First they said Dante's Cove and The Lair were gay versions of DS. Well, now this article is saying the film Affinity is a "kind of a lesbian Dark Shadows."
personally, i thought that Barnabas, Julia, Roger and Tom Jennings were gay. I think carolyn would have flipped if given the right incentive. Maggie would have been appaled at the idea of being with a woman. I'm not sure how david would have grown up. But, that's what i think anyway.
