Yeah, that would work!   [ghost_smiley]

Mind you, my scenario--having a series set in parallel time--would work just as well and then we get to see KLS as well!  Maybe bring in a cousin of the late novelist William Loomis and then John Karlen can join the fun!

Wow, another thought occurred to me...

What television actors would people like to see in a revived DS?  Just asking that question immediately brought some names to mind...

Marcia Cross
Lisa Edelstein
Ben Browder
Claudia Black
Jeri Ryan
Nana Visitor
Michelle Forbes
James Marsters
Nicholas Brendan
Wayne Pygram
Nathan Fillion

Ben Browder

Nana Visitor

I always like to see them... along the same lines I'll add Kate Mulgrew as someone rich and aristocratic though not Liz.

The actress who played Alti on Xena... Claire Stansfield...??  She can be scary.

A new Dark Shadows series, taking the original characters in different directions and in different circumstances would indeed be exciting. However, I can't imagine the show without its backbone------the unforgettable chatacters that made it so successful. After all, isn't that what made it the show we all know and love?  [ghost_smiley] I agree that retelling the story would be redundant. I would love to see new storylines. [ghost_grin]

someone finding Quentin's portrait (an enemy/villain, perhaps) and destroying or damaging it, necessitating a rapidly aging Quentin to return to Collinsport.  Of course the damage would be halted, the villain stopped, but not soon enough to reverse the partial ravages of age.  David Selby (should he be interested) could remain on the show or a as a recurring guest star....

David Selby playing a character ravaged by age, even partially??!  [ghost_shocked]

I've been thinking about the whole idea of male on male vampires.

What is we went back to the idea of a Julian Hoffman for the doctor. He would be guy but he wouldn't be "out". Barnabas being from 1795 would have no idea, of course we would. Barnabas could still go after Maggie or Vickie hoping to find "his Josette" and just wouldn't get that Dr. Hoffman was in love with at. At least at first. Who knows maybe in the third or so year the Dr. could come out. Maybe in time Maggie would says yes to Barnabas and on their wedding night....Barnabas would understand that he doesn't really want Maggie.....He wasn't willie!

Now you've got me thinking about the film Lair of the White Worm, where Amanda Donahoe's character seduces a boy scout and then bites him on the, um.... willie....  [ghost_tongue2]

I just don't think Barnabas would come out even if he was gay, not coming from 1795. He would have a hard enough time just getting used to electric lights. Maybe one of the females that is turned into a vampire could be gay and could fall for Maggie. That could lend itself to some story twist as well. Or a male that is changed could be gay and could go after a Collins causing Barnabas to go back in time to stop himself from biting the guy.
