Calendar Events / Announcements '07 I / Re: Jonathan Frid and Crypts
« on: April 28, 2007, 06:42:38 AM »I don't think it will be much of a problem. It doesn't sound like he'll do much schmoozing with the fans other than signing and everyone will be eating dinner anyway. I'd like to think that we're mostly a calm, collected, level headed group that know not to tackle a man in his 80s.
I've never met Jonathan Frid, but I do know people who have and they pretty much all say that even though he looks like a cute cuddly teddy bear. If someone makes the mistake of stepping on his last nerve. They'll find out just how quickly that cute cuddly teddy bear can turn into a 6 foot grizzly bear.

Current Talk '07 I / Re: With all the talk about Barnabas heart??
« on: March 14, 2007, 10:40:02 PM »
In the case of Barnabas the organs had to be preserved somehow... Because if not when... [spoiler]Barnabas was cured of being a vampire.[/spoiler]
If his organs had been destroyed by decay. He more than likely would have dropped dead.
I can see the [spoiler]cells that was found in his blood, that was causing the curse, to be changed or eliminated by the experiment to return him to a human.[/spoiler]
But I'm not so certain the experiment would have rejuvinated flesh or organs that had been destroyed by decay.
Unless Angelique's curse, just mimiced Vampirism , which gave him the symptoms and appearence of being a vampire. But his organs such as the heart, liver, etc were put in a preserved non functioning sleep like state as long as he was under the curse.

Current Talk '07 I / Re: Cancellation
« on: March 12, 2007, 11:36:53 PM »It's very true that Frid wanted to play another character. And, frankly, I always thought that was only fair as all of the other major cast members had been able to play several different roles. But it's a misconception that Frid didn't want to play Barnabas - what he didn't want to do was play Barnabas as a vampire anymore. There are actually a few different topics on the forum that clarify that.
Thanks for the clarification...
But... [spoiler]Barnabas was cured of being a vampire until the Leviathan storyline. Then here comes Jeb Hawkes and he puts the vampire curse right back on Barnabas again.[/spoiler] It seems Dan Curtis liked the Barnabas as a vampire storyline.
Based on that... I just don't believe that Dan Curtis ever would have agreed to Jonathan Frid's terms of not playing Barnabas as a vampire anymore?
So basically I still see Jonathan Frid leaving the show after 1841 parallel time had the show continued.

Well from what I understand. Jonathan Frid was not going to play Barnabas anymore. That was the reason for the 1841 parallel time Bramwell and Catherine storyline so Jonathan Frid could play a different character. That is the only way he would remain on the show.
That being the case it is difficult to wrap up lose ends if one of the major actors didn't want to continue with the show and I think Dan Curtis and the writer's knew that the fans would not except a recast of Barnabas Collins. (I mean alot of fans still have problems with any other actor playing the part of Barnabas Collins in this day and time when it comes to remaking the show.) And wrapping up the Barnabas storyline without Jonathan Frid on screen. I don't think the fans would have been satisfied with that either.
Now then...
Was that one of the factor's in the decision to cancel? I can't say for 100% sure, but it probably was one of the decisions that had to be taken into account.
Also when HODS came out. Didn't the violence of the movie start confusing parents who began to take issue with what was going on with the TV show and because of the confusion their was a backlash against the show that caused alot of stations to start dropping DS from their schedule?
If stations were refusing to continue to carry the show. That had to bring the ratings down quite abit.

I think that they still function. Just at a slower pace than a human's does.

J is for joiedevivre. Pleasure in being alive. This applies to Barnabas most definately.

I is for ignoble. Low in character; dishonorable. Jason McGuire fits the bill, or more likely he steals the bill here.

C is for cold. Which is what David Collins was during his Barnabas ordeal at the Collins mausoleum.

J is for jagged. As in the jagged rocks beneath Widows Hill that all the people who jumped encountered at the bottom of their fall.
