Favorite female has to be Vicki! :D

My fave is Harry Johnson (Craig Slocum) in the 1968 Adam storyline. I also like him as Noah Gifford in the 1795 Flashback. I have a website for him at: http://rusty_slocum.tripod.com/slocum.htm, with my tribute to him, lots of pics, an online memorial I created for him, poems I wrote, and a link to his credits, & IMDB page. I participate in the annual Nevada Chapter Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation www.jdrf.org, Walk To Cure Diabetes, I support the cause in his memory and help in finding a cure for diabetes. ;)

I gotta say Barnabas...he's so elegant, cultures, and he's so sexy. Laugh if you want or agree if you want, but Jonathan Frid is very, very sexy.
-
LOL! [peepwall] I almost died laughing at that! :o
-
Despite circumstantial evidence to the contrary (my avatar), I would have to say Dr. Julia Hoffman.
-
Favorite Male Characters are Barnabas Collins, Willy Loomis, David Collins and Quentin Collins.
Favorite Female Characters are Maggie Evans, Angelique Collins, Victoria Winters, Dr. Julia Hoffman
Favorite Short time Characters are Matthew Morgan and Keeeng Johnny Romana.
Favorite stand in Character: Quentin's life size Doll.

My favorite male character is Barnabas
My favorite female character is Naomi Collins
(Joan Bennett isn't my fav actress always but I love the character)
-
Call me fickle, but I can never have just one favorite of anything. (don't ask my views about monogamy, lol)
Among my favorites are Julia (if I had to name just one favorite, it would be her), Liz (especially pre-1968 Liz), the freres Jennings (hubba hubba!), Magda, any character played by Thayer David (but especially Professor Stokes, Count Petofi, and PT 1970 Stokes), Hoffman the housekeeper (I love watching her torture Maggie, yes I am a certified sick puppy), and the original 1897 Quentin Collins (especially pre-curse).
Cassandra Collins deserves, nay, DEMANDS her own category. Those dresses! Those death-glares! Those WIGS!
There are lots of other favorite characters--1966 Carolyn, Pansity Trask, Madam Findlay, Bathia Mapes...
Oh and CLAUDE NORTH!

My number one favorite DS character always was, always is, and will always be Maggie Evans. Beautifully played by Kathryn Leigh Scott from 1966 to 1970, she had a certain love that made one just want to be her significant other.
-
OK Ricky...i thought this would be an easy answer...now i have writers block trying to narrow it down to my favorite DS star. and i keep coming up with Angelique. very close between her and Vicky. -robert
-
Early Liz Stoddard is my favorite character, with several other characters running a very close second.

-
My favorite DS characters:
Burke Devlin (portrayed by Mitchell Ryan), Gerard Stiles,
Victoria Winters (portrayed by Alexandra Moltke),
Matthew Morgan/Ben Stokes (portrayed by Thayer David), John Yaeger, Bramwell Collins, and Maggie Evans.
-
Vicki...
-
Yes, definitely my favorite as well. I'd just love to have her as my sweetheart. The one DS character I'd most like to meet in real life. :D
-
Definitely Julia! She's endlessly fascinating, hilarious, and scary. I love every scene with her and Barnabas. They really were such a great team.
-
Favorite character, female: MAGDA (because she "was" such a character, though the possessed CHARITY/PANSY runs a close 2nd).
Favorite character, male: PROFESSOR STOKES (he was so fearless, without ever losing his wry sense of humor).
-
I'd definitely have to say Julia. Second, naturally, Barnabas.
-
I've been wanting to take the time to reply to this one for some time...
My Favorite Characters
1.) Barnabas. Of all the classic film characters, vampyres are my favorites. David Skal in his books notes that Barnabas is the transitional figure from the Lugosi/Lee type vampyres to the modern, emotional Anne Rice type of characters. Barnabas was the most complex if sometimes contradictory character of the show, and when Jonathan Frid was truly "on", he was riveting. Without Barnabas, I don't think we'd be watching this show 35 years later. (Skal-Hollywood Gothic, V is for Vampyre, others.)
2.) David Collins. I have a great affection for David as he was living the life I wanted when I was his age. Great spooky house, endless rooms, plenty of mystery and best of all, real ghosts. I definitely projected myself into the show as David growing up.
He looked about my age even if he was a little older.
I also identified with his lonliness, as another only child.
3.) Prof. Stokes. As a professor of the occult, he was the adult i wanted to grow up to be. He had style, wit, and sophistication.
4.) Angelique. My favorite female character as she was so good as the adversary of Barnabas, and yet you sensed the love behind the hate. Like Barnabas, as complex and excitingly unpredictable character. ( I really like the episodes Violet Welles scrpited for Lara, they gave her such depth.)
5.) Quentin. Because he was the opposite of Barnabas, fun loving, extroverted and yet sensative as well. He had a sense of strength I liked too.
I want to say all of these character we very , very well cast. They fit the parts like a glove and brought so much personality to them.
I also love Vickie, Trask, Ben Stokes and Cyrus among others as well.
My last favorite is totally personal.
Julianka, the gyspy. Okay, she's totally hot. Sadly, only 4 epsiodes. And yes, my wife has my permision to buy that costume for Halloween or anytime.
