One of the saddest scenes for me was when they took Joe Haskell away to Wyndcliff. Can you think of any other sad scenes?
-
when elizabeth learned that burke's plane had crashed and needed to break the news to vicki.the scene plays with liz,vicki and mrs.johnson(three widows?)and i found it to be quite moving.
-
For me the saddest scene is where Sarah dies in Barnabas' arms. That was a very emotional scene.

At the end of PT 1970, Barn is upset because he has lost his precious Roxanne, and Julia tells him how one learns to live without love if one has to. The look in her eyes when she says this. . . [bawling2]

For me one very sad scene was when Barnabas goes once again to the past, after finding his beloved again he hurries though the woods were Barnabas becomes lost and is then taken by a certain underworld gang and used in an attempt to bring them back to power... Barnabas was never able to meet with his beloved. Although Barnabas did save her from the cliffs he did not save her life.... his beloved none the less dies by her own hand.
:'( now that is sad :'(

I was thinking of mentioning that one.

In PT1970, a heavily drinking Carolyn Loomis mourns the loss of her husband, William Loomis, murdered by Angelique, as Barnabas tries to console her. Despite their turbulent marriage, Carolyn and Will obviously had an underlying need for each other, since no one else apparently wanted them. And now she was alone.

I can never get over the look on Barnabas' face when he learns that Josette had married Jeremiah, who was like a brother to him. I actually FF thru that scene until he slaps Jeremiah with the glove, demanding a duel. Strange, I can stand the upcoming violence, but not a scene of such hearbreak. But then, this always happens to me when watching a film or TV show and I know that such a scene is about to happen. :'(
for example, I'm a huge fan of the original version of "The Forsyte Saga" , I have it on DVD, [spoiler]but I just get heartsick at Jo Foryste's death scene, as he was my favorite character, and he dies literally of a broken heart because Soames' past sins against Irene threaten the future of Jo and Irene's son Jon, who has fallen for Soames' daughter Fleur.....[/spoiler]
-
Another one of mine: during the Leviathan story, when Angelique runs to the Old House to tell Barnabas that she found out that her husband, Sky, was a cult member who tried to off her, she falls weeping into Barnabas' arms as he attempts to console her.

There's a scene when Vicki is at the Old House, waiting out a rain storm, I think, and she and Willie are talking about the upcoming costume party. Vicki compliments Willie on his restoration work.. She comments that "I never see you smile anymore" and he replies that he doesn't have much to smile about. She says he "deserves to have some fun" and he responds that people don't always get what they deserve and some get things they don't deserve at all.....referring to what he knows about Barnabas' plans for Vicki.
Willie frequently resorts to hysterics when trying to protect Maggie. But this calm, quiet scene involving a despairing Willie and an unsuspecting Vicki is so much sadder.

Saddest for me was when Barnabas "died" with Josette holding his hand promising to wait for him to return to her. I've viewed that scene over and over and it gets sadder everytime I see it. The full implications of Barnabas' death and what it meant for Josette and his entire family are tragic. (and boy was I glad Angelique wasn't there butting in. It was nice to see Josette and Barnabas have a decent scene together!)
I was also touched by David Ford's performance as Sam Evans watching his daughter Maggie fall apart after being bitten by a vampire. I really sensed his inner vunerability and why he could be an alchoholic.

i agree rainey that this scene was quite touching.especially since at the time vicki had considerable reason to dislike willie.i also think that vicki was at her absolute best during this part of the show.these episodes were remarkable and you can tell that alexandra was still being challenged by her work at this point.she's breaking away from what had been a rather one-note,goody-two-shoes character before this and bringing some complexity to victoria.

So many good ones have been mentioned already... here's some of mine:
- The scene at Collinwood when Barnabas tells Victoria and Carolyn of Josette's fall from Widow's Hill.
- Barnabas speaking to Josette's portrait after the costume party "I had to send you away....leave and never come back. All of you." (the ghosts of his family)
- Barnabas and Victoria's conversation about Josette and the man that chased her in the episode when she was spending the night there due to the storm. "I can't defend everything he did, nor could he."
- Naomi and Joshua's conversation when he learns of Sarah's death.
- Naomi at the mausoleum when she says (about Barnabas and Sarah), "their whole lives were stone."
-
The saddest scene for me was when Barnasbas had finally "met" Sarah's ghost. He had begs her to stay with him. She told him no, but he had to be "good" or she wouldn't come to him anymore (I'm not going to drag out my DVD so I can get the right words that were spoken...it's to earlier in the morning). And then she dissapeared. Barnabas' face looked so sad. [sad11] [bawl]

I was listening to Annie Lennox's Bare CD yesterday, and one of the songs definitely made me think of your post because the lyrics seem to reflect feelings that Julia surely felt at least at some point in her relationship with Barn:
Loneliness (http://annie-lennox.lyrics-songs.com/lyrics/70174/)
Loneliness...
Is a place that I know well
It's the distance between us
And the space inside ourselves
Emptiness....
Is the chattering in your head
It's the call of the living
And the race from life to death
Woa and I know
Yea and I know
What you feel...
Woa and I've got a longin'
That's hard to find
Won't give me no peace of mind
Something that I've lived with all along
Days and weeks and months and years
Fillin' in the time my dear
And tryin' to find the place where I belong
Hopelessness
Is the darkness in your heart
It's the sound of one hand clapping...
While it's pulling you apart
Woa and I know
Yea and I know
What you feel
I know what you feel
And
I've got a longin'
That's hard to find
Won't give me no peace of mind
Something that I've lived with all along
Days and weeks and months and years
Fillin' in the time my dear
And tryin' to find the place where I belong
Ooo, and
I got a hunger that's
Hard to fill
Drivin' me on overkill
Tellin' me that everything's gone wrong
Got me a need
That I can't break
More than I can hardly take
Somehow I still keep on goin' strong
When I call your name
I'm gonna scream out loud
I'll say...
"Here I am standing in the crowd"
You'll say "Come to me
With your open mind
You never know
What you still might find"
But you keep me here
Like a cancelled flight
An empty train
Running through the night
An orphan child
A broken shoe
and I'm still down here
Lookin' out for you
Are you there for me?
(Baby are you there for me? I'm standing here for you)
'Cause I'm here for you
(Baby are you there for me? I'm standing here for you)
Are you there for me?
I'm here for you
There for me?
I'm here for you
There for me?
I'm here for you
I'm here for you
I'm here for you
Anyone interested can listen to the song here (http://radio.terra.com.br/busca/musicas.php?musica=Loneliness). Just click on the third selection down.

Many thanks, MB. What a great song. And it does seem to fit Julia at the end of PT 1970, as she looks longingly at an oblivious Barnabas.

One of the saddest scenes for me was when they took Joe Haskell away to Wyndcliff. Can you think of any other sad scenes?
That was a happy scene for me. :P j/k
The saddest scenes for me are any with Roger Davis in them. >:D Especially that Jeff Clark.
Seriously, though, I've never cried with any scene in DS as much as when Sarah died. A 9 year old dying? She didn't even get the chance to live! :( And then she became a lost soul. It really just broke my heart. Especially hearing her say she didn't know where everyone was. ~DJ
-
One other sad scene I remember was when little Sarah at last came to her big brother... Barnabas was attacking Julia thinking she had betrayed him, >:D Sarah enters the front doors of the Old House and is angry, she tells her big brother she will not come back until he has learned to be good.
Barnabas shed a tear after his beloved sister faded away. :'(

I just saw that scene today and I was in tears, too! I really felt sorry for Sarah. ~DJ
