Recording Bloodlust seemed like a logistical nightmare for Davy so I'd imagine they're waiting for recording to be done to have a news story, pictures, first casting news etc. If the TV actors are coming back again it can't be anywhere near as easy as getting other ranges recorded so I'm not surprised we can't order just yet. Won't be long, I shouldn't wonder. The 50th will keep us going before Bloodline Quote from BF DS Newspiece last year.
Then in Autumn 2016, terror will return to Collinsport in a brand-new 13-part serial - Dark Shadows: Bloodline. Written by Alan Flanagan, Will Howells, Aaron Lamont and Rob Morris, this mini-series will feature the return of the cursed Collins family, or at least those that survived the terrifying events of Dark Shadows: Bloodlust. As family and friends gather at the Collinwood estate for the wedding of David Collins and Amy Jennings, a new mystery starts to unfold…
So not released till September at the earliest meaning recording in Spring/Summer probably.
Regards

Well, I'd say most tellingly is that Rob has said here very recently - mere weeks ago -he was working on his script so it's clearly not anywhere near as far along as recording

We don't know - the royal we, since Rob and Bobod may do! - when the anniversary special is set, do we?
I was thinking on the Bloodlust relisten and the anticipation thread for Bloodlines that the 50th special has so far crept under the radar a bit since it could be really anything, set anywhere in the long history of Collinwood and star anyone.

I was kind of hoping for it to be set after the last episode and feature the the 1841PT characters. I am well aware that i am probably alone in this.

Well, since it's the 50th anniversary of the first year not the later stuff, I expect it to feature lots of talk of fountain pens and brake tampering. As well as someone drinking a "Burke Devlin Special"

The anniversary special could be a Crimson Pearl-like story covering many eras of Dark Shadows.

Maybe Harry Johnson will be the villain that's coming back for the big 50th, muhaha. Carolyn wasn't a big fan of him. Carolyn is a keen judge of character. I can't wait to hear more about this release, and just who the villain is! So, apparently this is to be "full cast 3?" I always thought Bloodlust was that, although BF never gave it that numbering scheme.

I don't mean to be a worry wart, but I'm a little disappointed that there is no mention of Dark Shadows in the February Vortex magazine (aside from the usual introduction of what Big Finish makes list). There was not even something in the release schedule in the back.
Of course, I have heard the rumors that Bloodline is currently being scripted and understand that there might not be a lot of time or much to currently report. Plus there might be some actors they are hoping to record both for the Fifth Anniversary and Bloodline. It would be a great way to have cameos from actors in one while being more prominent in another. At least, it would be great to see Dark Shadows in the release listings in the back, and maybe a teaser "advert" at the least.
Here's to hoping we get a little news in the March Vortex. I'm sure the audios will be fantastic, but I worry if there's not a lot of promotional materials that they might not pull in all the listeners they could for the 50th and Bloodline.

Also Sikverednickle, don't fret. They don't tend to place items in the release schedule at the back of Vortex until a formal announcement with the month/date has been made. We already know that Bloodline and a 50th Anniversary special are announced because we saw the news item...they were just not ready to give us definite dates at the time that this Vortex went to press.
I'm not worried.

I don't think there's much relevant to putting in Vortex at the moment, but there may be a bit of promotional material elsewhere before long.

Folks, if you missed Bobod's other thread, hes recorded a new podcast with Joe, Davy and Rob which can be heard: www.collinsporthistoricalsociety.com/2016/02/podcast-meanwhile-at-blue-whale.htmlThere's some cool chatter about the pat 6 dramatic readings, and some awesome reveals about the 50th anniversary in particular. Please give it a listen, it's as fun as the others Robert's done and will really whet your appetite for the anniversary and Bloodline.

Can't wait for Blood and Fire and hearing about a certain wedding in Collinsport in the 1760s. I certainly have my burning desire for what that will be.

Just listened to and been delighted by the podcast. It's great to hear such talented people so enthused about Dark Shadows, and ... well, I actually think the squeaking of the windblown pub sign in the background added a sinister element to the proceedings! I'm intrigued by the teasers for forthcoming projects. Suffice it to say I'm really looking forward to it all.
