Of Romance and Dark Shadows

[Bob_the_Bartender]

I watched KLS' interview on Volume 2 of the DS DVD Collection 14 recently, which presents the 1897 story line.

Anyway, Ms. Scott spoke of how much she enjoys appearing at the DS Festivals and meeting the many fans of the program.  She mentioned that many friendships and even romances among the fans have occurred over the years.  In fact, at the very end of the interview, Ms. Scott related that one of the DS actors met and eventually married one of the DS fans in attendance at the festival.  This was news to me.   (This reminded me of the time when the late Richard Dawson, as host of "The Family Feud," met one of the contestants on the game show and eventually married the woman.)

Unfortunately, Ms. Scott did not state which DS actor had married a DS fan.  As a lifelong "Nosy Parker," does anyone know who Ms. Scott was referring to?

Bob, she was referring to Roger Davis, who met his wife, Donna, at a DS Festival.  She accompanied him to a later Fest in 2002 and he introduced her around outside the ballroom.

Did Chris Pennock marry a fan as well?

Very interesting!  I had never heard about that.

Roger & Donna were married in 1991. I believe that they are still together.

Thank for the information, Midnite.

I understand that Mr. Davis is a graduate of Columbia University.  (No doubt, he had outstanding high school grades and he also must have absolutely aced the SAT's!!!)

In fact, I believe that several of the DS actors attended and/or graduated from Ivy League schools, including: Thayer David and Joel Crothers (Harvard University), Jonathan Frid (An MFA from Yale University), Grayson Hall (Cornell University, I think?) and Terry Crawford also attended one of the Ivy League schools.

In addition, I believe that the late, great Louis Edmonds graduated from Carnegie Mellon University, another outstanding university.

I know several couples who initially met at the DS Festivals and some have married.

Wow! I had never heard of any of this! Thanks you wonderful, nosy-Parker!!

Happy Thanksgiving

PS....can you imagine attending Harvard with Thayer David??? Cool bean man, cool beans.

[MagnusTrask]

Yeah, Thayer David as a college student at Harvard, I wonder what he was like... probably would cut you to ribbons with his tongue...

My big fandom has been Dr Who, and a group I may still be a member of (my dues have lapsed) can claim a Dr Who cast member marriage, to a fan club member.
