this is going to be fun

I’m going to write something about the new Avengers movie, but first I have to geek out for a moment (even more than I would in writing about the Avengers).

As I’ve talked about before, I’m a big fan of the Dark Shadows audio dramas from Big Finish Productions. I’d just finished a wonderful miniseries called Bloodlust (terrific extended story with a very large cast — mostly younger actors with a few key members of the original cast).

When I was got to the end, I went to the Big Finish website to see what was coming next, and I saw this.

David Selby was from the original cast of the TV show, where he played several characters named Quentin Collins. He’s been part of the audio dramas since the beginning. But Susan Sullivan, his costar in this story, had nothing to do with Dark Shadows.

But after Dark Shadows, Selby went on to star for many years on a nighttime soap called Falcon Crest, where his character, named Richard Channing, was friends with, and later fell in love with, and even later married a woman named Maggie Gioberti. Played by Susan Sullivan.

I was a devoted Falcon Crest fan (partly because of Selby and partly because it was so far over the top — Falcon Crest was the show for people who thought Dallas was too low key and realistic).

This is going to be fun.

 
(I’ve realized that that I have a surprising number of half-finished blog posts lying around. I’m planning to finish and post them over the next few days.)
