Bartender at the Blue Whale in Collinsport, 1968. Pouring drinks, playing the jukebox & puffing on my stogie. I've seen some things. #DarkShadows

Roger dryly quips, "If Liz says so, it must be true." Yes, Victoria, there is a ghost -- though we won't find that out for quite a bit. In the meantime, it's just Roger smarm all the way. And I'm here for it! 🥃

Brandy is only Roger's poison of choice. The official drink of Collinwood really is tea.

Joe would later give the nickname of "Punchy" to yours truly but I honestly think it fits him better. Joe incites a good ol' bar brawl. Burke breaks it up and declares he's going to paddle someone. Everyone in the bar looks at Burke like they might want it to be them...and who could blame 'em?

Establishing Collinwood as the giant of the town right off the bat by declaring it to have 40 rooms. The conversation and the camera angles also set the tone for the house itself to be a main character in the show.

Stingers for the both of us!
(Actually on the 4th of July I was digging a grave. I wish that was a role play bit but in reality my vacation was taking care of my senior dog at the end of her life. But I will get a real vacation next week when I go to the Dark Shadows Meet n Greet in Tarrytown!)

"Blackbird" by Billy Preston, 1972
Err, this one must have fallen through one of those time staircases.
But seriously, I choose this one (despite it's 70s-ness) because it's the perfect song both for Preston's life and for June. Happy Pride, everyone!

This woman on the train proving there are no small parts. "I've been livin' in this paht of the country all my life and I've only been to Collinport once. Just once! That was more than enough for me." The Big Finish story I really want is what happened to this woman when she went to Collinsport. 🤨
