NEW - 1840 - To Save the Collins Family - Barnabas Is Free of the Curse

[@melodiefrances3898]

When Julia's makeup is toned down she is outright beautiful.

[@nunicarmona7225]

Thank you I love dark shadows

[@jonhinson5701]

I love it when Barnabas reminds Julia that Angelique saved them both and she replies," Saved us for WHAT, Barnabas? For WHAT?" A valid concern .

[@blackpowerdiva4958]

Yea that was pretty gr8. Her long suffering, friend who wants to be a side wen ch emotions bubbling all up! Lol I wasn’t expecting that line / line delivery! 🤭😃😲

The scenes between Quentin & Samantha, Barnabas and Valerie, Quentin and Daphne and Julia and Barnabas keep getting deeper and more convincing.

[@danbaranowski]

13:35-16:51 a fine reconciliation between Barnabas and Angelique despite Julia’s jealousy and objections 10:01-12:28 Barnabas, Julia, and Angelique vs Gerard

[@woodie62]

I would side with the good doctor b/c she was with him throughout his ordeal, risking her life and professional standing time and again. Angelique had been nothing but trouble for BC and his family since the 18th Century origins. I still give her some regard for finally realizing that love just can't be bought, bullied or bargained for. But that all came too late in the evening for her. Wound up being a major loss. But I think Barnabas really bears the ultimate blame.

[@jaynekranc8607]

Barnabas is enjoying this so much. I love Jonathan's smile.

[@stevegraves3049]

A most remarkable episode

[@emilyannfrancesmay3919]

I dislike seeing Lamar Trask lurking in and out of Collinwood in 1840 as much as I disliked seeing Dear Gregory doing the same in 1897!

Both are just like father and grandfather, the so called Reverend Trask and lets remember he was never ordained.

[@MargaretDurka]

barnabas always loved angelique and he is no saint

[@LeoChiu229]

Wow, Carrie was so UPSET with Gerard "the Judah Zachary" took her grandfather Ben Stoke's diary. Gerard admitted that both he & villainous Trask did take it. Carrie noticed there was a change in Gerard's personality. Gerard is startled & surprised to see Barnabas in the daylight. Wow, what a twist! That really blows my mind. Angelique must have learned that Judah Zachary possesses Gerard's body after all. That's why she has a change of heart, lifts the curse, and professes her love to Barnabas. Angelique must have given up her powers as well. Julia is still skeptical of Angelique.

[@atticus8659]

I can't believe Barnabas is beginning to like Angelique now. She just killed Roxanne & tried to kill Julia like 2 weeks ago.

[@tabithagamblin5117]

I always believe that they do love each other but in a love hate way.

[@bruce8808]

@@tabithagamblin5117 This time we know they will let love prevail and not their energies on hate & resentment.

[@njpubadjuster3710]

I think Dan Curtis was trying to give closure to them as he knew the show was ending. It was very unlike Barnabas to change how he felt about Angelique considering that she caused the deaths of Josette and Roxanne and had a hand in the deaths of Jeremiah, Sarah, and Naomi.

[@mastersadvocate]

Too bad Julia doesn't trust Angelique. Angelique really loves her husband, Barnabas, and hopes that he will love her, too. The scene between her and Barnabas was very touching! I guess I'm a romantic, but I hope they can love each other! ~Janet in Canada

[@PhilAlumb]

No.

[@leonardcaplan2022]

Angelique destroyed Barnabas's original family! Makes no sense his feelings would change.

[@bruce8808]

If Gerard has Judah's powers he shouldn't have to point a gun at Julia to to go to the bookcase. He could use his powers. That is the final time for Barnabas to be a vampire. Another defeat for Gerard.

[@kelpwillhelp6248]

That would be revealing himself. He wants people to believe Quentin is the warlock.

[@marilynwillett804]

Gerard's face is frightening monstrous looking.

[@richardgarcia618]

Angelique couldn't lift the curse in 1795, so she was strangled by Barnabas before she could stake him. Angelique couldn't lift the curse in 1897, so she worked with Julia to cure Barnabas. Angelique couldn't change Barnabas back to a human being after Jeb Hawkes made Barnabas a vampire again in 1970. I love Dark Shadows. I watched the original ABC broadcasts from the first appearance of Angelique as Casandra Collins to the last episode. Ages 4-7. The 1840 storyline has never been one of my favorites since I rewatched the entire series, all 1225 episodes, as an adult. While 1840 has some good writing, the glaring continuity errors ruin it for me. The biggest continuity error is coming soon and would change the most popular DS storyline. For those who don't know, I won't spoil it.

[@jonhinson5701]

Perhaps Angelique never really WANTED to remove the curse until now when Barnabas was in immediate danger. During Leviathan she learns that Barnabas cared for Maggie so perhaps she did not want to make the way easy for him to have Maggie . Perhaps in the time between 1795 and 1840 she learned a few things and was now able to lift the curse.

[@thomasnasiatka725]

Yes - the 1995/1970/1840 arc had the most inconsistencies. It's easy to tell that they were wrapping up the show and had to tie everything together. I know the spoiler to which you refer, and it would have had far-reaching consequences had they played it out after their ending point. The Roxanne vampire story, to me, is the most inconsistent. All of this said, however, these little things are what make the show so endearing. Love it so much!

[@blackpowerdiva4958]

Yea thanks for n o t spoiling it. And yes “Holy continuity batman!” 😂😂 Gotta love it, 🤗😏

[@richardgarcia618]

@@jonhinson5701 Angelique did want to remove the curse in 1795 after she didn't die from the gun shot wound. Angelique did all she could to prevent Barnabas from becoming a vampire. After she failed, she tried to stake him to prevent him from rising as a vampire.
