SPOILER. . .
When Angelique, in the Leviathan storyline, comes to Collinwood after learning her husband, Sky, is in league with the Leviathans, she decides that Barnabas is her One True Love after all. Realizing that Barnabas is sweet on Maggie (he's even given her a ring that Josette's ghost returned to him, a ring we never, ever saw), she immediately pulls the old Jeremiah-Josette ploy and makes Maggie and Quentin get the hots for each other, complete with pitchforks. Since I thought Angelique had finally done some maturing, I felt this a huge, disappointing step backwards in her character.
I don't know if I it messed with my belief system, per se, but it sure pissed me off!
Little things like Lang not turning on the tape recorder when he was supposed to be recording an all-important message, which we will shortly see, did that to me, too.
Love, Robin
