Don‘t Mess with Angelique! Loved this character but she sure scared me when I ran home to watch DS & saw those bewitching eyes. 👀This 1st essay wasn‘t my favorite. Ballet analogy? Angelique stirred up big trouble when anyone came between her & her true love Barnabas, which made the show!Thrilled when Lara Parker wrote her riveting steamy novels but so sad when she passed last year.

rubyslippersreads I was lucky enough to meet her (along with Kathryn Leigh Scott) at a book signing when the DS movie came out. I agree the ballet analogy was a bit weak. 7mo
PurpleyPumpkin Well, this looks like fun! Don‘t think I‘ve heard of Dark Shadows before. I wonder if it‘s streamed somewhere. I‘ll have to look it up. Glad you enjoyed it!😉 7mo
rubyslippersreads @PurpleyPumpkin It‘s streaming on Freevee (Amazon Prime) and also on Tubi. Many people recommend starting with the Barnabas storyline, since that‘s when the show‘s popularity really took off. On Tubi, that‘s where it starts (episode 210). 7mo

PurpleyPumpkin Thanks @rubyslippersreads! I‘ll definitely check it out!👍🏽 7mo
MemoirsForMe @rubyslippersreads They were both so nice, weren‘t they? They really enjoyed meeting and talking to their fans. Did you ever attend the DS conventions? The one in NY always included a tour of the actual Collingwood house. I could only attend the ones in California. 7mo
MemoirsForMe @PurpleyPumpkin It‘s a very campy show, but as a kid, I couldn‘t get enough of it! It was so different than anything else back then. Will look forward to hearing what you think. 7mo
MemoirsForMe @rubyslippersreads I didn‘t realize it was on Amazon Prime! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻Thanks for the heads up. Have you been watching it? 7mo
rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme My brother and I were just watching the other day. We‘re in 1897. 7mo
rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme No, I missed the conventions. I bet they were fun. 7mo
MemoirsForMe @rubyslippersreads They were! The ones in CA were a lot smaller than NYC. There had a sit-down dinner. One cast member would sit at each table and then rotate around. They were a lot less expensive than today‘s cons. 7mo
MemoirsForMe @rubyslippersreads I must start watching with my sister. She‘s another DS groupie like I‘m sure your brother is. 😊 7mo
marleed Dark Shadows was everything! 7mo
MemoirsForMe @marleed Yes! 🙌🏻 Did you run home to watch DS too? @rubyslippersreads and a few DS fans are doing a #buddyread, so feel free to join in and share your DS stories! 🧛🏻♂️ #hometoshadows 7mo
rubyslippersreads @marleed Please join us. It‘s so much fun to discuss DS. 🦇 7mo
marleed @rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme This soap opera and the initial summer of All MyChildren are seared in my memory. It must have been before my older sisters had summer jobs but I so well remember watching both shows with them. We seldom watched TV as a group of siblings - this is my only memory of a group tv activity. I had a huge girl crush on Quentin Collins and still can‘t believe I didn‘t name my son Quentin! 7mo
MemoirsForMe @marleed I bet Quentin was a popular kid‘s name in those days! 😁 I watched DS with my sister too. We also watched the soaps (One Life to Live just before DS) because my mom and grandmother watched them all..and they wouldn‘t let us touch the remote! Quentin is a hottie, but my crush was Chris Jennings. 🥰 7mo
