I've asked questions of 'mature' posters (ie, people who were old enough watching orig. run); now I'd like to ask the WOMEN who were around 11-15 during orig. run...
Did everyone see the recent post about who was the scarier ghost??? Quentin vs. Gerard?
I never had seen the whole show through, so I hadn't noticed how they tried

So, for the babes on here who were old enough during orig. run,.....
Seeing Quentin :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Did any girls fall in love with him first time around?

It's nice to be so young. I wasn't 11 until 1975.

Well, I wish I could help but I was rather a fickle viewer originally. I missed a few episodes, came back to a time change and never could figure out what the heck was going on and stopped watching for a while. Now I hear the explanation at the beginning of the show when they change the time period and wonder why that didn't clue me in. It could be that I got home five minutes into the show though.
Anyway, I started watching again when Quentin was a living, breathing (if immortal) character. For me now, as a creepy scary and evil ghost he isn't as sexy. His voice is a BIG part of his appeal too.
I hope you get some answers though, this could be interesting.

Fall in love the first time I saw Quentin step out of the shadows? Absolutely, I was 12 and he drop kicked me into puberty. I remember sitting up straight and thinking *who* is *that*. A few other minor teeny-bopper crushes developed, but my devotion was primarily pure. Every full page 16, Tiger Beat, Spec, etc., every one went on the wall. It was surrondaSelby in there.

Dear Jennifer,
In regards to your listing of Billy Conigliaro as one of your teenaged favorites, please, don't forget third base man Rico Petrocelli, reliever Sam Mayday" Malone and, arguably, the greatest "Sox" left fielder of all time, the man simply known as "Yaz."
You know, it's a shame that we never got to see anyone in Collinsport (Joe Haskell, Bob Rooney, Madame Findley, etc.) sporting a Red Sox baseball cap on as they sauntered through town.
Bob the Bartender, who will always be grateful that one of the truly free spirits of baseball played for both the Red Sox and the Mets (albeit for one season), the one and only Jimmy Piersall! (Jimmy once said of former big league pitcher and manager Dallas Green: "He looks like John Wayne, but he throws like Donna Reed!")

Did any of the girls fall in love with Quentin the first time out? You better believe it.
I had a little crush on him, but my heart belongs to Barnabas, poor, poor Barnabas.
And then the 16, Tiger Beat and all the rest of the pre-teen magazine, had a Barnabas AND a Quentin picture. I thought Quentin was the coolest name I'd ever heard.I had my Mother buy me the 45 with "Quentin's Theme" on it, which I still have.
Now I live about 15 minutes away from Morgantown, where he was born and raised. He's been at my daughter college a lot of times, and I never miss a talk from him. I've seen him at the mall with his Father, and once I seen him getting some gas. He's just a good ole country boy.
Did the girls fall in love with Quentin? They're still in love with him.

I can't answer from the first run. I was too young. I saw a few eps but none with Quentin.
However, when I first saw this storyline a couple of years ago. I couldn't stand him. He was soooo evil and creepy. I would tell a friend who had watched as a child what was going on and she seemed to love Quentin, I couldn't figure it out.
But the minute we saw him in 1897 and the minute he spoke I changed my tune and he became my favorite!

Still wasn't born in 1975.

I watched the original run and I was frightened of Quentin but drawn to him too. It took a while for me to sort my feelings out and I did have a crush on the character. :-*
I didn't like Gerard at all. I wondered why he had to be there when Quentin was so much more interesting. >:( :D ;D

You bet I did. My bedroom was plastered with posters of David Selby. Hey, I had room for some others too. Never went for Davey Jones, like Mickey Dolenz, now I wonder why.
My other tastes were different I loved the old movies and adored Clark Gable. Also have to admit loved Robert Preston after seeing the Music Man. Still find those man appealing. I also like Jack Kelly from Maverick. How can I forget David Mccallum.
Harrison Ford also makes my heart beat faster. David Selby has been a stand by.
Hey, I still think those guys are/were something special.

The 70's were cool, wish I had been older! Those were the good ol' days, and the early 80's, just wish I had been a good girl. I was every parents nightmare.

I also like Jack Kelly from Maverick.
Me too!! I had a major crush on Jack Kelly when I was 12 years old. I watched Maverick reruns every day after school. I loved his kissing scenes. No vcr's in those days, but I tape recorded it, and wrote down what happened. I don't have the tapes or notes anymore. Long gone! I do have the Maverick Collector's Series on video though. There are a lot of episodes that are not on video, some really good ones too, like "The Witch Of Hound Dog" episode, with Jack Kelly. There were some funny ones. Remember the one about the leprechaun? Jack Kelly passed away in the 80's, too bad. When I was in my late teens, he worked for a newspaper in Toluca Lake, CA. I lived in Los Angeles at the time. He wrote a column for the paper. I thought of going over there to meet him. I should have. Nice to see another Jack Kelly fan! I also have "To Hell And Back", a WW II biography on Audie Murphy's life. Jack Kelly plays a good part in it. Check it out!

i had a crush on all those i stated but i have to admit
Timothy Dalton stole my heart when he was Heathcliff
when i was a young girl and it is a crush that has lasted
30+ years. now would have loved to see him on the Shadows!
and Bob i would hate to see Billy C now so many of those ballplayers peak early than fade(except Jim Palmer of course he could still do those ads and steal hearts)

Cheryl,
I have seen the movie "To Hell and Back", also have you seen a movie on AMC or TCM with him I think it has something to do with Saint Anne, or something. It is about an Irish family, a comedy. He was young.
Strange as this might sound one of the things my husband and I talked about when we first started dating was Maverick. We were sitting in this dive bar after work and I impressed him by remembering the words to the theme song. lol Sorry to say my husband was never a DS fan.

I was 10 1/2 when Quentin first came on the show and fell in love immediately. Barnabas was my first love, but Quentin was just so sexy. I've been watching Falcon Crest on soapnet and my husband said to me that I'm just watching it to see Quentin. I told him - Hell Yeah!
-
He is refered in this house as "The Beautiful Man". Have to admitt I have watched just about anything to catch a glimse of him. God Bless my hubby he just puts up with me. Than again how many times have I watchd Come September so he can drool over Gina Lolabrigetor, bad spelling, hey it is early.

Well, don't know if I qualify, as I was 10 years old in 1969...but have to say that I wasn't attracted to Quentin...he scared the s*** out of me, lol. He certainly was riveting, though! After seeing him in 1897, I must have softened a little...I remember playing my own arrangement of "Quentin's Theme" at one of my piano recitals ;-)
