No, Dark Lady. I simply enjoy collecting and sharing anecdotes about my all time favorite actress... Grayson Hall.

This is just too cool! I don't even recall the shot of the portrait from my one viewing of the pilot, so had I been admitted to the mansion, I am afraid I wouldn't even have recognized that. It is bizarre that WB never claimed their property. I wonder if it's still there? You know that painting would fetch a pretty price at a Festival auction.
Even though the date is given as 1788 to my untutored eye it looks more early 1800s. Certainly very Byronic.
Thanks so much to Midnite and MB! Happy Holidays!

Grayson liked some gourmet dishes and she would attempt to tell the young fans about this kind of food and the reaction was predictable.
One of her favorite dishes was Carpaccio, raw beef medallions served with a kind of sauce. She first had it at Harry's Bar (Cipriani's) in Venice. Grayson pronounced it "divine" and the fans all went "EWWW!"
I don't think any of the fans ever forgot any time they were fortunate enough to spend with Grayson...

I saw an ad somewhere last night, or maybe it was this morning (my brains are literally frying in the extreme heat we're experience today) stating that all the existing episodes are available for free viewing on fox.com over the next month or so as a promotion for the new season of this show. I may have misunderstood that, but this was what the ad seemed to state when I saw it.

Wow. I'm away for four days and the hospital scene STILL continues. I guess it will simply go on till Yule...
But I'm grateful to you, MB, for carefully transcribing this dialogue, since I don't recall ANYTHING of the scene between Juiia and Patterson, and I wouldn't want to miss out on her juicy little line about "blood obsessions."
I think you said that Roger was written out of the scene as shot.
Thanks,
G.

MB love, forgive me for putting you to all that effort. And I shouldn't bellyache because, mostly, I've been fascinated by your meticulous excavation of this, the most obscure DS artifact in the entire canon.
But this scene... I'm starting to ask myself, "will it ever end?"
I'm really amused that we're up against the beginning of July and Barnabas has yet to arrive at Collinwood....

I am now officially bored with the hospital scene(s). Did any of it survive the final cut? I guess if I check your charts, I will be able to tell. It seems to be taking up an awful lot of what was only a 40 minute piece of film. The only dramatic significance, apart from showing the audience what's happened to Carolyn and filling in some very cliche (for a vampire drama) medical details, is to introduce the characters of Julia and the Sheriff. I don't even remember the Sheriff at all from my one viewing.
I'm also starting to remember stuff from the viewing that really did not work for me, but I'll hold off on talking about that until later in this thread.

There's an advance clip scene between Green and Treadaway (from tonight's show) on YT that is stunning... and it really exemplifies how this story is completely about character emotions and interactions... which is why I love it. THIS is what I would call a Dark Shadows flavor...

A friend of mine has a theory that Ethan may be an avatar of Anubis, the jackal-god of ancient Egypt, who was a Psychopomp--a guide of the Dead from this realm to the Fields of the Just--the Opener of the Way, and the God who magically reunited the dismembered limbs of the dead Osiris and returned Him to life. But Ethan may not be aware that he is an avatar...
Another friend thinks that Ethan received some form of Initiation rite from one of the tribes in his travels in America and that initiation is the source of his ability to commune with the wolves.
I like this second view the best... but it's really all pure speculation at this point.

Bat, those are excellent points. I thought the same about the Ethan/Dorian scene but I did appreciate the subtlety and beauty of the seduction involved.
I see what you mean about the character of Sir Malcolm, but I doubt whether he's going anywhere.
I think Ethan is in some ways the biggest mystery of all. There are a lot of theories, which some fans are practically treating as canon now, but in reality, we know very little about him.
The behavior of the Caliban character reminds me a lot of Adam, but the dialogue and the way Caliban's stuff is mounted and presented is soooo much better. And the scenes are well paced. The Adam scenes tended to drag on and on. I actually think Robert Rodan did some fabulous work in the role but, sadly, few fans seem willing to acknowledge that.

No, JF did sometimes go over to the Halls' apartment for dinner and they would sometimes work on lines. I don't know if she was chopping veg and spouting DS dialogue while JF was reading and sometimes prompting her at the table, or if the read-throughs happened after dinner.
It's been reported in a couple of places, but I think Matt Hall wrote about it in one of his blog entries:

A number of the Shadows players used to have dinner at Grayson and Sam's. When Nancy Barrett was asked for memories about Grayson on one occasion, I think the first words out of her mouth were: "She was a fabulous cook."

I enjoyed the trailer. Sounds almost like a Miss Marple story but with Tony and Cassandra and a pack of malevolent Witches.
