I think they're best not to repeat all the stories that were told on the original DARK SHADOWS and instead introduce a later generation of the Collins family with new tales. I guess they'd want to bring back Barnabas Collins and Angelique--but I can't see any other actors taking the place of Jonathan Frid and Lara Parker in those roles. That would be like getting different actors to play Kirk and Spock--impossible.
