Thanks.  I'm finally catching up with all the dreadful news of late. 

I'm surprised there are so few comments about the real reason for the cancellation that have just come out 53 years later.  Frankly for me it puts a whole new spin on Dan Curtis, Jonathan Frid, the Festivals and possibly any other actors who might have been in on the secret for all these years and never let it slip. 

Serendipity happens very rarely and they threw it all away hoping it would happen to them again.  Like Lara always said - little did they know it would be the peak of their career for most of them.

Happy Birthday
Not sure if I’ve run into you before or you changed your username.  But I wish you well. 

Is there a thread about this new news?

Julia: Yeah, I gargled today.
Barnabas: Huh???!!!!

McTrooper, the news is discussed on PennyDreadful's latest edition of her Terror at Collinwood podcast:

AUDIO VERSION:
www.terroratcollinwood.com/episodes/terror-at-collinwood-episode-95-why-dark-shadows-ended-with-mary-oleary

VIDEO VERSION:
https://youtu.be/BovuCHnW5xs

And there are some comments about it in this post in the Terror at Collinwood topic:

Wow, what a fascinating installment...

It's not so much that it's all new news because parts of it have been known for years (as far back as 1972) with some fans accepting it, but with others wanting to ignore it or outright disbelieve it. However, the podcast gives the situation a deep dive and does present much new info that it backs up with actual documents.

And Happy Belated Birthday, EB!
