Wishing you well, and hope you will return to us soon.

HAA is the only person that could have played Nicholas Blair.  The chemestry was great with a lot of the actors it seamed so real. GH, MW, LP did put out fireworks when working with HAA.  That is the only thing that I liked about 1968 story line was not the story, but the fireworks with all the actors. Besides the flubbed lines, you can see that the actors really got along.

Yes, when you watch Humbert in a scene, notice how "connected" he is with the other actors. By this I mean, he doesn't stay in his own space, isolated like some actors do, he has great eye contact, and usually he will touch the other actor in some way, like putting a hand on their shoulder, or with the ladies, taking their hand in his, that type of thing.   I think this technique makes him a more exciting actor to watch, and gives him that, shall I say, sensuality.  Also of course he has an amazing powerful voice (as does Jonathan Frid).

I have to agree that eve period is horrible. Marie Wallace is such a good actress but i dont like her as eve. The whole adameve period was so boreing. the only thing i like was that my fav character of all time was on Nicholas Blair. [spoiler]I was very sad lolll when nicholas died.[/spoiler] I have said this before Dan Curtis did not use Humbert Allen Astredo talent enough on dark shadows. I like adam in the begining to when he is just learning to talk and all. but as much as i love nicholas he did ruin adam!!

I agree with you Evan, the Adam/Eve storyline was a little dull, but it did give us the opportunity to enjoy Nicholas Blair more frequently!   Yes, Humbert Allen Astredo is awesome.  He's my fav!
