I have to agree with Magnus Trask on my perception of Roger  in my original viewing which started after Cassandra disappeared from the scene.  Everyone in our neighborhood watched the show and then we would reinact or make up new stories using the characters and nobody wanted to be Roger.  I got stuck being him when I wasn' t David.  When our local PBS station began to show the Barnabas episodes, I could see there was more to Roger and now seeing the Beginning, I think, what a wonderful character he is. 

It always give me a laugh when they shut the drawing room doors to have a supposedly private conversation and then someone will run in to listen outside the door.  Julia was just doing it in a 1968 episode.

The only breaks the actors got were when they didn't appear on the show.  For example when Elizabeth was  presumed dead, she was really off on a vacation or doing another project. 

Mrs. johnson wasn't there in the beginning, only Matthew, and I somehow doubt for all he did, Elizabeth would have trusted him to pick out her wardrobe.  My bet is she mail ordered or had them brought to her house where she could pick them out herself and have them tailored.   

Josette appearing to Barnabas and their deciding that after all this time they should let each other go.  Even with KLS leaving the show, there was no need to end his obsession with her that was a major part of the way his character acted.  It had been set up from almost day one that Josette was the spirit who looked after the Colllins family and kept them from harm and to suddenly end that made no sense.  I suppose that Dan Curtis was peeved that KLS was leaving and wanted to wipe her out of the scene and then begin Barnabas's new obseession with Roxanne, but it would have made more sense if  Barnabas had met Roxanne and she had reminded him of Josette as most other women he pursued did.

Considering how some nights last for weeks and that when Vickie was in the past no present time elapsed, Carolyn shoud probably still be seventeen.

When LIz and Roger deny seeing any resemblance to Vickie in Betty's painting and Carolyn comes in and thinks it is Vickie.

There are so many, but bringing Roger Davis back as Ned was way up there.  I can still remember his showing up at Collinwood and thinking "Not again."
