Too bad DC never offered her any other roles on DS.

She was one of the prettiest women on DS and a good actress too.

The first few volumes of the DVD's are from the first volumes of the MPI DS videos, which cut out a lot of the Jason McGuire storyline.  I think volume 9 of the MPI video series is the beginning of full, uncut episodes.

I too, suffer from FDSMS.

When I originally saw DS:

When Nicholas is destroyed by fire- I thought Adam threw the doors open at Collinwood and rushed up the stairs and tripped and then proceeded to the hallway.

Josette's suicide episode- I thought she saw herself as a skeleton from Angeliques vision.

Return to 1796- I thought Ben strangled Natalie intentionally.

I know there's more, I'll have to think about them.

If John Karlen was to leave DS anyway, why bother to have Carl return at all?   They just could have let him disappear as they did other characters.  Bringing him back just to kill him off made no sensel.  

Not to mention that Barnabas changed history by killing Carl (he should have been smart enough to realize that).  The writers regressed the character of Barnabas here and it was a horrible mistake.

I know that Bert Convy was in the running for the role of Barnabas.  I wonder if DC chose him over Jonathan Frid.

Sam Hall once said in an interview that DC was mistaken in that he didn't choose Jonathan Frid and that he was right in charge of JF's hiring.

I am not sure which version is right.

Current Talk '03 I / Re: Has Barnabas ever heard of a lock?
« on: January 17, 2003, 05:33:52 PM »
Nowadays, locking up you own house like Fort Knox is a good thing.  I live in an apartment building and lock my door to go and get the mail, talk to a neighbor, or do the laundry in the basement.  I have my keys with me constantly.

The David that dies in his mothers arms was David Radcliffe.  I dont think Jeremiah and Laura had children, otherwise, Barnabas would have mentioned it.

When David refers to Jeremiah as his great great grandfather, it is at a time when Jeremiah and Josette were still considered direct ancestors of the Collins family.  I believe this episode is also the last one that Jeremiah is referred to as a direct ancestor.

The episode with the closing credits featuring Barnabas' portrait was actually filmed out of sequence.  This episode was filmed AFTER the episode David shows Willie Barnabas' portrait and was actually the last one James Hall filmed.

At the end of an episode, David is telling Wille (James Hall) about the portrait over the fireplace being his great great grandfather (Jeremiah Collins) and the one of his wife (Josette Collins) is above the fireplace at the Old House.  He then walks over toward the side of the door and says "....this is Barnabas Collins."  Willie admires the jewelry in the portrait.  Carolyn has David go upstairs and Willie, now alone thinks to himself that he wishes he had jewels like the ones Barnabas has.  he then leaves the house to get a drink.  The camera moves back to Barnabas' portrait and you hear a heartbeat coming from it getting louder and louder and the eyes open and start to glow.

Prior to this, a mirror was in the place of the portrait. It is suggested that the portrait of Barnabas was always there and not referred to.

In the 80's I bought a collection of synopsis' of the first year of DS.  I just realized something that I have never seen mentioned that was on them.  It is something minor really, but still worth mentioning anyway.

Apparently at the time the synopsis of the week and a half prior to the episode where Willie releases Barnabas from his coffin, the writers did not yet have a name for their future vampire.  Barnabas is referred to as "young Collins" or "the young man" when the summary refers to the part where Willie is looking at the portrait.

The lines read something like like:  "Willie is staring at the portrait of young Collins and notices the eyes glowing at him."  Another line states "Willie once again looks at the portrait of the young man and in addition to the glowing eyes, he hears a heartbeat from the portrait."

Current Talk '03 I / Joan Bennett's First TV Series
« on: January 10, 2003, 06:00:53 PM »
It was a sitcom called "Too Young to go Steady" and ran for about 4 months in 1959.  I was wondering if it could be in the public domain now and if it was, would it be possible to obtain tapes of it?  Does anyone know how to go about this?

Edith may have had some say in the naming as Judith sounds like the female name for Judah....Judah Zachary!

Calendar Events / Announcements '02 II / Joan Bennett on Old Radio/TV Series
« on: December 08, 2002, 12:21:06 AM »
Barnes and Noble has a lot of old radio shows for sale. A couple of them have Joan Bennett as a guest on shows like Abbott & Costello and The Jack Benny Program.   She also is on Duffy's Tavern, where she is wooed by Archie the manager, its available from mail order from Metacom (at least it was 10 years ago).

I would love to see an episode of her first television series, "Too Young to go Steady."

I think Rev. Gregory may have killed poor Mr. Simon Briar and laid the blame on Rachael and Tim.  He probably didn't notify the authorities because of being afraid he would be exposed. he must have gave some explanation to Minerva something like "the Lord not saying it is the time" or something like that to convince her not to do anything.
