Edward Collins
From The Dark Shadows Wiki
Edward Collins was the older brother to Judith Collins, Carl Collins, and Quentin Collins. He was the father to Jamison Collins and Nora Collins. He bore a startling resemblance to Joshua Collins, Daniel Collins, and Roger Collins. He was an ambitious, even greedy, man but not one without personal courage or a willingness to act in defense of his family--as seen in his attempts to hunt down a vampire.

[edit] The Death of Edith Collins and The Family Secret
Being the eldest member of the family, it was expected that his grandmother, Edith Collins would pass on to him the Collins Family secret (704), but seeing Barnabas Collins sent Edith into such a state of shock that her mind became confused and she died without ever telling Edward what the secret was (706). The only thing she would tell Edward concerning the secret was "Mausoleum". Being told that there was someone alive who did know the secret (706), Edward turned on his siblings before deciding that it must be Barnabas who knew what the secret was(707).
[edit] Involvement with Laura (Murdoch) Collins
Edward was married to Laura Collins, she was the mother of his children. She later left Collinwood with Quentin and eventually died in Alexandria, Egypt in 1896. However, she returned to Collinwood to claim her children in 1897, where she became involved in Dirk Wilkins.
Before her return to Collinwood, Edward mostly refused to discuss Laura with anyone, and insisted his children forget about her (712), (714).
