The Stokes family may be even more dysfunctional than the Collins brood. Angelique and Alexis have apparently been estranged for some time since Alexis has never met her adolescent nephew. Quentin[spoiler] disapproves of Aunt Hannah, so she isnt
Isn't allowed at Collinwood.[/spoiler] According to Carolyn Loomis, Angelique outgrew her father when she married Quentin. Alexis seems to be the white sheep of the family. And, if Angelique glowed any more, she'd be radioactive.
We never learn much about Jennifer Evans, other than that she lives in New York. It would have been interesting to find out just who she was supposed to be parallel to. Perhaps MB might know if there were ever any plans to bring Jennifer onscreen. Parallel time Sam could have been interesting as well but I think that David Ford had moved on at this point. Maybe Nancy Barrett got custody of Dark Shadows in the divorce.
So Angelique deeded the cottage to Bruno. It's definitely a plot device meant to keep Bruno around to annoy Quentin. I think that Dynasty used the same angle to keep Alexis on the Carrington estate. Bruno gets a last name in parallel time, not that will do him any good. Just remember that Hess rhymes with mess.
Amy is uneasy around Alexis. I can't blame her. She's the youngest member of the household and probably more naive than anyone besides Maggie. Quentin should be a little more patient. Amy is definitely spooked but she means no harm.
