[Amy Jennings Fan]

The characters I liked in Dark Shadows were Barnabus Collins, Amy Jennings, Chris Jennings, Tom Jennings and Joe Haskell.

I love to watch Barnabas and Angelique together.  When they're together on screen, you can feel the excitment.  They say these terrible things to each other, but really, they don't mean it.

All the wackiness!

Terry308--what do you mean .Angie didn't mean it when she helped engineer the deaths of his family and fiancee?? wow what a shock!  And he didn't mean it when he set her on fire?

 Gothic mystery--spooky old house, young governess, strange family.
Interesting and original characters like Willie, Julia, Vicky, David, Quentin.

lots and lots to love...but it's a certain raven-haired governess that really makes me swoon.

Lets see, things I loved about DS...

Vicki, Barnabas, the werewolf, Caroline, Liz, Maggie, 1970PT, and just all the weirdness of the show

To this day, the DS theme music  just thrills me.  Okay, down girl!  I loved the decrepit charm of the Old House, Eagle Hill Cemetery, the chemistry between Barnabas and Julia and the humanization of both.  The scenes between Drs. Woodard and Hoffman were splendid (the shock of Dave's death was dulled by the fact that another actor played the role at the time).  The ghosts of Quentin and Gerard.  Vampire Tom Jennings attacking what appeared to be a VERY willing Julia.  Every time Angelique was destroyed was always a good day for me!  Every time Angelique reappeared had me running my fingers through my hair (like a certain DS actor) and muttering "here we go again".  Barnabas when he was BAD and the whole Josette kidnapping storyline.  Actually, too many to list.  The fact that we are even discussing this forty years later says volumes about DS.  It's immortal!

Other then the obvious things like Frid and Vickie, I'm very enamored with the secret rooms.  Especially when it seems to storm all the time making outside play difficult, it's a child's paradise having so many secret rooms to play in with costumes and dolls, etc.

Congratulations Terry 308 on your Sr. status.

Each person's memory of a unique TV show that's still fun to talk about all these years later. Oh, and Don Briscoe.... and Grayson Hall... and Frid, and Alexandra, and Joan Bennett, and the stories, the music, the suspense..... ah, heck, what's not to love?! 

[Heather]

Actually, I love almost everything about the show - the complex characters, the suspenseful, creative and wacky storylines...the talented actors, hunks and goddesses that make the show great to watch again and again and *again*.... 

And might I add, last but NOT least, the intelligent, thoughtful and wonderfully wicked people I've come to know and consider friends, all because of my obsession...er...healthy interest... in this fascinating show.    

[Raineypark]

Willie's unrequited love for Maggie Evans.

He never gets it right.  She never returns his affection.  He suffers the tortures of the damned, but he never stops loving her, or trying to protect her....usually at his own peril.

I was in my early teens during the first run of the show......I frequently wanted to smack him in the head for that relationship.....but I always hoped someone would love ME that much some day.... .

[TERRY308]

Thank you everybody for that warm congratulations  I'm very thrilled to get an invite to the Early Bird Dinner.

Come on Julia 99...Angie was mad, and Barnabas wasn't going to let him be pushed around by her, they were young, one thing led to another....   and to some people, sure, I can see where it could get out of hand...
but where I stand, they were passionate about each other and where it came down to it, they (Barnabas and Angelique) would do anything for each other.  I wish I had a man like that.
