For Centuries the Collins' Family has opened their door to many houseguests. I am sure our ProfStokes could give us the exact number (perhaps even the break down between male and female ) of live-in visitors. From this interesting group, please select the individual that you would like to have come visit and why.

Pre-vampire Barnabas. He seemed so gracious.

I live in an exciting city, Las Vegas, there's so much to do and see here, so this calls for a special visitor, Harry Johnson. After we date for a while, we can get married in one of the lovely wedding chapels. ;)

The Collins' evidently never heard the maxim that guests and fish stink after three days. My pick would be the visitor who never left, Dr. Julia. Right now, in the aftermath of a car accident and the trials of dealing with the insurance company, she AND her bag of wonders would both be welcome. And if things get to be too much for me to handle, she can always get me a room at Wyndcliffe.

I'd enjoy having post-bitten Willie. He was such a terrific carpenter and maid!
Love, Robin
-
;) I'd have Barnabas, pre-vampire or not. Whenever I get around him, I giggle like a ten year old girl. he-he
-
The problem with inviting anyone is that they all act like the man who came to dinner and never seem to leave.

Hmmm. I would say lover-boy Roger, but I think he and I would do much better on his home turf. Can't imagine him in my little house!
I can only think of the time that Barney was ringing some one's door bell and my son sighed and said "I wish Barnabas would come visit US!"
-
Kinda reminds me of John Belushi in Sat Night live The
Guest who wouldn't leave!
luckily Collinwood was big enough to hide in your own wing!
But have to say Willie because he was so eager to please and I hate housework!

VAM, if I didn't know you better, I'd think that sounded like a challenge. ;) Since you mentioned it...

That was my whole intention of having Harry Johnson come for a visit and stay and never leave. I have no problem with that! Prof Stokes, I just knew you would come up with those answers. You really are amazing, good work!

Dr. Julia was obviously **servicing** someone off-stage., would that be Roger or Elizabeth?? hmmm ;) Am I gonna get tossed off this board for even suggesting it?? :o

I wouldn't mind having Julia as a house guest. Not only is she a doctor, but she also seems genuinely concerned about the people around her. :)

I know you are into numbers ProfStokes! ;)
You forgot some visitors from the past - Angelique/Valerie in 1897 and 1840 ( I guess you considered her a Collins). Also Lady Kitty stayed at Collinwood in 1897.
Joanna Mills (Daphne's sister) was a guest in 1840.
The Dupres (Josette, Natalie and Andre) and Angelique were their first visitors in 1795.

A reminder... Online posting and messaging precludes readers from seeing facial expressions or hearing the writer's voice, which in the absence of certain emoticons might be the only clues as to whether the person is joking is not.
But of course we know that once someone begins a topic, its author doesn't get to dictate who or how (assuming it's within the board guidelines) they can respond to it.

As a former med-tec...I believe the "Mother's Little Helpers" of the 60's were called Seconal.[/color]

Midnite,
I would think by now it is a given that I am joking or teasing...I will certainly stop if it is a problem for the posters.

Favorite guest:
Willie (post bite) [aprvy]
Least favorite:
Hallie (at any point) [goofy] (unless of course she would suddenly become mute)

That's my point-- please don't assume it's a given. And in this situation, I have only to read my messages to know it wasn't clear to everyone that you were kidding. But if you mean stop joking or teasing, no way. A smiley-- ;), ;D, J/K (just kidding, not John Karlen, hee hee), or even an LOL helps.

Julia99's question and Minja's answer concerning favorite pills or dolls (as Nealy [crazd] in VOD would say LOL) of the 60's reminded me of an old movie circa mid-60's (can't remember the title) where someone is having a fit of some kind in a department store and a big crowd forms around whoever it was. Before long someone yells does anyone have any Valium at which time everyone in the crowd whips out a bottle and thrusts it at the person who asked.
And I also remember once that one of my aunts loved to like to brag that she "never had to take a nerve pill in her life" as my mother (her sister) muttered under her breath...maybe not, but she's sure caused a few other people to take them! ::)

Joanna Mills (Daphne's sister) was a guest in 1840.
Actually, Joanna did not stay at Collinwood - Samantha wouldn't hear of it.
Personally, I wouldn't mind Angelique/Cassandra staying over at my place for a few days. In exchange for room and board I'd ask her to perform a few incantations directed at my local bank and the IRS.
;D
