SPOILER if you haven't seen 1840...

I for sure think Gabriel Collins could use some psychoanalysis. He was a wicked murderer of his own family members, and lied that he couldn't walk, for several years.

MEEP!!!! I was soooo glad when they killed him off!! They did kill him off, didn't they? I hope so. That was so long ago ...... but HE. WAS. SOOOO. ANNOYING!!! *rips her Gabriel voodoo doll to tatters*

I can see a grown-up David Collins needing some sort of therapy....."it all started in my childhood ... my father never loved me much, and mother never kept in touch ... that's why I shy away from human affection .... " [lol, Savage Garden song .... sorry] I would love to read something about the inner-mind of Carolyn. Actually, I may just have to write it if I don't find anything. Oooooo won't you all be in trouble then?

As for the other commonly-used themes, Quentin's became a hit on the radio, so I heard it ad nauseum, and was truly tired of it after a while.

I think that is sooo funnie! They actually played it on the radio? Like "From Dark Shadows, it's Quentin's Theme...*cue music*" type thing? That's sooooooooooooooooooo kewl! Gawd, DS ROX!!! ^___^

As for Alexandra Moltke, it was basically like 'and introducing...'. They did the same with Kate Jackson in "Night of Dark Shadows".

LOL, and if you look at movie or tape covers now, it'll have "Charlie's Angels star, Kate Jackson as Daphne Harridge" or something like that. Grrrrr ... I hate it when they do that, lol. I think it's kewl that we can still see the original posters, with "STARRING: David Selby, Grayson Hall and Lara Parker. Also featuring Nancy Barrett and John Karlen." LOL And KJ isn't even mentioned. Amazing. But it's kewl that way, some sort of preserved bias. .. . . .. . . or something  :-/

Then again, it's publicity.

Well, from what I've seen, Lara blinks about 50 times per line.  Nancy Barrett often licks her lips before speaking.  Julia constantly tugs at her collar, but I haven't really noticed this with Grayson Hall's other characters.

Yes!! Lara Parker blinks like 9 miiiiillion times. Unless she's hypnotizing someone. OMG! And then she doesn't blink AT ALL! AHHHH! It freaks me out, I can't watch it. I literally turn my head away until I hear someone else's voice. It's sooo freaky. And then when she wants something, she'll go all flirtly on Nicholas and blink like forever in one line. AHH! It's crazy! She has skitzy eyes, lol.

NB licks her upper lip whenever someone else is talking, and she's thinking

Liz, Julia, Carolyn, Vicki, Maggie .... OMG *everyone* holds their hands in front of them and plays with their fingers. Ugh. UGH!!! It's sooo annoying. I mean, I know people do it in real life, but it's sooo annoying to watch. I would think Carolyn would stand more with her hands on her hips in that kinda spoiled princess "I always get what I want" type of way. Or maybe she used to ..... I didn't notice it until ..... 1795, when Millicent had that lil handerchief thing. LOL And then we came back and Carolyn is doing it too. Bah! What else what else?
Barnabus and most of the men keep their hands at their sides, and then just twitch with their fingers. LOL It's funny. I love hands, so that's what I always watch. Barnabus has REALLY twitchy fingers, while Jeff's fingers doesn't twitch so much because he moves his arms more [to his hair .... can we get an emoticon of that??? Pleeeease? lol] Roger is kind of in the middle and David keeps his very straight ..... or so I remember.

Hehehe! I love this topic ^_^

I would imagine Vicki would prefer Barnabas, Willie or even Carolyn to him!

Now, do you want me to tell you what I REALLY think?

Bwahaha! With Carolyn's luck in men, maybe she would take Vicki up on the proposition .... *giggle*

I don't mind Jeff THAT much, mostly because I find Barnabus incredibly boring too, but see, Barnabus is in charge of the experiment, so it's Barnabus's fault that Jeff is there in the first place, so I can stand Jeff because I'm so busy hating Barnabus, I don't notice him. LOL Makes sense to me! But him with Vicki is a totally different story. I'm glad she dumped him *evil laugh*

It's too bad that didn't get to achieve more star attraction like some of the other DS cast members did after they moved on when the show was cancelled.  

LOL Like Kate Jackson? *BEAMS PROUDLY* I just watched Charlie's Angels last night, actually. Aaand still got up for DS! Wahoo! I'm so sad that Nancy Barrett never did anything else, though. Or at least nothing that I've ever seen. I know she was in some other soap, and she was in a weird movie or some sort, but ...  :-/ that's it *le sigh*

I have some ideas and sketches for a couple of follow-up's but the other computer had the magic programs on it, that box went belly up, so I haven't had the chance to continue the 'series', and I've had a very strange work schedule the last few months, but I have the next 2 weeks completely off, we have a new box upstairs....so be expecting a couple of new attractions......coming soon!

What program did you use to make those? That's sooooooooo kewl

and have to add that man still looks good!

Yes, he does!! They all do! I hope I look that good when I grow older ........ Heaven knows I'll never grow up ^_~

When, exactly, does Quentin show up? I thought we had some weird re-visitation to 1795 and then some weird Leviathans or something. LOL But the closer the better ^____^ *GRIN*
