Fire the dialect coach then tell Billie to talk in her normal voice and you'd have a fine bit of Victoriana going on. No, they were idiots and had her try on a wretched "Irish" accent. It's ghastly. My show watching friends and I were howling with laughter when she was introduced and then cringing every time she opened her yap.

Lord she's bad, so drat bad. Please please please find some way to soften it or give her no more lines. It's just dreadful.

Everyone else has been fine, can't wait for the next episode. MORE SIGNIFICANT GLANCES AHOY!

The only chance I see of them getting rid of her accent is if Dorian Grey goes all Pigmalion on her rear end or if she gets bride of frankenstein'd (and we already have the flamboyant doctor/scholar!)

Mister Proteus was not the first person re-animated by Frankenstein (the new character calls himself Frankenstein's "firstborn").
He's the creature from the book. Also, nice touch on having his appearance be based on Bernie Wrightson's illustrations

Given that Dorian got all turned on by the Lucky Charms Leprechaun coughing up blood I'm guessing he's Dracula?
Nah, he said something like "I've never hosed something that's dying before". He just the rich-inmortal-bored archetype

It's sad, but that's really more interesting than being a werewolf -.-

True enough, but it was something pretty clearly he was enormously reluctant to do - when he took the medal in the first place he obviously didn't want to do it, and through this episode he'd almost rather shoot her to death rather than do the exorcism thing. I expect that will be justified more in future episodes.

He turns into a priest with the full moon.

Yes, but I'm talking about people who haven't seen the show. Convincing them to watch something called "Penny Dreadful" is not the easiest sell.

"It's got James Bond shanking an egyptian vampire in the first episode" it's a pretty easy sell though.

What other horror characters/stories would you guys like to see in the show?
The Gillman is my favorite Universal monster but asides from a freak-show cameo as a "mer-man of the amazon" I don't see how they would include it :( .
