Episode 1047: Extraordinary enemies
Evil wizard Tim Stokes combined medicine with black magic to connect his late daughter Angelique with a woman named Roxanne. The connection drains most of the “life force” from Roxanne into Angelique. This rendered Roxanne comatose and allowed Angelique to move among the living so long as Roxanne neither dies nor gets even a tiny bit better. Vampire Barnabas Collins and mad scientist Julia…

Dark Shadows' Hottest Character?
Round 3
Bill Malloy
Roxanne Drew (PT)
IN HONOR OF BARNABAS COLLINS FIRST APPEARANCE ON “DARK SHOWS” ON APRIL 27, 1966 - A WEEK OF COLLINSPORT VAMPIRE PROFILES!
Roxanne Drew was a young woman in 1840 when the time traveling Barnabas Collins fell in love with her. So what did he do? He decided to make her a vampire. But his killed Julia was well?!? Back in 1970, Roxanne was there and Barnabas fell in love with her again. Somehow he remembered killing Julia and use the I Ching wands to go back in time and save Julia.
But Angelique did something something, and Roxanne still became a vampire, then something something happened and Roxanne was exposed to sunlight and was finally destroyed.
Donna Wandrey has potential as the new love interest for Barnabas Collins. But the writers had run out of ideas and just repeated the old Barnabas trying to turn Josette into a vampire storyline. It got so convoluted that I’m not sure they understood what happened. A signed that the series itself didn’t have long to live.

Things About Dark Shadows I Hate: Roxanne Drew PT. Just. Everything about her. The 1840 retcon and "Angelique My One True Love" confession. These are things I have to viscerally remove from the cannon of the show in order to enjoy it and pretend there's character development. And last but not least, 1840 villainizing Samantha Drew and making Quentin the hero when as I remember it, he was an abusive dickwad. Most of 1840, actually, when I get down to it.
God yes. I hate all the narrative choices they made for Roxanne, but I can’t bring myself to hate the character herself? Like talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place, when being killed in cold blood as collateral damage is what “should” have happened to her instead of what we got. And Donna Wandrey does a fine job with what they gave her, its a shame she’s stuck with a role that ruins everything and gives me strong negative associations to her. PT Roxanne is truly a mess of bad on all levels.
Jeez I just finished 1840 the other month and my memory of it is already fading. I assume you mean the Angelique-is-Miranda retcon? That’s on my Canon to Ignore list as well. I cannot bring myself to watch the Angie My One True Love scenes with the sound on lol. I wanna take this opportunity to give my thoughts on that, because character development is the main reason I hate it. But I also favor Barnabas with Julia so take this with a grain of salt if you wish.
My major problem is that it feels completely unearned, given that Angelique in 1840 is just 1795 Angelique who’s been hanging around, and not 1970 Angelique. The whole ‘we’ve made peace and let bygones be bygones’ angle they come at it from does not work with an Angelique who
Didn’t take part in 1897 and the Leviathan arc.
Is still pulling shit like trying to control Barnabas by threatening/hurting everyone he’s close to as recently as a few months ago.
If they had tried a B&A reconciliation ship with Angelique as we saw her circa #978 I’d be willing to go along with it, hell I might’ve even been interested if they played their cards right.
The writing for Samantha and Quentin was indeed terrible. I don’t remember 1840 Quentin being all that abusive, but I do remember him being all over the place and not a cohesive character with definable traits so idk. It was hilarious how Daphne and Joanna and whoever else kept saying that Quentin would never hurt anyone, they don’t understand how anyone would ever think Quentin could be dangerous or do bad things, etc, and then it’d cut to Quentin saying some shit like ‘you keep telling lies like that and I’ll settle you myself! I am insinuating that I am going to come after you with the intent to harm or kill you!’ Like, guys… what are you going for here
Barnabus and Roxanne - Dark Shadows
I thought Donna Wanderley had potential as Barnabas’s new love interest but the writers didn’t know what to do with her. In both her storylines she became a vampire... ugh!
