For those waiting for the return of Willie..................
I hope you're patient because he doesn't return until episode 956.  Today, Sci Fi is airing episodes 888 and 889.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I thought John Karlen fans would want to know they'll have to endure  this new storyline for quite some time before he returns to the show.

good points Cassandra but you know people in horror movies.
they go back into house and explore when they think
something weird is going on, always separate and never think to wait for police!defies logic!

Or better yet he could have just "disappeard" and met up with Ben faster!
I thought the same thing. If you're a vampire, take the easy way and fly! Caleb on PC is always doing that but now he's human again.

And why does he need Ben there just to watch that no one disturbs them? Hasn't anyone ever heard of locking the door?

As for 1897, the storyline was actually extended beyond the original plan for this particular flashback and the reason for it was high ratings.  This portion of DS is the highest rated part of the series.

I am no fan of the Levithan storyline at all.  I found not one interesting thing to it.  Say what you will about 1897 but it sure bet the Levithans.

I used to work in advertising and my supervisor would build a radio/tv/magazine ad campaign, running commercials with continuity in order to take advantage of studies that showed how advertising best worked. Invariably the big boss would come in and say "I'm bored with it, let's change it."

I think that is exactly the way DC did business. To heck with ratings, continuity and logic, to heck with anything but his own whims.
