Aww, I loved the little bit of Mina/Seward! I'd been wondering if, among the many adapations, any went that way, and there's one - with bonus David Suchet! (I don't know quite how I progressed to multi-shipping any Mina/any Seward, but apparently it's a thing now.) Maybe I'll have to track it down and watch it despite Marc warren. As you say, so not Dracula!

and then upon being told, suddenly he had sores on his arms

lol, as you do!
