Favorite Julia Scenes (per MB request)

[Gothick]

I love it when she gets in his face and is so defiant in Leviathan when he tries to patronize her and give her the cold shoulder ... "See how good a detective I can be!"  The sarcasm in that line reading practically bores holes through the floorboards.

And again in Leviathan, I just love her reaction when Barnabas informs her he's had a "talk" with Megan.  Can't recall the exact wording of the line at the moment, even though it's one of those scenes I compulsively play over and over again whenever I come to it..

I'm at the Dream Curse/Cassandra storyline and I do love the scene between the two gals:

C:  I think you're....inlove with him.
J: [snidely]  NOT nearly as much as you....

Yes - love that scene as well.


Some of my favorites that haven't been mentioned yet:

1967:
All the scenes between Julia and Carolyn while Carolyn is under Barnabas' control.

Any scene depicting the deteriorating relationship between Julia and Barnabas.

1968/69:
The cemetery scene in which Julia entreats Barnabas to return from 1796.

Leviathans:
Julia's entire part. Even amidst the dreadfully constructed second half of this storyline, Grayson remains a standout - particularly in the scenes where Barnabas accuses Julia of being a bad detective, and Julia throws that remark back in his face after she witnesses how overly concerned he is with Carolyn - and when Julia and Quentin realize Jeb has turned Barnabas into a vampire.

1970PT Period:
Not an actual 1970PT scene because it involves RTJulia and RTLiz in RT, but when RTJulia vows to RTLiz that she would wait forever in the east wing room if she knew Barnabas would return to her.

1995:
Julia agonizes over having betrayed Barnabas secret to the sheriff, and Barnabas forgiving her for having done so.

1840/41:
Julia fearing she would die from Roxanne's attack, and Barnabas desperately trying to rescue her - particularly their reunion.


And Nightfall59 - great avatar!

GMTA - and at practically the same time!

The "What else have you had?" remark. It kills every time!

While trying to think of a fun Julia scene, I suddenly realized how well Grayson Hall worked with so many different actors on the show. My favorites weren't limited to her Julia scenes with Barnabas; they included:

1967: Julia & Carolyn's catty scenes when Barnabas was plotting to destroy Julia
1968: Julia & Nicholas Blair's verbal showdowns during the Adam storyline
1968: Julia can't pull the wool (or cloak) over Professor Stokes' knowing eyes
1968: Julia & Tom Jennings makin' whoopie in the woods
1969: Julia comes to 1897 and tangles with Angelique
1970: Julia helps Grant Douglas find his inner-Quentin

She didn't just give her all in her scenes and storylines with Barnabas - she made every interaction Julia had with every character a memorable and entertaining one.

1968: Julia & Tom Jennings makin' whoopie in the woods

Oh, gosh, yes, Grayson Hall made that whole subplot just phenomenally good from start to finish.

[michael c]

agreed.

i detested most of 1968 but this little subplot was like a little ray of sunshine so to speak during the insufferable adam stoyline.

[Taeylor Collins]

I adore the Tom/Julia action. It was about time someone pentrated Julia good! And I mean that as the vampire bite which is very sexual act --but that is another topic. HA! With all her repressed feelings for Barney and drama at Collinwood she needed some release poor dear.

[joe integlia]

you mean someone on dark shadows actually said "I UNDERSTAND"? i thought it was always "I DONT UNDERSTAND" lol. i actually put together a montage of everyone on the show saying "I DONT UNDERSTAND" and showed it at a festival many years ago after a blooper reel i put together long before mpi made one. I ended it with that clip of Julia saying "I UNDERSTAND, COMPLETELY" and it brought the house down!

[Julia99]

Joe is that on YouTube?  I'd love to see it.

[joe integlia]

i would hesitate to put that on youtube. not sure if it would be considered a copyright violation. i also would have to find it first. maybe i could post it on this board somehow.

[Julia99]

there is so much DS stuff on YouTube already...you can make it private not public, raising less ire.

[Gothick]

Julia says "I understand, completely," with a smile that's every inch the cat that copped the cream, when she's goading Barn about meeting her for breakfast or lunch or at some other "inconvenient" daytime hour.  This is almost right before the infamous boudoir scene...

I watched that scene rather recently.  quite good.
the juxtaposition of everyone saying I don't understand to Julia's I understand completely--fun stuff !
