It's less about pop-up ghosts and screams from the basement or mausoleum, and more about backstabbing and personal agendas. I guess you could say that the Dallas DNA has taken over from Dynasty - but for how long?All these lines could have been spoken in JR's office at Ewing Oil but now it's happening in Collinsport.Two villains want Joe Haskell dead, for different reasons and they're unaware of the murderous competition.  This creates an Agatha Christie-esque scenario filled with confusion and unexpected outcomes.Not unimportantly, Dark Shadows starts showing some skin.[ATTACH=full]54658[/ATTACH]Jonathan and Grayson are seriously struggling with the script here, possibly a defective teleprompter, or maybe they didn't know how to respond to the new beefcake regime.And there's something about Eve that looks decidedly sexually-aggressive. She may be American but everything about her appearance screams Hammer Horror vixen.She also strongly disagrees with the status quo in Collinsport and has no intention whatsoever to hide her impressions.This leads to an entertainingly awkward tête-à-tête with Miss Carolyn Stoddard.With more featuring actors than usual it's been very busy days on the set of Dark Shadows, and what this soap does so well is to mix characters in the most unexpected ways.Eve is now connected with Jeff Clarke because the "Danielle" in her recognises him as Peter Bradford, and her desire to leave Collinsport and do whatever the hell she wants has changed because Danielle and Peter were lovers, I assume before   Vicky showed up.[ATTACH=full]54659[/ATTACH]Naturally, at this point in the story it was not an option for her and Adam to walk out on the series, but this new development gives it a creative twist.There is also a short confrontation between Eve and Liz and this repeats the story of Adam who "should not been seen by anyone". If Eve is determined to get Jeff/Peter then it won't be long before she's going to clash with Vicky, and now that Eve has received her first bitch-slap from Nicholas I am realistically optimistic about a catfight in the Collinwood fountain.The disc ends with the cliffhanger of Barnabas being attacked by Joe Haskell. I know Barnabas isn't going to die, but imagine the horror on Angelique's face if Joe succeeded. It would be the perfect comeuppance.Incidentally, Barnabas is trying to hide his "relationship" with Angelique from Julia, but she starts to realise that some things don't make sense. To be continued....</blockquote>
