NBCs Passions, the soap that spoofs DS, Bewitched, classic horror movies and retro pop culture, FINALLY did what I`ve been hoping for.
After making direct references to Titanic, Wizard of Oz, Psycho, Bewitched, etc, there was a direct reference to DS.
Today, Jan 15, 2004, Tabitha(Juliet Mills) the show`s 300 year old witch, told her protege Kay about her love affair with Al Capone. After a B&W flashback to gangland Chicago in the 20s, Tabitha quipped: I`ve had many beaus over the years. One gentleman, Barnabas Collins, couldn`t get enough of me!
Passions did use DS music in 2001 and 2002, but this was the first spoken reference to the show.
