the story of nearly every soap is a series of peaks and valleys, a story will get RED HOT and sometimes they resolve it right and sometimes they don't [edit- sometimes they don't resolve it at all], and sometimes the show ends up going off the rails (hopefully to recover, although not always, as was the case with SANTA BARBARA or ANOTHER WORLD after 1992)

one thing i will give the ADAM STORYLINE credit for: I genuinely believe the writers caught ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN at a revival house and decided to work out the oft-asked question of just what in the Hell it was BELA LUGOSI'S Dracula wanted THE FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER for exactly later on that night...

I was intent of backing off of DARK SHADOWS, but I recently stumbled upon a "hot pocket" in the storyline where things come together and it gets good- VICTORIA has returned from being hanged (how ****ing HARDCORE is that by the way??, if they had wanted to make ALEXANDRA MOLTKE happy, they should have had her play the role as WEDNESDAY ADDAMS)), PROF STOKES has stepped into the lead role, ramifications of the past are worked SO CLEVERLY INTO THE STORYLINE!!! (Especially the return of REV. TRASK and his REVENGE ON BARANABAS!) and PROF STOKES feeling a link with BEN STOKES and finishing a letter he has written- I daresay THAYER DAVID was the best (male) actor on the show, i know JOHN KARLEN is good, but he is taxing to watch sometimes. THATER DAVID (working his CHARLES COBURN MONOCLE) 100% understands the kind of performance he needs to give as PROF STOKES, and he nails it (which wakes STOKES'S rather spotty success rate as a paranormal researcher all the more amusing.) I ALSO DON'T MIND the dream curse storyline, I know some of you said you hated it....of course, i have benefitted from being able to pick and chose my storylines, it's not like i have to watch in one a day installments. I have largely sidestepped THE ADAM STORYLINE and yet, at this point, I am bemused by it.

from imdb: Bela Lugosi's character name "Legendre" means "the son-in-law" (Le gendre) in French. It however, in no way, shape or form translates to "legend" in French, contrary to uninformed assumptions. Simply "son-in-law", and nothing else. Not once is Bela Lugosi's character name "Murder Legendre" pronounced by anyone at any moment in the film. Nor does the character name appear onscreen once---in the credits nor otherwise.
