Welcome, A.C.!
Hmmm. The Jason storyline -- well, I agree Dennis Patrick was perfection as that rogue. There were so many times I wanted to smack him! I did, though, find it tedious at times. I wondered how long it would take for Liz to find her backbone. Still, it's a shame, as was said here, that Joan Bennett and Louis Edmonds became "props" for all the various Barnabas storylines. Also, I agree that dropping the Vicki parentage storyline was frustrating, to say the least.
