No idea, Charles. The original idea may have been just a voiceover and then the notion of using another actress in blurred longshot may have appealed to the director... I don't have any idea about what happened.
I'm guessing GH never saw the finished product.

Board traffic on IMDB continues to claim that season 4 of Dante's cove will be in production as soon as they line up all the "actors" involved.

Robot Quentin, did you know that Grayson did a voiceover for a bad 1970s "art" film called Pick-up? She was supposed to be the spirit of the ancient Priestess, the Pythia, of Apollo.
It's actually on YouTube if you search Grayson Hall...
Warmest wishes,

Current Talk '10 I / Re: Dark Shadows remembered
« on: April 02, 2010, 04:34:04 PM »
I was waiting for the bus this a.m. thinking April 2... the day we lost DS ... sigh.
I can still remember that day, and my disbelief as Thayer David's closing narration was heard. I did think it was *very* cool that Thayer was chosen to end the show. I found out a few years back that they wanted Jonathan Frid to read that closing narration, but he refused.
I also remember, as I've wearied you all recalling many times, tuning in the following Monday just in case it was still there and finding the indignity of Password in its place--and up until then, I had actually enjoyed Password! Ugh.

Calendar Events / Announcements '10 I / Semi OT: The Lair season 3
« on: April 02, 2010, 04:28:58 PM »
Fans, the discs for season 3 of "The Lair," here!TV's velveetaesque gay vampire soap opera, are now available on Netflix and I have been catching up with the latest antics. Creator/director/writer Fred Olen Ray (a friend of Barbara Steele's, btw) continues to show his appreciation for DS and Hammer vampire movies. In the new season, not only is there a character who talks to a ghost on a disconnected candlestick telephone (and there's even a tracking shot showing that the phone wires aren't connected to anything that mimics a similar shot from a 1969 DS episode), there's also a character who represents a palpable nod to a storyline from the 1991 series comic books (published by the shortlived "Innovation comics"). Not bad, eh?
Sybil Danning is a guest star on the new season, but does not appear until episode 8 so I have yet to see her. Can't wait!

Thanks, Midnite! yes, they screen some material over and over and over again, but can Pierson be bothered to take the time out to return Grayson's Playtex commercial to her eagerly awaiting fans? Aber nein! *sobs*
I was thinking about Grayson's One Life to Live episodes this morning, for some reason, and wondering whether I'll ever get the chance to see more of them. I just love how grandly she chews that rather threadbare scenery as Euphemia Ralston.
MSC, I am dying here from your descriptions of Ruth Warrick (who earns an honorary place in DS heaven since she played Big Lou's spouse on another soap) and Anna Lee, especially the glazed architectural hairdos! LOL! I think there's something distinctly Lady Bird Johnson about Joan's later (circa 1970) do.

MB, honey, you really and truly blow my mind! I loved the Governor and JJ, one of those forgotten series, but to actually be able to remember what Joan wore... I must have missed her appearance on the show because I am sure I would have remembered at least the fact of her being on it.
If she wore it on that show, presumably it was from her personal wardrobe.

The ensemble you mention for Julia was new, and never worn by her on the series. I think the other clothes she wore were recycled from the show. I still don't understand why they made Joan wear the infamous lurid chartreuse shroud dress--it dated to 1966! I would have thought she would have put pressure to get it changed but perhaps at that point in the proceedings she no longer cared.
hoDS set flunky to Joan: "Hey, aren't you Joan Bennett?"
Joan: "I used to be."
