I never saw her again in any TV shows or soaps after that.

According to imdb.com, Dark Shadows was Betsy Wetsy's only television or film work.

...how about the attire that both Angelique and Eve never took off? (W)hat the hell are they? Evening gowns? lingerie?

I'm not sure about Angelique's flowing frock, but I believe that Eve's horrendous costume was part of a failed line of HookerWear from K-Mart!

They should have just written the character of Vickie out of the story...the writers...had to have a good idea when Alexandra would be leaving the show, and had ample time to rewrite or revise the storyline.

It does seem like bad planning.

But Dark Shadows always seemed to have a bad habit of cutting the emotional resonance down to nil when a character exited.

It's like when Burke Devlin died offscreen or having another actor play Dave Woodard in that character's emotionally charged final days.

I won't even touch this one!

That's the difference between Monica and Betsy.

...or does Betsy Durkin look a lot like Monica Lewinsky? Especially in that sleeveless navy blue number!

...and oh, what a wicked vampire is Tom, ululating his tongue in such a naughty way!

You got that right!

I didn't know whether Tom was going to bite the New Vicki or pleasure her!

He no longer holds the power over people that he could use to his advantage.

Except for Julia and Willie.

Despite the fact that he has threatened to end their lives on several occasions, they stay loyal to the ol' sourpuss...

Now that's power!

...if people had been embalmed they couldn't have been dug up and used for parts.

Indeed!

It would be very inconsiderate for Collinsport's dearly departed populace to be embalmed. After all, you never know when you'll have the need for a man-made man or be forced to create for him a mate.

In some towns, people take up jogging or the like to stay physically fit; in Collinsport, however, it seems grave robbing is the way to stay in shape!

Connie "worked for the phone company" when she and her little friend called up Grayson Hall!

Dante Alighieri would weep with disappointment to find Hell was such a chintzy, bourgeois, badly accessorized place.

On top of everything else, the magazines in Hell's Waiting Room are really old!

All they have are back issues of Highlights For Possessed Children, Rolling Skull, Evil Aficionado and--scariest of all--Rosie.

Julia is as concerned as she can be for someone who isn't Barnabas.

(W)hy couldn't (Elizabeth) go to Boston shopping!

My thoughts exactly! Why must we endure this tiresome backburner storyline? Surely Joan Bennett was used to having a teeny-tiny part in the show by this time!

...Carolyn is the only one who mentions the resemblance, and then promptly accepts and forgets about it.

Amnesia is a contagious disease at Collinwood--while acceptance and forgetfulness should be the motto below the family crest.

When Vicki returns to the drawing room seance from 1795 and Julia's true identity is finally revealed, Elizabeth readily accepts the good doc's ultra-lame excuses as to why she's actually hanging around there.

Not that Julia would ever be up to no good...[angl]
