NEW - 1840 - To Save the Collins Family - Stokes Comes From 1970

[@robhaskins]

Such a fantastic show! I absolutely love all of these actors and all the characters they played. What a marvelous gift they left for us.

0:14-6:16 Julia fills Stokes in on the 1840 details 6:29-8:05 Roxanne returns to help Julia and Angelique find Barnabas (this was Donna Wandrey’s last Dark Shadows appearance)

I have barely watched this storyline. I thought I had seen them all!!

[@crencottrell7849]

I know he was never a vampire, but Stokes kinda looks like one 😅.

[@njpubadjuster3710]

He did get to play one briefly in House of Dark Shadows.

Gosh! I hope someone finds Barnabas before he dies in that bricked up alcove! Poor Barnabas!!! ~Janet in Canada

Who else would have the courage to join Julia via the stairway except my favorite professor ? I would have loved to see a scene between Angelique and Professor Stokes in 1840.

0:17 Isn’t odd that Professor Stokes, who knew all about witchcraft, the I-Ching and the concept of parallel time, was so apparently ignorant if the existence of vampires? Surely, he Stokes must have read in the “Collinsport Star,” the accounts of the strange attacks on Maggie Evans and Tom Jennings (among others). As a professor of parapsychology, wouldn’t Stokes have recognized the signs of a vampire attack, when he read about the “strange bite marks” on the throats of the victims? I think the estimable T. Elliott Stokes would have been hip to the presence of vampires in Collinsport.

@@joanngreen8747 Yes, Count Petofi was an especially loathsome individual. And, Mordecai Grimes is about as “congenial” as Attila the Hun or Alec Baldwin. By the way, don’t Mordecai and his son, Jeremy, truly resemble one another? It’s like seeing the late, great Henry Fonda and his son, Peter.

[@jonhinson5701]

​@@kensellers4082I would like to think that Stokes was on sabbatical studying talismans or some other occult subject in Italy or eastern Europe at the time Barnabas was released by Willie.

[@kensellers4082]

@@jonhinson5701 Good point, Jon. Maybe Professor Stokes was checking out that statue of Satan in Iraq, that the Jesuit exorcist, Father Lankester Merton, had uncovered or perhaps Professor Stokes was looking for a powerful talisman in Sicily?

😂😂😂😂😂😂"SILAS GRAHAM"?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 QUINTON'S YELL & CHUCKLE IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS REASON WHY HE DIDNT WANT HIM WAS PRICELESS!😂😂😂❤❤❤I LOVE QUINTON!

Samantha's situation reminds me of Sue Ellen Ewing.

[@LeoChiu229]

Julia told Prof Stokes the story about the event of how Julia got to 1840 & about the Collins family affairs history etc. Then, Julia had a dream about the ghost of Roxanne leading her where Barnabas is, but Angelique interrupted her dream. Every time Gerard visits Quentin in jail, he always keeps lying to him about how he would do anything to help him in his case. That's BULLSHIT! 😠

Judith Zachary will be revealed very soon!

[@kensellers4082]

Regarding attorney Silas Graham, the attorney Quentin did not want to defend him. Was Silas that bad as a litigator? Maybe poor Silas was the 19th century equivalent of Vinny Gambini, the modern day, inept and extremely inarticulate attorney from the film, “My Cousin Vinny”? No doubt, poor, inept Silas Graham must have graduated from the Thomas Cooley School of Law or some other equally “highly-regarded” law school.

[@kelpwillhelp6248]

Julia poisoned the well a little bit. She doesn't like Samantha, what did Samantha do to Julia. Samantha has her faults but I like her anyway.

[@BethHarmon-uv7tl]

I was sympathetic to Samantha at first, but then she became too hostile and vengeful towards Quentin. Quentin wasn't the world's greatest husband, but to testify against him because she wanted to see him beheaded, knowing the pain it would cause to Tad (regardless of whether or not Quentin was his real father), I would have a problem with that myself. She should have been thinking about Tad's feelings, especially after Tad begged her to intervene on Quentin's behalf. Instead she testified against him out of spite. I did feel bad when Samantha lost her sister and brother within a couple days of each other. And yes, I suppose Quentin was a prick not to give her a divorce and let her take Tad. Doesn't change the fact that he was no warlock and she knows this but still gave slanderous testimony against him. I suspect Julia felt the same way. She might still have a bit of sympathy for Quentin's wife but is disgusted that she would want to see him beheaded over their marital problems especially since Samantha had been married to Quentin long enough to know he was no warlock.

I HATE SAMANTHA
