Well, he and Nancy do have wonderful chemistry together as Desmond and Leticia, and, to some degree, in the 1841 PT segment as Kendrick and Melanie.

It's just that in my twisted mind, that pales before the scenario I've concocted that takes place in between the acts with Desmond and Quentin!

Happy Ostara to you and yours, btw.  I pray that a few daffodils will grow, somehow, somewhere, in a quiet green field where no bombs ever fall.

So, Jennifer, don't you wish Tim would take his shirt off some time???

I just mourn that we don't get to see more of Don Briscoe's hot body during the remainder of his time on DS!  There used to be some gorgeous snaps of him from the house of DS film on Michael Miozza's lovely website devoted to the films.

Jennifer thanks for noting this.  I watched Night Gallery religiously back in the original b'cast.  There are a lot of them I haven't seen since.  One of my top faves is "Since Aunt Ada came to stay."  When I was living in Taiwan, at some point I was walking down a street.  I happened to pass a TV store and they were running NG (with Chinese subtitles, of course!) and it was Aunt Ada.  I remember I stood there and watched the entire show standing in front of that shop.  Nobody bothered me, of course, I was just the crazy foreigner watching telly on the street.

"Certain Shadows on the Wall" with the fabulous Grayson Hall in an incredible cast (Agnes Moorehead, Louis Heyward, and Rachel Roberts) is another top fave, and so is Return of the Sorceror with Bill Bixby, Vincent Price, and this witch-chick whose name eludes me at present.  I'll never forget Vinny's line "that woman is insatiable!"

There are a lot of great ones.  Oh and the Big Surprise, with darling John Carradine--probably the best piece of film he ever did!

I'll have to try and figure out just when Sci Fi runs the series.

Just to make it clear ... I don't think Nancy was making a criticism, explicit or implicit, of Grayson's acting abilities.  The two did have a lot of scenes together but Nancy doesn't really recall working with her. What she does remember is how Grayson always loved to have her over to her home for some spectacular culinary creation.

When Nancy participated in an online chat, a friend was kind enough to ask her, on my behalf, about her memories of Grayson.  She said on that occasion that although she and Grayson had very few scenes together on Dark Shadows, she would never forget Grayson's friendship or her wonderful hospitality.

She also commented that Grayson had changed her date of birth on her driver's license.  Nancy added the laughing comment:  "You have to be Grayson Hall to be able to get away with things like that!"

Well,  good Goddess, Darren, you would think encoding the DVDs per act would be a no-brainer for these boys!  Ah well.

Here's another question for all the brains in the audience (lol).  Actually, this one pertains to folks who have had DVD players for a few years.

Do the little dears (the players, lol) hold up longer than CD players seem to do?  My latest CD player is dying on me.  I have yet to purchase one that lasted longer than 2 years.  The Walgreens downstairs from where I work has DVD players (APEX ones) priced at 60 bucks which is not too bad for something expected not to last longer than 18 months, I reckon.

TTFN,  Gothick

She was spending a lot of time that Summer working on her book, the Bennett Playbill.  I believe it was published in January 1970.

Hi Vlad,

I think the Alexander Cort credit may have been from the lists compiled by fans over the years; I don't believe the actor received a credit in the end titles.  I have not a clue what the source was for a lot of the info about the identity of people who were extras, ghosts, Cassandra's wrinkled hands, etc.  I thought that some fans who were involved in the NYC theatre scene or hung out at the studio way back when may have received this information from the actors themselves who did this work.

As for Claude North, he was portrayed by the fabulous Brian Sturdivant.  From the scripts leading up to Claude's appearance, it would seem that the writers intended him to be a major character in the next arc of the story.  This would appear to be one of those cases where DC abruptly dictated a change in story direction, presumably because of complaints from the fans.
