FAVORITE SCENE????

[elizabeth]

Please list favorite scenes that you could watch over and ever again.  
mine are:

Willie when he finds barnabas... What acting...Incredible scene in every way, set, lighting..Bravo.  Like a silent films classic.  

When Naomi enters for the first time in 1795.  She sort of sweeps in.   Just in time to save the day.  

When Nathan first comes on to Millicent.  She is putting on her coat and he ask her if she is going out.. Well you know the rest.  I laugh and laugh....as Millicent makes a jerk of her self giggling, head swinging around,  curls bouncing letting Nathan know she is easy pray.  Also LOve his sneaky phony laugh.  

I guess most all scenes with Nathan and Millicent are my favorite and of course all scenes with Elizabeth.    

Almost forgot, when the  countess makes her entrance in 1795.  Delightful...

One of my favorite scenes is when Barnabas finally sees the ghost of Sarah.  His love for her seems so realistic, as does his anguish when she leaves.

Elizabeth,
 My very favorite scene is definately the scene in 1840 where Barnbas proclaims his love for Angelique. I cry everytime I watch it. And I'm really not the crying type, either. These two actors/actresses were just so wonderful and it just seemed right to have them together after all of the years. It just was so sad how she never found out his true feelings until it was too late. It is honestly my favorite moment I have ever watched on any show. It's sad, television just isn't as good as it used to be.

Can you tell I'm a die-hard Angelique-Barnabas fan!?)

Laura being consumed by flames.  I remember  viewing this when it first aired in 1967--it was quite scary and so unlike anything on daytime TV then.

Willie opening the coffin and unknowingly releasing a vampire.

Mrs. Johnson answering a knock on the door to find Barnabus Collins--a cousin from England.

[Bette]

Julia confronts Barnabas in her bedroom when he comes to kill her.

All the scenes between Julia and Tom Jennings. 

Barnabas and Julia in 1995, just after he learns that she has betrayed him to the sheriff.

1795! I could watch that time period over & over again, it's my favorite.
I especially love when Angelique makes her entrance for the first time into the old house. It was just too bad that it had to be in black & white and not color.

Another favorite was when Angelique goes to the masoleum with Ben and is planning on staking Barnabas in the coffin. Instead, Barnabas awakens just in time to stop her from doing this.

I also loved the scene when Barnabas shoots Angelique and she, thinking that she is dying, places the curse on him for all eternity.

SPOILERS FOR LEVIATHAN STORY

I'm not sure if any of these are actually my favorite scene; a lot of the ones already mentioned might be better.







But there's an episode in Leviathan with 3 blockbuster scenes right after another.  Barnabas shows up to warn Angelique that her husband is with the Leviathans.  She won't believe him.  Then, her husband is expecting an important visitor, who enters and turns out to be Nicholas.  There's quite a scene with lots of things said with "double meanings" - and then Angelique and Nicholas get their showdown together.  That leads to some excitement between the husband and wife.  Really an incredible sequence.

The last time around I missed taping it.  I couldn't recall exactly how it all went down and I knew they were such fantastic scenes, so I went and rented that volume again to make sure not to miss it.

1795 - Angelique knocks on Barnabas' door and we learn that they had a torrid affair in Martinique--which she wants to continue, but he does not.

Barnabas and Angelique's sad little wedding ceremony, where she is the only one who is happy.  Barnabas, Ben and Naomi are so solemn, as if this were a funeral instead of a wedding.

Angelique curses Barnabas as a vampire and the bat swoops in and bites him.  Shortly afterwards, Ben comes in to find husband and wife lying on the floor, both bleeding and in bad shape.

Barnabas kills Nathan after playing with him as a cat does a mouse.  When Nathan shoots him at the Eagle, Barnabas informs him that he is already dead.

Barnabas and Joshua's farewell just before Ben locks Barnabas in the coffin for 175 years.  Very poignant.  I also was sad to see Ben say goodbye to his friend before locking him away.  Sad!

SPOILERS. . .





1841PT - Catherine tells Bramwell she's having his child.

Leviathan - Carolyn and Jeb awaken in bed together on their wedding night--very racy for DS!

Leviathan - Megan, a new vampire, enjoys herself by biting Roger Collins.  

1968 - Adam says "Barnabas"--his first word!

1968 - Barnabas goes to Cassandra to beg her to let Eric Lang live--and tells her she can have him back if she agrees.  He seems at one point as if he's going to bite her and she covers her throat to stop him, but he takes her hand and brings it. . .where?  We can only speculate.

1968 - Angelique, now a vampire, sinks her fangs into Barnabas as he screams in pain and terror over her shoulder.  You can see how tightly she's holding onto him, and how much she enjoys making him her victim.  A few eps later, she kidnaps him and spirits him to a hut near the sea, where she kneels behind him and bites his throat--erotic to the hilt!  The last time she bites him, hoping to turn him into a vampire and take him away with her, he tells her, "I'm dying." and she begs him not to be afraid.

There are dozens of favorite scenes, but these are a few that come to me right now.

Love, Robin

Spoilers!!!!







Without a doubt, during the Quentin's ghost storyline, I love the scene at the end of the episode that Quentin drives the whole family out of Collinwood.  Roger, before he closes the door, yells, "We'll be back, I promise you that" or something to that effect.  The camera then pans through all the main rooms of the great house and all you hear is Quentins theme and finally you see his ghost on top of the stairs laughing.

To me, that was one of the better moments in the series.  I loved the whole episode, but that final scene, I could watch over and over.

[Gerard]

For me, it's the scene in 1897 when Judith reads the will before her siblings:  Edward, Quentin and Carl, revealing who is the absolute heir to the entire Collins fortune.  It was so extremely well crafted, written and acted by all involved.

Judith:  "Keep it up, Quentin, and you'll end up with less than nothing."

A great question, Elizabeth.   Let's see-

1897: I recall an especially juicy kissing scene between Beth and Quentin that I look forward to seeing again!  

1897: Quentin finds a very animated Edith Collins in her coffin.  

1840:  The last scene where Angelique sacrifices herself for love and dies in Barnabas' arms.

1840 PT:  Morgan fights Bramwell and falls to his death.

1971: The final DS scene where Julia and Barnabas return from PT and all is well.

[Craig_Slocum]

Craig Slocum's scenes are my favorites, so I would watch those. A few of the best are, as Noah Gifford in 1795, he is hired by Nathan Forbes to kill Daniel Collins. He chases him through the graveyard, to the mausoleum. Daniel is hiding in the secret room. As Harry Johnson in the Adam storyline, the scene where he tries to leave the House By The Sea, after a visit with Nicholas Blair, and he can't get out. He goes back into the drawing room, which is dark and Nicholas has disappeared. A frightened Harry looks for a way out, then a spooky floating hand moves toward him, and he cries out. Also the scene when Harry comes back from the Blue Whale one night and his Mom (Mrs. Johnson) is waiting up for him. They go into the drawing room and she accuses him of stealing food from the kitchen. That whole dialogue was funny.
