Joe Haskell

From The Dark Shadows Wiki

Joe Haskell worked for the Collins Fishing Fleet, under the management of Bill Malloy, first as a fisherman, then a checker.

[edit] Relationships

Joe met Carolyn Stoddard when they were kids and they eventually became sweethearts. The first time he ever went up to Collinwood, he was scared that there'd be a spook in every corner (14). Joe gave Carolyn a wrist watch for her sixteenth birthday (50).

By 1967, Joe was the man Elizabeth Collins Stoddard wanted Carolyn to marry, despite Carolyn's uncertainty (2). Carolyn wanted to leave Collinwood, but was afraid to leave her mother (8). Joe blamed Mrs. Stoddard for Carolyn's unwillingness to marry him. He figured that Carolyn saw the results of her mother's marriage and didn't want to go through that herself (33).

[edit] Business aspirations

Joe's dream was to own his own fishing fleet. In 1967, he was saving up his money to buy his first boat and was $2375 away from putting a downpayment at the time Burke Devlin returned to town (3). He soon got promoted from fisherman to checker at an increased wage of $25 a week, enabling him to save money faster (8).

Co-worker Jerry Gerse shared Joe's same goal and the two decided to pool their money to more quickly purchase a boat, however Jerry's wife soon became pregnant and he had to back out of the deal, due to the unexpected expense (24, 33).

[edit] Life

As a child, Joe enjoyed spending his days helping his uncle out on their family farm (215).

The farthest Joe had ever been from Collinsport was Boston (3).

Joe's favorite drink was bourbon (225/226).

Joe had the same blood type as Maggie Evans, Type-A.
