Steve, I'm with you on this one. The upcoming change Mrs. 'Valerie' Collins goes thru is a doozy, and not very believable.
Julia99, I was thinking the same thing. What the heck is Angelique about with this? It's like okay, her vampire 'husband' is cheating on her, and hates her guts. So in order to hold on to him (or get back at him?), she threatens to turn his little girlfriend into a vampire too. Yeah, that'll fix him! Then he won't have any excuse for staying away from Roxanne - they can be together for all eternity. And last time I checked, Barn kicked her @$$ for turning him into a vampire. What makes her think that Ms. Drew will do any less?
You'd think she'd threaten to kill Roxanne by some other means, or at least cast a spell on Roxanne that would cause her to be grossed out by Barnabas or something! Even if Angie threatened to expose Roxanne as a vampire after she rose; that might make some sense.
What were the writers smoking when they came up with this brilliant plot twist?
