Thank you so much, Dark Lady. A story that engages the characters engages the audience. Perhaps if the head Leviathan had been a shape shifting Count Petofi, the threat to Carolyn might have seemed more real to the audience.
From here on out, the show gets even crazier, shifting from one era to another. Daytime serials, at least in that era, were not meant to be seen on a daily basis. Other shows did a lot of recapping and used flashbacks a lot more. If you missed an episode, let alone a week of Dark Shadows, you may well have never seen the story you were watching be resolved.
