And since everyone did two stories, that'd be their day in the studio just doing them.

My main problem is, the more of the short story readings they release that are set after this miniseries that hasn't happened, the less impact the actual events will have, because we'll at least know the fallout of everything that happened, who survived, what relationships changed, who's not actually married, who's no longer in town, who now is in town, etc. That David proposing to Amy teaser really has lost all value since we now have an anthology story with Amy in Paris set after Bloodline where she's already moved on and found a new guy to take to bed. We haven't really learned anything totally new though, have we? Other than that Cyrus and Sabrina have come to town. We knew from Bloodlust that Maggie had left town, and we know from Return to Collinwood that she's not based at the inn any more. (And based on what else we know from Return to Collinwood, I'd be worried if I were Lela...)

But we already knew - before we even heard that proposal - that David and Amy wouldn't be together by the time of Return to Collinwood. My reaction to first hearing that trailer was 'well that's not going to go well'.
The short stories were recorded after it was known that those stories would 'air' before Bloodline. Davy and Joe had time to discuss and decide what rewrites might be needed to avoid giving away things and what could serve as teasers for Bloodline. They weren't stuck with spoilery stories already recorded that gave away secrets they wanted to keep.

I dunno, maybe they should never put Bloodline out, and just keep cruelly stringing us along without announcing further developments. Just look at all the suspense that Bloodline has already provided us with and nobody's even gotten to pay for it yet - is that a bargain or what? ;-) To be fair, I'd already taken it for granted that the marriage in Bloodline is doomed given that in Return To Collinwood, David appears to be at liberty to aspire to involvement with others, and so far, Big Finish seems to be respecting the events of RTC as if canon. It would/will? be thrilling though to find out more about exactly how David & Amy's marriage went down in flames. For one thing, I'd really have though they'd have worked out - and for another, knowing Collinwood there'll probably be a hoard of zombies crashing the reception, minimum. :-) Not a release to be missed, I'm sure.

Even just that recording is underway would be something. This is Graceless Series 4, Charlotte Pollard Series 2 level of waiting. At least those two had product pages. And I'd love to hear more of John Karlen and Marie Wallace as Willie and Jessica. They're so wonderful together and Willie being happy is something he deserves. He's lost one woman already back in the TV show.

Going out in Stiles. Who will wave the green flag three times out of the tower window?

Amy will invite Sabrina and Cyrus to the wedding, but Sabrina will do something to drive a wedge between them again, leading them even further estranged then in Deliever Us Evil. And John will be at play in the madness of the wedding.....

Eh, it's a MASSIVE undertaking for Big Finish, so I can't really blame for wanting to give us some mommentum when trying to do the impossible. Bloodline and Bloodlust are completly different beasts to the Doctor Who releases, even the revival releases and trying to co-ordinate and record THAT large cast is a ganguant task. For me, the teasers were handled with a very deft hand.

Just the Basement? Stay out of the whole blooming town Oh, I'm talking about the actual Dark Lord. Bloodline looks to be the most madcap Dark Shadows tale EVER told by Big Finish and if Cyrus and Sabrina are involved, John can't be too far behind. Given that it's a story around a wedding, I imagine Big Finish isn't going to be doing anything by halves.

John is never mentioned, so either Cyrus handles the possessed Alfie or he's gone by then. I wouldn't be surprised if Cyrus kills him just to be rid of him, since when John was in Cyrus he couldn't kill Cyrus without killing himself.

Yes but who is the best man? Tom maybe. He's Amy's flesh and blood plus the idea of him organising a bachelor party for David is adorable. Quentin is another option, since he sired Amy's bloodline.

I don't think Cyrus could ever kill John, he's far too gentle and soft, even after everything and trying to 'reform' and 'redeem' John. Sabrina, on the otherhand, would descend further into the darkness for Cyrus.

Personally, I don't mind the occasional post Bloodline snippets. Knowing the writers, they will find a way to make things not quite as straight-forward as it seems. Let's not forget the roller coasters the original series put us through even while keeping most of the 1795 storyline results intact on the other side (we can ignore the many other revisits because who knows how many headaches that will induce).
I'm loving all this speculation. Let's not forget that Hallie is still around at the end of Tainted Love or maybe Laura will try to reclaim her son as he starts to realize his phoenix being powers. Weddings in soaps are always about bringing back all the family and old flings and as much drama as possible.
