Trask interests me.  He does believe in what he's doing, right down to the bitter end.  It doesn't make him likeable, but it makes him interesting.

There's also a level of naivete in the character--that reference to not really knowing about physical love, or the fact that it was Abigail who had to prod him into attempting to bribe/threaten Peter and Nathan, and even then it took him a minute or two to get it.

And as far as the belief in the occult/Satan/evil, etc., well, it's not a stretch to see him (and Abigail) as being uncomfortable in the era in which they lived (they would have both gone through huge changes in political climates, wars, cusp of a new century and all).  Some people fight that type of thing every step of the way, blaming what they do not understand on an amorphous evil.

This thing about not knowing anything about physical
love does he ever mention a Mrs. Trask in 1795 or did the writers just create a son later in 1840 to fit the storyline?

i think also he just wanted to be right and needed to find a witch and she was the best target. he didn't care if she was the right one  only that he could convict her to keep his reputation as a witch hunter strong!

I know she is a tad looney ?!? but i wanted Millicent today to kick Nathan for making her go to the tower room! (for place just see MB's Hmm posting) I mean someone should have told that girl you are the one with the money! Also Barnabas must have some bite because it seemed to take a lot of the curl out of her hair

I was wondering the same thing myself MB that was pretty risque for 1967!!   !pretty funny considering
we had a whole thread about those very trousers!!
wonder if that is what got him that part on that soap soon after!!HeeHee

all kidding aside he was a pretty good actor much better as Nathan!

Hehehe...this gave me a good chuckle to start the day.  I know it isn't the most popular position to take, but I do agree.  I thoroughly enjoyed the way the character started out, but they went *way* overboard in the angst department, IMO, especially from this point on.  Too much of the "poor me" stuff makes him much less appealing, and much less sympathetic as time goes on, again IMO.

He says that his thrist for blood is  stronger
than all his other wants I think even stronger than the need to shield his mother from the truth!But what did Joshua think he was before he found out he was a vampire?

maybe i'll fly to La for a crash course (I wish) midnite

i never saw the word c ode

That black and white shot of KLS that Maggie Evans kept framed in her room belongs in a class all its own.  Man, that thing creeped me out.

Miles Timothy D is my favorite actor!! Loved him as Heathcliff!!! Best 007!

Most of the spells were cast fireside at the Old House, Big House, or caretaker's cottage. All the fireplaces aided in a fair share of mischief. However, which one do you feel proved to be the most popular (memorable event) and why?

it would  be in Collinwood and one of Angelique's i'm trying to remember which one of hers was the best. there were so many!They always played her music too !
I never liked Laura!
