TV Guide Wraps Up DARK SHADOWS' Dangling Storylines!
In October 1971, after Dark Shadows' cancellation, a wag at TV Guide put his tongue in cheek and came up with his own "what happened next" for the storylines and characters.
I actually have that article, from when I followed the show back in the day.
"a wag at TV Guide"... Um, you did read it, and realize that Sam Hall was a writer on the show itself? If I remember correctly, he was also the head writer, and married to Grayson Hall (Julia Hoffman), so his view of how things could have ended has quite an authentic ring to it.

No, Allen, I did not re-read this article in the last few years, so I missed that! Here is Hall's obit: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sam-hall-dead-dark-shadows-736560.
I was born at a very early age, in a hospital to be near my mother. After appearing in productions of both GODSPELL and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR in the 1970s, I found a wonderful wife and wrote many love songs to her, but not as many love songs as I write to God my Savior and Redeemer. We have three kids (one of each) -- wait for it -- blonde, brunette, and redhead.
