Something was missing a spark I'll say when our wide eyed innocent governess left the show.

I totally agree. It's funny, because Alexandra Moltke was by no means a great actress, but she had a quality that was just right as the confused ingénue heroine. I know she left when she realized that Vickie was no longer going to be the center of the show, but they should have given her a great exit, instead of having the character peter out with two bad replacement actresses.

:lol:

Alexandra tends to be wooden performer but she does have this quirkiness to her and of course she was a countess in real life. I loved following her mysterious storyline and her chemistry with Burke Devlin. She was definitely the main focus of Dark Shadows in the early years.

I so cannot wait to see the poor man Vickies. I watched the pre-Barnabas episodes and enjoyed them immensely. I then skipped over to the 1897 storyline to see what Quentin was all about. To be honest, I just can't click with the whole storyline. I'm dragging my heels to finish it. I also was amused to see Katherine Leigh Scott morph into a Vickie-like character.

Utter fabulousness to see sweet & innocent Vickie aka Miss Winters again after ditching the 1897 storyline(for now).
