After the first appearance of Jonathan Frid as Barnabas Collins in episode 210, there are only 77 episodes (out of over a thousand) with no cast members who appeared in any of the episodes prior to 210. The first is 480 (over a year after Barnabas' debut) and the last is 1232. These episodes occur with greater frequency over time, with the first 28 spanning a period of almost two years, from 480 to 978, and the remaining 49 from the show's final year, beginning with 986. Contributing factors are the constant addition of new characters played by new cast members, combined with the limited number of cast members who can appear in an episode (usually five); the ever-diminishing significance of Collins family members not named Barnabas or Quentin; the departures of Alexandra Moltke, Kathryn Leigh Scott, Joel Crothers, Mitch Ryan and David Ford; and a period when most of the cast was absent from the show during the filming of House of Dark Shadows.
