What Happened To Joe Haskell?

[David]

 

Dear MB:

Joe never did porn, but he met an ex-porn star, in the town of Monticello.
How shocked the town would have been had they known what their police chief had done!

Not to mention (Joel's character's) wives Nicole and what's her name (I can't even remember the name of his other wife  :- )

Joe stayed at Wyndcliffe for treatment which actually went pretty well all things considered.  When it was time for him to leave, Dr. Hoffman probably paid him to leave Collinsport and promise to never return.  She reasoned with him that this was for his own benefit.  He knew he couldn't go back to Collinsport and that he and Maggie would never get back together again. I think he probably blamed himself for everything. He shipped out to sea as a sailor on a cargo tanker registered to Nigeria and sailed off into the sunset.

actually, and seriously, Angelique's death in 1840
might mean that Joe & Maggie never broke
up after all!

Must've been an HMO operation.

Spoilers for Return to Collinwood ....


In the Return to Collinwood  cd play ( in 2004)  we learn that Joe and Maggie had been married and he had died over a decade ago .
So while it's sad that Joe died at least we know he left Wyndcliffe and did get to marry Maggie . I always had this romantic idea of Maggie and Joe falling in love again while they were both at Wyndcliffe . I also like to think they had children togather , although Return to Collinwood doesn't say anything about that one way or the other , leaving things open so that possibly Joe and Maggie's children could be created to play a role in a possible DS Next Generation .

Count me in as a devoted Joe Haskell fan!! I always liked him and wish they would have given him more interesting things to do.

As for what happened? Well, he didn't really go mad, since IMHO that was not the best of choices the writers could have made, although he did suffer severe anxiety given the things he had endured. After receiving treatment at Windcliff, he returned to Collinsport where he and Maggie got back together, married and lived happily ever after. So there! 

Is this too optimistic an outlook for Dark Shadows? Maybe so, but I'm all for a bit of happiness for the characters.

OOOO--I LOVE that thought--Dark Shadows: The Next Generation--wouldn't that be a super show? Hope someone thinks of it and tries it out!--I know, I know--just wishful thinking. Still.....

I understand that Joe split for West Coast, where he eventually became a "group sensitivity counselor" at the Esalen Spa in Big Sur in California.

I liked Sam Hall's notion that Joe and Maggie met up again when Maggie was sent to Windcliff.  And that the two resumed their relationship and found happiness together.

If that scenario didn't pan out, the notion of him moving out West and perhaps shacking up with another fella is most attractive.

I wonder whether any of Joel Crothers' later soap opera work has survived.  It would be interesting to see the actor in his later work, one of these days.

I don't know about Joel's work on Secret Storm or Somerset, but his work on Edge of Night and Santa Barbara definitely still exists. There have been reports that SB will show up on SoapNet before too long, but I'll believe that when I finally see it because the road to getting SB shown again has been paved with nothing but problems.

Was Secret Storm the soap on which Marie Wallace appeared as India Delaney?  That would be a trip if she and Joel got some scenes together on that.  Everything I've ever read about Marie's work as India makes it sound like a dream role for her.

Marie was most definitely incredible as India, but that was on Somerset. And one of my fondest memories of the '89 Fest party at the Red Zone (or any Fest, for that matter) was being able to talk to her one on one for about a half an hour about her time on that show.

Unfortunately Marie and Joel weren't on the show at the same time. But Chris Pennock's stint on the show coincided with the tale end of Marie's run - and it was definitely a hoot and a half to see them on the same show again - but unfortunately their characters rarely (if ever) crossed paths.
