Title: Barnabas Collins Mentioned on NBCs Passions
Post by: David on January 16, 2004, 08:01:20 AM
NBCs Passions, the soap that spoofs DS, Bewitched, classic horror movies and retro pop culture, FINALLY did what I`ve been hoping for.

After making direct references to Titanic, Wizard of Oz, Psycho, Bewitched, etc, there was a direct reference to DS.

Today, Jan 15, 2004, Tabitha(Juliet Mills) the show`s 300 year old witch, told her protege Kay about her love affair with Al Capone. After a B&W flashback to gangland Chicago in the 20s, Tabitha quipped: I`ve had many beaus over the years. One gentleman, Barnabas Collins, couldn`t get enough of me!

Passions did use DS music in 2001 and 2002, but this was the first spoken reference to the show.

That would have been such a beautiful cue if they'd gotten Lara Parker for a quickie guest shot...

Angelique suddenly materializing, snarling,
"Now, WHAT was that you were just saying about MY main man, Tabitha?" [kaiokn]

CHICK (witch) FIGHT!  [argue]

Or is that Chickwich fight?  I have fast food on the brain, sorry...  ::)
