Dave Woodard

From The Dark Shadows Wiki

Dave Woodard was a general practitioner of medicine in Collinsport, Maine in the late 1960s. He was also an accomplished surgeon (231).

In 1967, he was called upon to analyze a strange blood deficiency that had been affecting various people in Collinsport. He first treated Willie Loomis for acute blood loss and noticed that Willie suffered from two pinprick puncture wounds on the underside of his wrist (219).

Later, he began treating Maggie Evans, who had been exhibiting similar symptoms (229-231). He tried to stop it with a transfusion from Joe Haskell, but Maggie was kidnapped by Barnabas Collins and presumed dead by most. When Maggie was found by her father, Dr. Woodard concocted a plan to hide Maggie at the Windcliff Sanitarium under the treatment of his old friend and colleague, Dr. Julia Hoffman.

After discovering Barnabas Collin's vampire secret he is murdered with a type of medicine that disguises his death as a heart attack.
