  • The focus of the show when it began was Victoria Winters which makes Alexandra Moltke a favorite of cast, crew and fans. Alexandra speaks candidly about her role and leaving the series. David Henesy had some amazing moments as the young David Collins but chose not to continue acting. Nancy Barrett, as Carolyn Stoddard, is well loved by cast and production crew and shares some of her thoughts on the series.
    With the release of Dark Shadows on videotape and DVD, MPI Video included a series of about 120 interviews that were recorded over a period of years. One of these 5-10 minute interviews would play at the end of each DVD. Those interviewed included Dan Curtis, the Creator/Executive Producer, as well as Directors, Cameramen, and many other crew members. There were also a number of interviews of some of our favorite cast members.
    I found these interviews fascinating. As I viewed them, I found that themes emerged, likely because those being interviewed were asked the same questions. These themes included: how did you come to Dark Shadows, who were some of your favorite cast members (asked of production and crew members as well), what was it like to be a part of, and why do you think it lasted. Many other questions were geared to the person being interviewed that created some great content. These themes led me to the videos that I have put together. I have a long list so expect more to come. I call the series In Their Own Words because the people being interviewed are telling the whole story. There is the sadness that some of our favorite cast members: Joel Crothers, Grayson Hall, Thayer David, and Joan Bennett passed away before the series of interviews was started.

      I agree. She has been more active lately and was part of Dark Shadows Christmas Carol in December, 2021. The reading of Christmas Carol was fine but I enjoyed some discussion time with the actors in the Zoom meeting.

    Kathryn Leigh Scott was my Favorite Actress on DS. She was natural, charismatic and always believable. She had a "girl next door" quality Without being a naive "I don't understand what's going on" type. She was so Beautiful too, with that auburn hair.🌟😍

    The reason Alexandra Moltke was hired was because of her resemblance to Joan Bennett. I wonder why they never pursued a storyline about Victoria being Elisabeth's illegitimate daughter.

      @@Bette-tp5gj I'd watch them do scenes together and think, "How can the other characters not see the striking resemblance?" But the writers never got around to it, I guess. Barnabas showed up and the show took a whole different direction. That's especially true when Vicky went back in time to be in the Barabas backstory, maybe the best storyline in the series.

      That was the original story plan, but Alexandria left the series before they pursued it. None of the subsequent actresses playing Victoria Winters looked enough like Joan Bennett to make it a convincing angle, so it was scrapped. However, the audio revival series finally got around to establishing that Victoria Winters was Elizabeth Collins' daughter, so it's actually canon now.

      With the exception of dark brown hair... Moltke looked NOTHING like Joan Bennett.

    Everyone loved Alexandra, and was upset she left without finishing her story line. She left in November 1968, her story line
    would of carried her till January 1969. We all wished she had held on a little longer then after the birth of her son, return to the
    show later in 1969.Yes, they could of gave her an evil twin ,had her under a spell or possessed..for a while at least, but we lost her.

    The dark shadows still is and always will be one of America's favorite / the cast is so amazing and directed so great that perhaps the actors made it realistic and comfortable with every detail standing on the seat waiting for Barnabas to be a lady's man for every lady on the show his twist from Maggie to Victoria down to Angelic ben stokes wow I was the whole series but at the thought Barnabas took off with doctor Julia in red car and bananas was in passenger seat and Julia driving

    Conrad was an unusual name first even for the 1960s. not too many americans by that name. unless they were older in the 1960's and Conrad Fowks was the younger in those days. why when the credits rolled up in episode 21 of season 3 I thought that name was the father.

      His first name is actually Conard. I met him once at a DS fest. A nice fellow.

    Alexander Molthke Isles might not like looks as that quiet as beautiful and has that as not a quiet younger look, might has an different outlook, but still looks very attractive. Nancy Barrett might not looks a quiet as that pretty, but by a hair cut short, as a different outlook, she as still has the same cute outlook of an attraction.

    Conrad Folwkes of the reddish color and on the back coverings of his head/hair, looks like he has as head hat coverings, makes him looks likes he's some of pastor, like a Bishop or a cardinal. And of course, as from the window light, that's what makes it looks like it, as at it as it shines, from the back of his head/hair
