I just watched a few minutes... quite offbeat, and I liked it. It reminds me of Queer as folk.

According to the y.t. commenters, several of the actors (or at least a couple) are alumni from One Life to Live, a soap with multiple DS connections.

I haven't read the article, but I agree with you, Josette. I lived in a development outside a small town in northern Maryland, and when I was a child in the mid to late 1960s, I remember there being multiple phones in most people's homes. I never had one in my bedroom, but we had one in our finished basement and I'd go down there when I wanted to gab with a friend about the latest movies we'd been watching on TV or the latest monster mags we'd found in the local shop, McIlhenny's.

I love today's photo. Miss Hoffman at her most insidiously reassuring. Of course Sam and Joe don't really buy any of it, but from what I recall, she manages to talk them into not rocking the boat for a while longer.

Hi KMR, I bet you're right about the mirror. Looking at the shot again (thanks MB for including it in your comment), I suddenly flashed back to the huge mirror Julia had hanging over her lab in 1840. (Whenever I watch those episodes now, I get totally distracted wondering just how Julia got that thing up there. A mirror that size would have been extremely heavy. Did Julia have levitation powers she never told anybody about??)

I remember reading decades ago in KLS's very first book about how they did a lot of shots in mirrors on the set, so I'm sure you're correct about this.

Thanks!

Cavada! La Divina!

Aunt Hannah! Perfect for a gloomy Sunday afternoon in Collinsport.

Angelexis was so totally psycho. Fun times!

Nice to see Robert Rodan and Craig Slocum featured today. Neither actor gets much discussion let alone positive attention from fans. Both were important figures in the infamous 1968 storyline, often criticized but because it was my first DS storyline, still my sentimental favorite (I now think of the PT 1970 storyline as the best of the Barnabas storylines with the most sophisticated writing, but even that had its moments... the original Laura Collins 1966-67 storyline was probably the finest ever produced on the show in terms of pacing and story coherence).
