I so often see so many reminders while watching OLTL in regards to Dark Shadows.
I won't go into many here (like the recently revealed hidden chamber in Llanfair!!) AND very importantly, people were recently posting about the way the DS writers weren't given enough time to 'develop' JebEZ's good (er) characteristics; OLTL did the SAME hurry up job with Mitch.
Today, while watching, I started thinking of the characters (SYT).
Take 'twin's
OLTL Jessica & Natalie; I'll presume they're about 21ish (they drink booze legally on the show).
Yes, they're sweet young things, and I really like the Natalie character & actress (Please God do NOT make me go there about Jessica
)
But let's consider Nancy Barrett & TLATKLS; I believe they were both born in 1945, making them 22ish at the beginning of DS (1966).
They both seem so much more 'mature'; even Kitten spoiled Carolyn, no job, idle rich, still seems so much more deeper than the aforementioned OLTL characters.
Certainly, Maggie Evans (think the early days!) had so much more depth.
We all hear (and probably, most of us SAY), these kids today, they have it so easy...yada yada.
Anyone care to elaborate?
