[QUOTE="Oh!Carol Christmasson, post: 411143, member: 8"] Even when you consider that there's a companion in the making, Adam's story arc has reached a soapy impasse. And it looks like that next "New Person" storyline is going to be brutally hijacked by Nicholas and Angelique therefore I'm not sure if Adam is getting any out of it. Which makes it quite remarkable that he's still the most fascinating character to watch, and I think that has a lot to do with Robert Rodan, the actor who plays him. It's no longer about "friend!" "food!" and "hurt!", no, Adam plays chess and gives Carolyn advice based on his findings in Freud. But there are lots of nuances that makes us remember that he used to be the traditional Frankenstein creature, and it often looks better than necessary for Dark Shadows. And to prove - once again - that Dynasty is connected with everything: Adam created by Barnabas/Blake, rejected by Barnabas/Blake, the transformation from primitive/hicksville to educated/sophisticated, obsessed with Carolyn/Kirby (there's a rather insinuating conversation about Carolyn's scarf: "I kept it, and sometimes I look at it") and if Dark Shadows didn't already have a lawyer (Tony) then I'm sure Adam would become one. Although he did attack Tony so maybe he [I]was [/I] after his job. Btw, Robert Rodan doesn't hold back when he has to shove another Dark Shadows actor. Forum member Alexis once said, [I]Jeff is a**hole[/I], well, Dark Shadows' Jeff C. really [I]has[/I] become an a**hole. He was a great guy as Vicky's jailer Peter Bradford but now he's constantly shrill and agitated, and particularly vicious towards Adam. But this is good because he also brings out the worst in other characters. Nevertheless, it's a surprising journey. Elizabeth Stoddard Collins is still suffering from Angelique's spell, and she's worried to death about worrying about death. Meanwhile, Barnabas has already been buried alive[I] twice[/I] (and trice, if you count the beginning) and he looks healthier than ever. This storyline doesn't kick ass, imo. There's a new character who kinda looks like Nicolas Cage, he acts as the meals on wheels for Adam now that Willie Loomis is doing....something else.
