Dark Shadows' Robert Rodan Is DEAD to Me!

Obituary

He was probably the hottest of all the actors on DS. So sexy.

ADAM!!!

Handsome guy

Has Susan Dey sent her condolences yet?

Manly? Yes. But Iiked him too.

That title goes to Don Briscoe.

I'm watching this for the first time and am up to season five. I damn near fell out of my chair when during the seance the lights go out and Vicky switches places with that dirty governess from 1798. This show should be mandatory watching for all DLers.

Now Adam can get his revenge on Willie for withholding chicken, because they're both in the afterlife. I'd buy a ticket to that!

He is indeed masculine. I fell hard for David Selby, but DS had a fair share of hot men.

Let.Willie.Go.

As soon as I saw this I knew we’d have the chicken scene. DL does not let me down.

Imagine that being the crowning career achievement. Really, I’d be proud. So much affection, fifty years later.

Old Sam loved this dangerous rough trade.

^ Claims of a a horrible Swedish film called The Minx where he shows his butt.

Get on it, detectives.

I need to make a nice cup of Earl Grey tea and get cozy with Dark Shadows.

I don’t think there was a gay casting couch.

It's as if someone had actively scrubbed The Minx (referenced in link at r13) and its Robert Rodan ass shot from existence. It's real, but there isn't even a trailer out there anymore.

I think it was shot as softcore and then hardcore ended up spliced in. I don't think RR was a part of the latter, but it looks as if we'll never know.

I never knew that Geoffrey Scott was on Dark Shadows. I do remember him and the mustache from Dynasty. Sort of a shadow of Lee Horsley. But still hairy-hot.

Diana Millay and Chris Pennock also just died.

With a face like that you know he had bull balls and a beer can cock.

Diana Millay and The Phoenix never got proper love from the masses.

Damn, every living being that was ever on Dark Shadows (and hadn't already died) has died in the last few months.

Hardly. Still alive:

David Selby (Quentin)

Alexandra Isles (Victoria)

Lara Parker (Angelique)

Kathryn Leigh Scott (Josette)

David Henesy (David Collins)

Kate Jackson (Daphne)

Jerry Lacy (Rev. Trask)

Mitchell Ryan (Burke Devlin)

James Storm (Gerard)

Donna McKechnie (yes, THAT one!) (Amanda)

And there are more...

Oh, for a minute there I was afraid it was...

Mitch Ryan has to be 100 if a day. He was on Miss Locher's DS reunion a few months back, and he saying he looked like the crypt keeper would be generous. Lara Parker must've made a pact with the devil (or Nicholas Blair lol), because she doesn't seem to age.

Lantern-jawed Mitch Ryan was hot in Dark Shadows. He seemed like he’d throw a hard, angry fuck at any given moment.

Rather astonishing he’s one of the last men standing from the show he was fired from almost 55 years ago for his out of control alcoholism.

Almost cartoonish...

Mitch Ryan is 87 and he got sober fairly soon after being fired from Dark Shadows. He said that was more or less his rock bottom, if I recall correctly.

By the way, Rock Bottom is a great porn star name.

Any comments from Mothra or King Ghidorah?

^ Don’t hold your breath.

Mothra is the Susan Dey of giant monsters.

Has Betsy Durkin issued a statement yet?

In top photo is looks like George Reinholt.

"Victoria Winters finds herself a stranger in a sea of familiar faces. . . "

I love the brief pause with “somehow” at about :54.

How Adam kept Barnabas non-vampiric was really a murky plot point.

Forgot the link.

He's still dead?

I thought that Dr. Lang would've brought him back by now.

Rodan? The pterodactyl that terrorized Tokyo?

Dr. Laing was a perv. If you couldn't figure out he a sadist, forcing Jeff (I think it was) as his plaything...

I'm watching the full series now (Amazon, then Tubi for later seasons) and Don Briscoe has just shown up. Very handsome and probably family. I was curious so I googled him to see what he did after DS. Turns out, not much and sadly he did not age well at all. He died at the age of 64 on Halloween in 2004.

Was he family?

WHET Became of Lee Horsley by the way?
