Story
The character of Jeremiah Collins was born in 1763. In the original series, was depicted as the younger brother of Joshua Collins (
However, Barnabas had a last minute fling on
On the evening of Barnabas' and Josette's wedding, under the influence of Angelique, Josette and Jeremiah giddily eloped. Later, feeling guilty or perhaps the spell's effects had weakened, they returned to the Collins' family house to face the consequences of what they had done. After Barnabas Collins learned of their marriage, he challenged Jeremiah to a duel. The family tried to dissuade them, but caught in the passion of the moment, Barnabas insisted it go forward. Jeremiah was mortally wounded; he would later succumb to his wounds at 2:00 A.M.
In the 1991 revival series Jeremiah was Barnabas's younger brother. Being hexed by Angelique and eloping with Josette plot is mostly the same but some details were altered. For example, Jeremiah and Josette did not return to home but were located by Barnabas; it was Jeremiah who challenged Barnabas to a duel; Barnabas promised not to harm Jeremiah and was going to keep his word, but Angelique had magically interfered so Jeremiah was killed in the duel.
