Quote:

1967: On Dark Shadows, Dr. Julia Hoffman's (Grayson Hall) experiments with Barnabas Collins' (Jonathan Frid) blood went terribly awry and his youthful appearance reverted to that of a 175-year-old vampire. The horribly disfigured Barnabas accused Julia of having taken revenge on him after he rebuffed her romantic overtures. Julia denied the charge, but reveled in the fact that Barnabas had to cancel his pending rendezvous with Vicki.

I'm just remembering Julia's egging Barnabas on to attack Vicki in one of the two Old Barnabas scripts. Julia's character is written really inconsistently in those two shows. I still have no idea what was going on there.

the writing for Julia was somewhat inconsistent during this period. she was not fully solidified until after 1795.
