David is sooo adorable holding the chalkboard...i have never seen him grin from ear to ear before he has a very sweet smile and is a very wonderful little actor

[@malcolmnicoll1165]

Thanks for posting these wonderful DS classics. Most grateful!

[@hollyb6885]

Love love love Louis Edmonds. No one plays the upper crust snobby type better than this actor!!!

[@thomasleary2814]

+Holly B Here, here!

[@atlantic-yq2wr]

Poor Josette! Were it not for her, David would have been consigned to the flames. She must have been thinking to herself, "Damn idiots! How many clues and hints do I need to give them!"

[@kimberleestehle4573]

Roger cracks me up - he's such a drama King!

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

King?

[@sharonlatour6230]

Roger showed a venerable side of himself , it was rather touching. Louis Edmonds plays him so well.

[@inspectorspinda]

too true

[@Janadu]

Okay, David holding the slate at the beginning was so darn cute! Wonder who that was who put his hand over his face at the end...

[@scdevon]

Janadu It was likely Director John Sedwick based on the audio equipment he was wearing.

[@jamesronniegreen9187]

Yeah, Janadu, I thought it was cute too.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Nice way to open the show!!

[@JohnRedshaw]

Don't you love how Josette springs that big old book open right to the page she wants to show Roger? "Take a look at THIS, Pops! Convinced yet? Sacre blu!"

[@lindacookingham7]

Good episode. So sweet with David holding slate. He seemed like he was an all around, down to earth kid. So glad Roger showed emotion for David. Loved it when he called him son. They could be very tender to each other. I wished Vicki had told David that Carolyn thinks of David as her little brother. I think all David ever needed was for people to want him.

[@KRex1961]

Roger having a coming to jesus moment there at the end...haha!

[@RovingRoy]

The only way Roger would come to Jesus is if Jesus turned Roger's water into brandy!

[@thomasleary2814]

Roger's Epiphany! (and not a moment too soon!)

[@rhondablack8994]

David was so cute in the Announcement😊😊😊😊

[@hollyb6885]

Somebody help me!!! I can't stop watching this show!! As a kid I only started watching Dark Shadows once Barnabas was introduced. I had no idea the show was so good before that time.

[@stormwatcher59]

+Holly B If it helps any, you are not alone! I raced home from school to watch Barnabas..... now I am here!!! lol

[@jamesronniegreen9187]

Holly B and stormwatcher59, it was the same with me. I started watching the show when I was not quite 11 years old, and, as in stormwatcher59's case, that was when Barnabas was on the show.

[@jovonnaholman2008]

That made Roger a believer!

[@MrMaxismybaby]

@21:27(?)Roger really was afraid! I think he was afraid for David!

[@mcqueenfanman]

Roger should leave the bottle on the coffee table or carry a flask.

[@steelmonkey2532]

NOW Roger Really needs that brandy!

[@kimc1701]

I guess Roger has a heart after all

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Okay, so Joe's been red pilled and now Roger. I do declare, this is my favorite story-line of the entire 5 year run. Sorry Barnabas and Quentin.

[@davidchristman3597]

Don't worry I'm there for you today

[@caroldevall281]

BINGO Roger, I Believe, I Believe

[@atlantic-yq2wr]

To make it more believable, and to buy the much needed time, perhaps Guthrie could have suggested that Laura belonged to some strange cult that observed the remaking of history by way of fiery suicides. Not the truth, but at least enough to make Roger and Burke more convinced.

[@sharonlatour6230]

David Hennessy is so cute! Then who ever put their hand over his face made me laugh! He plays his part so well! I'm beginning to really like David H. playing David C.

[@countmeworthy]

Laura 'inhuman'???? Just because she's a Phoenix gal. Noooooo! IMPOSSIBLE of her capability of being 'inhuman'! hee hee hee!!!!!!!

[@countmeworthy]

as the book opens......... have another drink Roger ! It did not even phase him to tell Vicki the book opened all by itself. Cheers Roger! Cheers to you and your brandy. hee hee

[@dickdastardlydastardly9997]

countmeworthy What a pompous lush he was in character. Great actor!

[@stormwatcher59]

+countmeworthy I'm reading comments before starting this episode ~ maybe I should have a brandy!

[@countmeworthy]

+stormwatcher59 It's been over a year since I have watched the videos. The show is definitely a 'classic'.... the narration at the beginning of the shows, the 'eerie, suspenseful music'. The campy lines, the flubbed lines, the change of dress with the times, the time travel especially the late 1700s, and the memorable lovable characters. :-DDD happy memories !

[@janetg2058]

Was Joan Bennett sick o r on vacation? It doesn't fit the storyline that she would be this "sick" for so long, especially when Laura is not focusing on it.

[@kimberleestehle4573]

She is up state in a hospital in a trance which she was put in by supposedly Laura Collins. She will be reappearing again
