How about Virginia Vestoff as Ben Stokes? Let's make it the 1795 Ben so she can keep her head!  Next up is Thayer David.

I was going to say Ben Stokes... but I had it in my Head that we were supposed to keep within the same year/storyline, so I thought, 1940 old Ben.  Actually, what I first thought was VV playing the Headless Body, but that may not be permissible.

Magnus, you can choose anybody from any storyline.  So...Ben or old Ben?  I can't remember a headless body, but maybe you meant bodiless head.  Which of the three?  If we don't hear back from you in a day or two, I'll throw a dart and choose.

Uncy Rog said young (middle-aged?) Ben, before I turned up.   In 1840 we saw Judah Zachery's reanimated headless body stumbling around for a couple episodes, thanks to Julia.

Oops, I didn't notice there was more than one post.  Anyway, recasting Thayer David will be fun.

I had some trouble with Thayer David.  I thought of him as Professor Stokes, and I thought, for a nice contrast, we could have him play Count Petofi.  Oh wait...  Well, how about Quentin?  No, he's done that, too, and quite honestly, I thought it was his least fine hour on Dark Shadows.  So maybe Thayer David isn't so good at stepping into other people's roles.  Dear me.  But, thinking further along the villain lines, how about Jeb Hawkes?  Hmm...Jeb's been done, and while I know that I specified in my very own rules for this game that roles could be recast an infinite number of times, I'd still like to see if we can't find something fresh and new.  Nicholas Blair?  No, a little too much like Count Petofi.  And I remember Chris Pennock talking in the interview on one of the DVDs about how good an actor Thayer David was, so I think I'd like to give Thayer David one of Pennock's roles.  It would be fun to see Thayer David handling a wheelchair, so I'm going for...(drum-roll, please)...Gabriel Collins, from our-time 1840.

And now, can we have another role for Chris Pennock?

Inspired casting, Lydia! Chris Pennock presented a challenge as well. His Andrea True impression ("More More More") led me to a character where Chris' acting quirks would be a good fit: Abigail Collins. Which brings us to Clarice Blackburn.

David Ford as Suki Forbes!  :o

Grayson Hall as Aristede!  [thumbleft]

Michael Stroka as Samantha Collins!  [lghy]  (All I can picture is him with that hairdo!!)

Chris Pennock as Abigail Collins!  [thumb]


But getting back to the game, and given Mrs. Johnson's connection to the character, I'd love to see Clarice Blackburn play Mitch Ryan's Burke Devlin.  [ghost_wink]

So that means Mitch Ryan needs a role...

Mitch Ryan as Dr. Julia Hoffman, the best man for the job.

Drag Shadows?

 [laughing4]  I can just picture his take on the scenes of yearning over Barnabas!

And that means that already Grayson Hall needs another new role...

We've gotten a little tangled here.  The thread as I see it is:

MB cast Clarice Blackburn as Mitchell Ryan's Burke Devlin.

David-Elijah cast Mitchell Ryan as Dr. Julia Hoffman.

I'm going to disqualify David-Elijah's casting of Grayson Hall as Burke Devlin because, according to a new rule I just made up and am applying retroactively, you can't cast two people in a row.  And since Mitchell Ryan and Clarice Blackburn had already been re-cast, David-Elijah's second re-castings for them are discarded.

That leaves us, as MB previously noted, with Grayson Hall needing another new role.  She's a busy lady!

I'll take a shot at it and recast Grayson as Gerard Stiles. I can just picture her doing that sneer. And glaring menacingly, of course.

That leaves James Storm needing a new character.

I wanted to pick Magda for James Storm, but that would lead back to The Divine One yet again.  Then I thought of Sandor, but that would lead back to Thayer David yet again.

So, how about James Storm as Nathan Forbes?

This leaves us the task of finding a new role for Joel Crothers.
