I had no idea that DS was the first show to do what they claim. Very interesting...

This is very interesting. No doubt yet another way that DS broke boundaries and was a trendsetter. I think that we owe a lot to HAA in his portrayal of Blair because I doubt any other actor in that role would have had as much delicious, wicked fun, as he did. Of the characters HAA played on DS, Blair was always the standout and was one of the best villains, in my opinion, of the entire show. I always felt like Evan Handley was just a previous incarnation of Blair, similar to the Miranda DuVal/Angelique connection we later discovered during the 1840 storyline.
