ALL-TIME FAVORITE DS MOMENT:
So many to choose from, I would have to go with Angelique [spoiler]as a vampire and finally getting her fangs into Barnabas.[/spoiler] Some of the best Angelique/Barnabas moments came out of that.
________________________________________________________________________________________
FAVORITE OH, YUCK, THAT WAS AWFUL, BUT CAN I SEE IT AGAIN MOMENT:
Whenever Jason was charming, then threatening (or visa versa) Elizabeth, he really made my skin crawl when he was doing that, yet was so fascinating to watch, I couldn't take my eyes away.
________________________________________________________________________________________
FAVORITE GHOST:
From the evil ghosts, Quentin, he was so spooky he scared me to death as a child! Even now I find he is still quite menacing. From the nice ghosts, Sarah as she was always willing to help and protect Maggie and David from the clutches of big brother Barnabas.
________________________________________________________________________________________
FAVORITE I DIDN'T LIKE THEM AT FIRST, BUT THEN THEY GREW ON ME CHARACTER:
Willie Loomis. He was such a creep at first, but once Barnabas got a hold of him, he became more sympathetic and more likable. So in a weird, twisted way, his releasing Barnabas from the coffin just may have been the best thing that ever happened to him.

BEST CLUELESS IN COLLINWOOD CHARACTER:
Roger gets my vote on this one. He constantly scuffs at the supernatural time and time again, despite the fact
just about all of the time it's proved there are many weird things going on in the house or around the estate.

FAVORITE SCENE STEALER:
Nicholas Blair (I always looked forward to an episode with him because you just know he's got something up his sleeve)
________________________________________________________________________________________
FAVORITE STORYLINE OR PLOT:
Any of the time-travelling segas. The Quentin/Beth ghosts, Angelique as a vampire, and the werewolf story are all worthy runner-ups.
________________________________________________________________________________________
WORST STORYLINE:
This one is easy for me....the one storyline on DS I could not get into no matter how hard I tried, the 1970 Parallel Time storyline.
________________________________________________________________________________________
FAVORITE ROMANCE OR ROMANTIC MOMENT:
Daphne running into Quentin's arms after [spoiler]escaping from Gabriel when he kidnapped her, Leticia and Desmond's "wedding" in his jail cell, Vicki and Peter's farewell in her cell before she's taken to the gallows.[/spoiler] Sorry I just couldn't narrow it to one!
________________________________________________________________________________________
FAVORITE VILLIAN:
All of the male Trasks....I hated all of them with a passion but they were all played so brilliantly by Jerry Lacy
________________________________________________________________________________________
WORST COUPLE:
Toss-up between Quentin and Amanda and 1970 PT Quentin and Maggie. I also wasn't crazy about Barnabas falling head over hills in love with Roxanne at first sight.
________________________________________________________________________________________
I WISH THEY HAD GOT TOGETHER BUT DIDN'T COUPLE:
Barnabas and Julia. (Though I know Sam Hall did write a story after the show ended that they did get together and marry...it would have been better if we could have seen this happen just before the show went off the air). They had such great chemistry together. Would have liked to have seen Carolyn and Tony and Maggie and Joe get back together too.
________________________________________________________________________________________
CHARACTER YOU WISH THEY HAD USED MORE:
Roger. As insufferable as he could be at times, he was also a blast to watch. After the 1795 saga, except for marrying Cassandra, I noticed he was missing in action a lot of the time and even more so during the Quentin haunting Collinwood and absent all the way through the Gerard/Daphne ghost story. Always enjoyed Louis Edmonds no matter who he was playing (though Joshua was my favorite of all his characters).
________________________________________________________________________________________
FAVORITE SUSPENSE:
When Charity [spoiler]staked Barnabas[/spoiler] I was horrified. I couldn't believe my favorite character was truly gone forever. I spend the next few weeks wondering if I would be eventually proven wrong. (And thankfully I was).
________________________________________________________________________________________
THIS HAD ME ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING MOMENT:
When Trask is talking with Nathan Forbes and Barnabas' voice is talking to him. Forbes can't hear the voice and Trask can and shouts and rambles on and Forbes is looking at Trask like he was thinking Trask has gone bonkers. That whole scene had me in stitches
Another moment is when Judith drags Edward out of the bad in the middle of the night to tell him she's moving into Grandmother's room. She tells him she can't resist making the most out of being the new mistress of the house and Edward tells her "you're doing splendidly sister! Just splendidly!" Too funny!

FAVORITE DS BLOOPER:
When the window shade at Tate's studio falls off. One of the all-time great bloopers!
