   This new series was a way for Dan Curtis to correct the past by having Victoria arrive by train as she did in the original, but this time she arrives at the point where Barnabas Collins is part of the story. Originally it took several seasons for Barnabas to be invented for the series. Victoria's story focused mostly on the job of looking after David; before the series dealt with a vampire, it was more of a dark crime thriller.
