TOP 25 SHOCKING WHEDONVERSE MOMENTS

“Who’s Darla?” “Angel’s old flame from way back.” ”Not the one who died?” ”Yeah. No, not that one. The OTHER one who died and came back to life. She’s a vampire.”
That pretty much sums up Darla in a nutshell. She was Angel’s sire and lover for hundreds of years before tossing him aside when he was ‘cursed’ with a soul. Angel kills her in the seventh episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Imagine his surprise when Darla pops up alive and well (seriously, she’s a human)- now working with Wolfram & Hart. Humanity doesn’t suit her well though, and she is ultimately turned into a vampire yet again. Sound pretty crazy so far? Well get this, she eventually becomes pregnant with Angel’s child. That’s right, a vampire pregnancy. One of a kind. Tell your friends. There are problems with the pregnancy though, and she ultimately sacrifices herself to save her unborn child.
Darla is a seriously overlooked character in the Buffyverse, but she’s actually quite unique on many levels. For one thing, she has died four times- that’s more than ANY other character in either Buffy or Angel. She’s also one of only three vampires to ever have a soul (it was actually her baby’s, but still counts), and she is the only vampire to ever become pregnant- a phenomenon that is partially explained in a later season. Whether you like or dislike her as a character, you gotta admit… she has had her fair share of shocking moments.
