When I did my Charles Delaware Trollish version of post cancelation DS for the now defunct AOL DS message board, I did a story-line where Barnabas does go back to PT. The reason why is rescue Angelique - not the dead PT Angie, but his Angie. (In a previous plot in my CDTish version I went into Angelique's complete conversion; not to make a long and complicated explanation just go where the new PT story picks up and Angelique is stuck there). What does Barnabas find? Collinwood is long gone, the burnt remnants having been razed and all that's there is now a field (the basement, sealed off and forgotten, is beneath it, never having been filled in). Quentin and Maggie Collins are living in the Loomis House with son/step-son Daniel. Barnabas finds out that they are terrified because they believe they've seen Angelique hiding about the property, but when Barnabas manages to find her, frightened and confused, he explains she's the one from his time and they slowly come to accept her. Barnabas with Angelique wants to return to NT but he finds out that things are going bad for Quentin and Maggie. They almost hate each other, Maggie claiming that Quentin is gaslighting her; Quentin saying Maggie is the one responsible. Barnabas wants to solve what's going on. And then there's Roxanne, living in Collinsport in despair over losing Barnabas but now joyous that he is back but with the problem that he and Angelique are a couple. At things progress, Barnabas solves the mystery of what's happening between Quentin and Maggie - the one doing the gaslighting to both of them to destroy their marriage is Daniel, who was so traumatized but what had happened before that he blamed them, including for losing his mother again. Things get resolved: Daniel is sent to PT's Wyndcliffe, Quentin and Maggie decide to rebuild their marriage, and Roxanne has no choice but to accept that Barnabas and Angelique and bade them farewell as they return to NT. However, after they pass through the portal before it closes again, she admits she still loves Barnabas and will somehow see him again... There were lots more details and characters in the plot line, but that's the nutshell version of it.
