My thoughts on BBC's Dracula...
They also never properly explained how all his weaknesses tie into one. It was a shit explanation in general and how does his fear of death tie into being unable to enter houses? More on reddit.com

July 4, 2024 - She was 18 when she discovered the man she had thought was her stepfather – comic actor John Wells – was actually her biological father. “I was the only child of my mum and dad. My other five siblings have a different father [Edward Gatacre] and I’d been brought up with his name. I didn’t want to be disloyal [by changing it] but I thought in the arena of acting it wouldn’t matter because he doesn’t really watch telly. Dolly Wells is my actual name, and it’s much simpler and shorter than Dolly Gatacre – and it was a nice way of making it all OK.”
