Angelique Dies

She wouldn't have to have returned so much if she hadn't died so often.  Lara Parker had the privilege of the character on Dark Shadows with the most death scenes, which she carried out with aplomb.  Usually because they involved her being burned all up.

The curse.  Angelique only thought she was dying, but that was enough, apparently.  No take-backs.

Due to an argument over semantics, Barnabas attempts to prove to Angelique that anyone who loves him is due a good dying.  

Her first real death, and probably the most ignominious.  No one even bothered to shut her eyes, and who's going to kiss you when you've got a disgusting stream of blood leaking out of your mouth?  No one, that's who.

The Reverend Trask's first attempt at exorcising (in the words of Professor Stokes) Our Favorite Witch.

Didn't work:  "Harmless smoke!"

The second time was the charm, although looking back, I'm not sure how comfortable I am at the thought of the writers urging we the audience to root for the ghost of a psychotic religious fanatic as he uses brute force to imprint a cross on the forehead of a woman (even if that woman is an ancient, murderous witch).  

The aging of Cassandra at the hands of Nicholas Blair.  Wicked gross makeup job.

Don't worry, she'll be back ... for always!  Here as a vampire, attempting to summon the Prince of Darkness to tattle on Nicholas Blair.

Which got her burned up ... again.

Not for the last time, either.  Ben Stokes did a number on her in the Tower Room in the revisionist 1796 flashback.

Which burned her to ashes.

Laura tried the same trick in 1897.  It might have worked, except that the Angelique she burned was Doppelganger Angelique, which was not nearly as effective.
 

What everyone should have tried, apparently, was what Barnabas tried in the first place:  a bullet to the chest.  This one is courtesy of 1840's Lamar Trask.

Angelique in death.  Would she have returned again had the show continued?  Ratings would have demanded it.  You can bet your broomstick.
