After he drove away, Gene closed the door and turned to me, and I will quote him exactly. He said, 'I won't have him.'" Roddenberry himself noted, "My first reaction was, 'Jesus Christ, Bob, I don't want a bald man.'"

Episode 383: Between men now
In 1966 and the early weeks of 1967, the Collinsport Inn was an important place on Dark Shadows.
