexual chemistry between the two characters. I really sensed that they were attracted to one another physically as well as emotionally.
Virginia was wonderful in the role. She and Chris Pennock really shined, their battles as Samantha and Gabriel were fun to watch.
I don't trust any reporter who thinks Night of Dark Shadows was shot at Lockwood-Mathews!
I don't think Dan Curtis would have tolerated Joan's "it's my way or no way at all!" attitude that she had.
But no doubt even Curtis would never have believed the show could develope an adult audience.
I never said he did, go back and re-read my post!
You said "perhaps he didn't actually walk off the set" so there had to exist a reason to even make the clarification/correction in the first place.
I just look at it that he and the one in the movie are two different Barnabas.
Personally, if I was to write such a novel, the opening scene would be the one where the Collins family is burying Barnabas at the crossroads of some major intersection in Maine, accompanied by the Rite of Exorcism being intoned by a Cardinal, at the very least.
Darn, I had no idea that these prices were for a limited time only.
