I am currently watching the 1897 storyline, and as I am nuts about Quentin and haven’t seen these episodes in over ten years, I wanted to post my thoughts.

Quentin says to Barnabas that “The ladies are strangely attracted to you. Why?”

Watching 1897 storyline, I am wondering myself. Who is the better lover in these episodes? Barnabas, once he bites his victims, is the aristocratic, pointy-haired, rich cousin. He’s suave and debonair, and I wouldn’t throw him out of bed for eating crackers.
But Quentin appeals to me more, not because I am so much like him, but because he is so ding-dang good-looking, wicked and fun.
Where Barnabas is charming, Quentin is a charmer,

So who has the most women enchanted? It’s almost like a contest. No wonder the teen magazines featured them both during this storyline.

Please post your thoughts. My very first DS Fest, my sister and I came upon Selby’s autograph table. We giggled. “Oh, my god! Quentin!!!!”
Mr. Selby replied with as much enthusiasm in his wicked way and made us laugh,

Wondering if Luciaphil has ever done any Idle Thoughts on the episodes where Willie has released Barnabas. I am currently enjoying her hilarious annotations about Dr. Lang’s medical skills posted in 2002.

I'm sorry to have to say that this has to be the worst of the radio dramas. 15 tracks of drama and they seem to be all the same. I listened to it twice to see if I had missed anything. It's like every track repeats the one before.

Willie is in or out of Windcliffe, I cannot tell which, and has rememberances of kidnapping Maggie. Angelique is there, I know not why, other than to continually request that Willie tell her why Miss Hoffman was trying to cure Barnabas.

There is no finality in this story. I love listening to John speak in his native Brooklyn tongue, the cover art is exceptional, but the story itself stinks. I know several writers on this board that could have done so much better.

[Moved from the Robservation topic that has Barnabas asking Vicki to be his wife after she learned that Jeff, the husband she lost, cannot come back to her. --admin]

If Barnabas and Vicky were married, would he confide in her all of his secrets, his past lives?

Traveling back and forth into the past and future to save his incestors, would Vicky travel with him?

Would he leave her for the next incarnation of Josette?

How long before Angelique shows up to wreak havoc with the married couple?

And what of Miss Hoffman? Would she stay on as his confidant, close pal and life long friend?

I was thinking about Quentin enjoying the dubious pleasures of the village, I wondered who his parents were. I couldn't find anything about this, but I know I've seen it here before. I think I have, anyway.

I gotta tell you, I love this episode. Here is yet another resident of Collinsport, in this case Tony Peterson, peering through Barnabas' window. One would think that Barnabas would have learned his lesson and had the foresight to draw the shade once in a while, what with all the nosey relatives he has. I love also that Tony had the moxie to confront Carolyn about her being in her cousin's arms. What a scene!
