if it kept snowing at Collinwood What would happen.

It it kept snowing at Collinwood what would happen? Would there be fights, murders,
interesting conflicts.  What would happen with Cabin Fever. How long would it take to cover Collinwood to the top of the roof.

What would happen with Barnabas as a Vampire or not a Vampire. Would he move to
Collinwood.

Who would do the shoveling?

Gerard (Who's very sore right now because he had to shovel that hard-packed ice/snow combo with a regular shovel since the snow blower has been broken for years.)

Would there be fights, murders, interesting conflicts.

I'm imagining the movie Clue, and and setting it at Collinwood, with Collinses instead of Professor Plum et al.

Who would do the shoveling?

Willie, of course.  And all we know what Barnabas would say when he slipped on the ice!

[arashi]

That would have been an interesting theme to explore had there ever been weather on the show... everyone getting trapped in the house for several days as a Nor'easter raged outside.  Of course, with 40+ rooms people wouldn't really be up each other's butts as they would in a much smaller house.

But if you throw in some new supernatural threat.... ala Rose Red, like people just started disappearing in the house.... that would have been fun. Even that big house would start to feel mighty claustrophobic.

Willie, of course.  And all we know what Barnabas would say when he slipped on the ice!

  

[Willie Loomis]

Who would do the shoveling?  DUH......why mrs. johnson of course........

[loril54]

Julia would pass out all the sedatives.

A Rose Red angle could have been very interesting. And just imagine Collinwood adding more rooms to itself than it already has!

Or the existing rooms could stretch and grow, such as a tiny linen closet becoming a large playroom.  Oh wait...

You never know with those big old houses!

LOL!

The residents of Collinwood could have a great time if they were snowed in.  Imagine a group going from room to room playing a game called 'Who Died Here?" and see who could remember the most deaths in that room.

There's always a seance marathon to be had. See how many dead relatives they can conjure up.

Or play pin the tail on the vampire.

[arashi]

LOL! My guess is while playing they'd probably stumble upon (God Help Us) another door to Parallel Time, a couple more relatives that "went abroad" or perhaps even a real kitchen or bathroom! 

[Nancy]

Hmm. Maybe.

They could also play a game called "Name that Curse." Play it in the kitchen . . .

I remember several of the Marilyn Ross DS novels took place during snowstorms & the characters would be essentially stranded on the estate. The characters would go back & forth between Collinwood & the Old House, but were unable to use the roads going into the village. I always liked those DS novels - the wintertime atmosphere was always very effective.

If Barnabas was still a vampire during a blizzard, what would he do about obtaining blood? If he transformed himself into a bat, would he be able to fly through heavy snowfall to the village? It would be interesting to see him in a situation where he would be forced to turn to one of the inhabitants of Collinwood for blood. Would Julia or Willie offer themselves? Would he, in a weak moment, bite Maggie? Carolyn? Elizabeth? Would Quentin be able to help Barnabas? Would would happen to Barnabas if he drank some of Quentin's blood?

[Gothick]

If Barnabas drank some of Quentin's blood, it could lead to a very HAIRY situation.

*ducks missiles* sorry, couldn't resist!

I remember that Quentin was portrayed in those awful Ross novels as some extremely punked-out hippie-folkie type--and I'm sure that Selby would have looked adorable in such threads!
