I could watch an entire show around Nicholas Blair. Humbert Allen Astredo is phenomenal. I do not know why Humbert only appeared in around 100 episodes.
@@darkshadowsfansunite8140 the new actress who played Vicki Winters made her strong and fearless.......the original actress who played Vickie never played her like that. she was always saying "I don't understand" plus was frightened of things.
Why couldn't the production team give Don Briscoe the same courtesy as Jonathan Frid and get him to pre-record those lines he spoke when wearing his fangs? The only time his speech is clear is a brief off-camera shot (when presumably he pulled them out)🤔
A various artists of actors, intriguing acts of their faith, of their accusation, a romantic drama storylines and an act of violence as taking for revenge and their other of it's faith.
The new actress playing Victoria is nice, but her eyes are not brown, like Alexandra's were. You'd think Dan Curtis would have tried to find a girl that looked the same! By the way, Barnabas using the two candle holders to make a cross is straight out of Horror of Dracula. I saw that movie when I was a teenager, and remembered that scene vividly. Barnabas must have seen that movie, too! lol! ~Janet in Canada
Villainous Nicholas always keep pressuring & threatening Julia to conduct the experiment to revive Eve again but she adamantly refused. Diabolos gave Nicholas 48 hours to make sure that Eve will be brought back to life. Now that Nicholas pressures Maggie to marry him & take her with him to the netherworld. Then, Vicki told Nicholas that he can't marry Maggie because of what he is. A warlock of course. Nicholas went to the cellar where Tom Jennings laid & used his powers, pulled a stake from his heart & raise him back to life to go to Vicki's room & tries to attack her & she screamed a blood-curdling scream, almost taken away but Barnabas calls her & saw the vampire Tom Jennings then he ran away. Then Tom Jennings's brother Chris Jennings visits Nicholas's residence & suspected about his brother death has something to do with Nicholas. Nicholas insists that the experiment must continue on for the sake of both Maggie's & Vicki's life. Barnabas agreed. Surprisingly, Tom Jennings appeared to Barnabas & tries to attack him, but fortunately he held two candle holders in the shape of the cross when the dawn sunrises, he vanished & destroyed. What happens next?
4:29 They're misquoting Dr Lang. He didn't say, "If Adam dies, then Barnabas will die too." That makes it sound as though both would cease to exist. He actually said, "Barnabas will be free and healthy as long as Adam lives ... But if Adam dies, Barnabas Collins will be as he was before.”
I loved how both Vicki and Barnabas stood up to Nicholas, even though Barnabas ultimately had to give in to Nicholas' demand to bring Eve back to life. At least he finally destroyed Tom Jennings once and for all. I wish they had given Alexandra this confrontational scene with Mr. Blair before she left. She and Kathryn had a wonderful chemistry between them, you could really feel that they were true BFFs. That quality was gone, however, once Betsy took over. I give points for her on the scene with Nicholas, however from here on out, she's just a poor imitation of the character of Vicki.
Alexandra Moltke took time off to have a baby. Afterward, she refused to return. The enraged writers then disposed of Winters in a manner that defied plot logic..
With the way Barnabas used those candle holders to form a cross, I think that Dan Curtis must have watched "The Horror of Dracula."
Satan sitting behind an executive's -style office desk? Just like some CEO.

That is a great question. The other characters were good, but I really like him as Nicholas.
@@darkshadowsfansunite8140 Nicholas was a character one of the best Villian character in Dark Shadows he makes Angelique look like a Angel.

he woulda made a good vampire!
Probably because Humbert was doing Broadway shows as well at the time iirc
I love dark shadows thank you
You are very welcome.

Nicholas was a good evil addition but evil is evil so must be fought. Barnabas will have to have the show down with Nicholas.
BARNABAS, DESTROYED THE VAMPIRE TOM JENNINGS, PERMANENTLY AND, LATER WATCHED AND, SMILED AS NICHOLAS, WAS DESTROYED.
Blair and, Julia having a scene, together 😅

Did they compensate Boris Karloff for the imitation of his voice?

24:20-25:37 Barnabas Collins vs Tom Jennings
Wow this scene really powerful

Why was the Victoria Winters actress changed
Alexandra Moltke took time off to have a baby. Afterward, she refused to return. The enraged writers then disposed of Winters in a manner that defied plot logic..
