1970pt

[Sean Snow]

Leviathans has come to a close. Now it's time for 1970PT. In this thread, we can talk about our thoughts, etc about this storyline. *giggles* Yeah uh werm.

So far it seems very interesting. The characters so far have been great. I like how Carolyn Loomis is so different from the Carolyn of our timeband. I loved the ending of today's second episode, where Amy reveals it wasn't her singing. The entire Maggie-haunted-by-the-memory-of-Angelique thing is great, imo.

I like the portrait of Angelique. It is much better than the one they used to introduce Cassandra Collins in 1968. I also like the melody they use in the scenes set in Angelique's bedroom.

Tomorrow, Alexis Stokes arrives at Collinwood. Yayness. The first episode tomorrow was originally aired on April 2, 1970 - exactly one year before the show's last episode aired.

Does Barnabas have to be a vampire every time he goes to a different time? Every thing was so expected today.

Well, he can't escape it by going into another time band because he's still the same Barnabas - nothing has changed. And whenever he goes into the past, he has to be a vampire because he was a vampire in 1897 and 1840 originally.

I love this storyline so far. Everything is so bright and pretty. ^-^ lol. Tomorrow is Kathryn Leigh Scott and Grayson Hall's last episode until like #1011 or so. *le sigh*

Kathryn's character is important to this storyline so far. Is it because of the movie HODS she is not going to appear until episode #1011? I remember you said they were filming the movie during this storyline.

Yep. It's because of HODS. Since she has a vital role in the movie, she had more off time than some of the others. Her disappearance from the storyline is explained very well.

Maggie is...wermish...so far. If I were her, I would've told Hoffman off and gotten her fired. And I would tell hubby Quentin to go take some anger management classes.

EDITED: Grayson is gone until #1011, and Kathryn Leigh Scott is gone until #1016. I got my numbers mixed up.

[Sean Snow]

Ahh! I accidently set my timer tape thing for SoapNet instead of Sci Fi today, so I got stuck with Port Charles and SoapCenter. *screams* Why do I miss the episodes I want to see? First I miss the arrival of Suki Forbes in 1795, then the end of 1897, and now the arrival of Alexis Stokes. *le sigh*

[bry]

as for barnabas, with until the last storyline of 1840PT. he is bramwell instead of barnabas though.

I liked Suki. *shrug* It's too bad they never brought her back in another role. I really liked her interaction with Nathan and Millicent.

Yeah, I know about the Barnabas/Bramwell thing. I'm still looking forward to 1841PT though, especially the last episode since that's the last episode of the whole series.

[bry]

the 1841 story is may fav beside the head of judah zachary storyline.

I also enjoy "Ode to Angelique." And boy, if I were Maggie. I would be running the show at Collinwood. It would been like "Look, Hoffman, I don't know why you are acting like such a bitch to me, but you had better stop it before I open a can of whoopass. Do you understand me?" I kinda find Bruno's last name funny....Bruno Hess. Not as funny as his hair though. Does he ever go back to regular hair? Gawd I hope so. I wonder if the producers made Stroka do his hair like that....

Maggie needs to stand up for herself and she needs to stop acting like a nitwit. Maggie has no backbone whatsoever. If I were her, I would have had Hoffman fired and I would've also had a talk with Quentin over his anger management problem.

His hair goes back to 'normal' in the 1840 storyline, which is the next storyline he appears in (he's not in the storyline after 1970PT). It's also his last storyline on the show. He plays Laszlo Ferrari in that time period.

I think the bunny is the new star. ^-^

LOL. I like how they have real animals in Cyrus' lab. DS has been great. I'm so glad the Leviathan storyline is over.

Bruno and Sabrina have the ugliest hair on the show...Cyrus isn't that far behind. Bruno...how many cans of hairspray did they use on his hair? Sabrina's wig is SO ugly. I don't see why they made her wear a wig in the first place since her hair looked nice the one time they showed it in a flashback during early 1969. Cyrus needs a comb. Badly. -_-

I'm not. When that storyline started it was new and never been done before. 1970PT is blah imo. Maybe it will get better in time.

*shrug* I liked Leviathan when it started, but in the middle of the storyline it went sour IMO. It could've been good, but the writers messed up and rewrote too much stuff. First only the werewolf can kill Jeb. And then as a side note, they add drowning to the list of what-can-kill-Jeb.

1970PT, in my opinion, is pretty interesting and mysterious. I love the 'what happened to Angelique?' and 'are Angelique and Alexis the same person?' I also like the entire Cyrus thing, even though Sabrina is annoying. And I know you like Barnabas, but I like how they're focusing on other actors/actresses like Lara Parker and David Selby.

I can't wait for Friday's episodes. One of the scenes in the episodes of that day is considered by a lot of people as pretty chilling. ^-^

[Pitooey]

These episodes are one of my favorites. Sabrina is boring but, I do like Cyrus. It will be getting real good soon.

As far as those dreadful hair and wigs. All I can say is Agghhh.......... :eek:

[Pitooey]

The ending was good today!

[Mistress Slap]

The bunny was on again. ^_____^


I like this storyline a lot more than the last one. It was hard for me to sit through an episode when Jeb was on. Now I think things are more interesting but thats just my opinion. -.-

Yeah I agree. I don't mind Cyrus - he's not my favorite, but he's DEFINATELY not my least favorite. I can't say the same for Jebez.

I liked today's episodes. ^_^ Denise Nickerson, David Selby, and Jerry Lacy were all great in them. I know some people on here don't like Denise's acting that much, but I think she was a very gifted child actress. -_- I like having Trask as the butler. It's definately a big change from the previous Trasks we've seen.

[Sean Snow]

Did anyone else like the scenes in #1000 and #1001 in which Angelique comes back to life? Poor Alexis! I liked how they showed them at the same time. If I were Alexis, I would've run out of there the moment she woke up... *shrug* Silly soap opera people. They always have to know everything that's going on and end up dead. -_-

[Sean Snow]

DS has gotten better with the return of the cast members who were off shooting the movie. I can't wait until the Cyrus Longworth/John Yaeger plot is finished. There's something about it that I don't like. *Shrug* But that's just about the only thing I don't like about this storyline.

[Christopher]

Is that the end of this story? Barnabas went back to his own time, is that it?

I haven't seen today's episodes except the last scene where he goes back to his own time, but it isn't the end of the 1970PT storyline. It continues for (I believe) 29 more episodes.

[Sean Snow]

I liked the beginning of today's first episode (#1036) with Dr. Julia Hoffman killing Hoffman. I'll miss Hoffman though - I liked how she would taunt Maggie in various ways.

I can't say that I miss Cyrus Longworth/John Yaeger and Sabrina Stuart. I thought Cyrus was boring and that John got boring after awhile. I've never liked Lisa Richards on the show and I didn't think she was a good actress on DS, so I didn't mind her leaving.

[Christopher]

Well I ruined the upcoming episodes for myself. :lol: I know who the killer is and you know almost everyone in this storyline is killed! :eek:

LOL. I remember reading all the episode guide entries at the darkshadows.com site for this storyline. I can't wait until all the killing start happening.

Maggie and Quentin are so annoying in PT. Maggie never sticks up for herself. By now, I would've gotten into the most expensive car on the estate, taken a lot of money, and rode off into the night and then phoned, demanding a divorce.

Quentin is always throwing a tantrum and always treats Maggie like a child. They are both sooo unlikeable.

[Sean Snow]

Today's episodes, like the ones before it, were great. I sorta like not having Maggie/Quentin around. It gives the other characters a chance to be the 'stars' of the action.

It's too bad Carolyn died today. She was one of my favorite characters in the storyline, and I felt sorry that her husband died. Nancy Barrett is a great actress.

Today's second episode [#1049] was the last appearance of Denise Nickerson. It's too bad she had to leave to do Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. She's better than the other younger actresses that were on the show (Sharon Smyth and Kathy Cody), IMO at least.

[Sean Snow]

Even though no one else has posted anything else since last week in this topic, I thought I may as well say something. ^-^

EVERYONE is dying. Who's left?! The only ones I can think of are Angelique, Maggie, Quentin, Julia, and Barnabas. And Trask, Amy, Chris, and Daniel - but we don't see them again before the end of the storyline.

I'm having trouble keeping track of who dies. *thinks* There's been:

Alexis Stokes
Horace Gladstone
Wilfred Block
Larry Chase
Aldon Wicks
Sabrina Stuart
Cyrus Longworth/John Yaeger
Julia Hoffman
Bruno Hess
William H. Loomis
Carolyn Stoddard Loomis
Elizabeth Collins Stoddard
Roger Collins

And then one or two more people die I think before the last episode of this storyline. *shrugs*

I'm not going to vacation to Collinwood anytime soon:):lol:
