Hey BF folks, I have a question about ordering Bloodline. Just to be clear, these forums are not run by or affiliated with Big Finish in any way. We’re an independent, fan-run site that has no inside information or insight. There are a handful of Big Finish folks who pop in here to chat with us from time to time, but otherwise, we’re all just giant fans, not employees

Hey BF folks, I have a question about ordering Bloodline. When Bloodlust came out, you could order the CD sets and get the new episodes as they were released online, all for one price. On your website that option doesn't seem to be offered for Bloodline. Do we have to purchase a downloaded version and a CD version separately? Downloads come automatically with CD purchases of all new Big Finishes.

Aaaand it looks like Big Finish just spoke to this very question:

Who are people most excited for returning from Bloodlust? Returning other parts of Dark Shadows? New characters? From Bloodlust, I'm most excited for Jackie's return. She's been sprinkled throughout the post Bloodlust audios and I can't wait to hear how this narrative connects to those. Outside of Bloodlust, I'm excited to read that Cryus and Sabrina are coming. I wonder who's watching John and if that will prove important during the wedding. With the new characters, I can't wait to hear what new role Jerry Lacey has taken on. He seems to really enjoy Dark Shadows and has made some memorable roles over the years.

Well, well, well, is that a Julia Hoffman I see? Dunno if it looks like her, but it does kind of sound like her, doesn't it? {Spoiler}"Once again, the tortured vampire, Barnabas Collins, is amongst them. But this time he is not alone. After so many years away, Doctor Julia Hoffman has returned with him, finally convinced she has the means to cure his affliction." HUGE news!

One daft, silly little miscellaneous hope I have for Bloodline? That doesn't even have anything to do with plot or characters or writing or music or anything substantive regarding the content of the release itself?
I really hope whoever is assembling the final product for the BF App actually makes the effort to make the episodes individually selectable. From a purely technical/user-friendliness POV, it was such a pain in the ass with Bloodlust that it was just a single 3+ hour block for each Volume/that there was no easy way to just restart the episode that you're on without having to use the cumbersome skip back button or (gods forbid) try to drag-scroll to the right spot in the playback bar. I just really hope it's done better this time around.

I just relistened to Bloodlust on the app on my phone, there was a white square in the bottom right, if you click it a box comes up with all the episodes listed, you can restart each one separately. You can then scroll within just that episode for the exact minute you want. Maybe the app didn't have this feature last time? I used my computer before.

It's always had it when on an iPhone, but I'm not sure about on Android.

Excellent tip, I’ve been into that in the occasional other release and found nothing anywhere near so useful so I never look at it anymore. Thank you for pointing it out! ...would still like it to have a ‘main menu’ of episodes (like UNIT or Gallifrey or any of the other box set releases) though ;P

I have a newer LG phone, the one I had before was not even compatible with BF app

I just find it difficult to believe that more people aren't taking about the return of the Doctor to Collinwood.

I just find it difficult to believe that more people aren't taking about the return of the Doctor to Collinwood. For me, it’s because I haven’t wanted to speculate on it! We don’t know what form a “return” is going to take. No one has said the role is being recast (unless I’ve missed something), so as far as we know, Julia has always been a part of the audios! She’s been frequently mentioned, and has even made a few appearances over the years—voiced by Colin Baker, Kathryn Leigh Scott, perhaps others I’m not recalling offhand, and even Grayson Hall herself in “The Curse of Shurafa”.

True but I suppose we will know soon enough. I have high hopes it is a recast though. I have total faith in Lidster & Darlington to get it right.

At the end of Bloodlust, Barnabas was about to tell Carolyn "something about Julia" during the photo-shoot scene. It was interrupted, so maybe they were platting the seeds last time for her glorious return as...
Also Dark Shadows/ Big Finish fans, who is the blonde in the top right corner of the Bloodline CD artwork? I initially thought it might be Kathleen Cody (Hallie Stokes), but on closer inspection on a computer screen (versus a tiny smartphone), I don't think it's she. Probably nothing too spoilery, but I'm nosy.

That’s Susan Sullivan as Lela. (assuming you actually mean “top left” for the viewer. It’s “top right” only if they’re looking back at us!) 😆

Anyone else see the 'Barnabas' trailer put out? Interesting 'recast' for Julia, though I'm calling it now it's probably not Julia.

Could someone kindly share a link for this Barnabas trailer? All I seem to be able to find with Google is the proposal trailer with David and Amy.
