Joe Haskell and Chris Jennings!!?  ~DJ

I'm having problems with my avatars. Can anyone see it? I can't. ~DJ

Another, albiet minor red herring:  Willie plants some of Josette's earrings in Maggie's purse.  When she finds them and puts them on, she seems to become possessed.  She does this for a few episodes, then nothing ever comes of it.

I always wondered about this until my husband and I discussed this at lengths. What you were seeing there was schizophrenia. The definition I found online is: {A mental disorder that causes a separation between the thought processes and the emotions. Consumers may experience confusion of reality with hallucinations and/or delusions and may become paranoid. A change in personality with bizarre behavior may occur.} While being held captive by Barnabas, Maggie was told constantly that she was Josette. Not only was she told this by Barnabas but Willie, as well. At one point, she even started to believe it. Soon, it got to the point where she either believed she was Josette or she'd die. No one wants to die. Maggie obviously clung to life in those days by a thread and would have been irrevocably traumatized if Julia hadn't numbed those memories for a while. Then when Maggie found the earrings in her purse and put them on, back came the Josette persona that was instilled in her during her stay at the old house.

   I don't think this story between Maggie and Willie during the Adam storyline was just something for them to do. It made perfect sense. I guess they figured it would give the fans who wanted to see Maggie regain her memory a sense of satisfaction that she finally did. Unfortunately, she couldn't keep it, lest they'd have to get rid of either Maggie or Barnabas and perhaps even Willie. And I don't think they were willing to do that. I wouldn't. I think they're all great.

   Here are the things I hate about DS:

    1.) Jeff Clark
    2.) Willie and Maggie never got together
    3.) Lack of character development for the so-called smaller characters. 
    4.) Barnabas professed his love to Angelique... why?
    5.) THEY KILLED RACHEL!
    6.) They killed Carl...
          and last but not least:
    7.) I wasn't on it.

PS  In need of a makeover -- Jeff Clark.  A gag in his mouth, a bag over his head, and his hands tied behind his back.

ROTF!!! Connie, YOU are my new bestfriend. lol. ~DJ

Willie: ((to Barnabas)) Yeah, you would have trouble sleeping, wouldn't you?

That was a REALLY good one. I'm sorry that I don't know the exact quote, but this was during the Adam experiment when Barn wanted to use Maggie for Eve. Thought that line packed quite a  punch. ~DJ

Nah, b/c the gal who really loved him (mom)  was working at a candy shop in Beverly Hills at the time. lol. She  really wanted to visit NY to see John Karlen and all the others during the run of Dark Shadows, but she was so tied up with work. She'd have been awesome on DS had she chosen to be an actress, though.

You know, the other one I really felt sorry for, as the second poster said, was Sarah. What an emotional scene it was when she died in Barnabas' arms. I really sobbed when she died. That poor little girl. ~DJ

Hey, Jackie! That was a cool interview. Then again, anything with John Karlen has to be cool... Except maybe some of the b-movies he's been in. *gag* But he's still loveable. ~DJ

    Ahh! Didn't notice the microwave smiley. You know, that reminds me of some cartoons they have over at joecartoon.com  . A few of them feature an animated gerbil getting blown up in a microwave. They're interactive, too! So sick, but SO fun.  www.joecartoon.com   ~DJ
