That Collins Beauty--Chris Collins

[Gothick]

Many thanks to our justly-feted El Misterioso for the captivating cameo portrait of handsome, attractive Chris Collins (portrayed by the late, much-lamented Don Briscoe).

In our time, Julia had learned [spoiler] that Chris Jennings actually was a descendent of Quentin Collins, and thus a Collins in his own right.  It was cool that Chris' Parallel Time counterpart actually bore the name of Collins.[/spoiler]

Too bad that Don had to leave the series very abruptly soon after this episode was taped due to health concerns.

Don was goregous and a good actor. I think after honing his craft he could have been amazing.  It makes me sad to think that he suffered so much after leaving DS.

I agree that Don Briscoe was an amazing actor. I'm very sad that he could only stay with the show for two years, but I guess I should be glad that he graced the sets of Dark Shadows.

I wish that Don had not left Dark Shadows. The Chris Collins character never had time to bloom into a fullfledged, three-dimensional character, which we all know would have been another spectacular addition to the stroyline.
