Angelus

[Magui]

i think she did love him

[Rayne]

I agree. I think she did.

[Magui]

she definitely did...she chose him over her sire!,..the master...she felt for him(liam,,..nor the master!) when he was human...she forgave him fro sending her to hell(well,nagel)...that's love

[blake]

She did choose him, But I still don't think she Loved him, I think that as vampires, theirs was a lust. Because when trouble came, Darla turned her pretty self and ran! She cared about herself more than Him. How can that be love.

[Magui]

well,she stayed with him during 150 years,he wasnt her first child,why did she stay with him?,lust?dont think so,she was a beautiful vamp,she could have had whoever she wanted,she onlywanted him,i think she really loved(maybe not at the begining though)

[slayerpower]

I've always thought that Darla had humanity. She definitely had feelings for him.

[Magui]

i think she really loved him...she really cared about him..all what she wanted was to be with him(ats s2)

[ana8]

Of course she loved him!!!!

[Allycat]

Off course not, it was a pure lust thing. When she was in the slightest bit of danger she dumped him.

[Becky]

I think she loved him. Not only as a lover but as her 'childe' too.

[BillieHunter]

I really don't think she loved him. I agree with Allycat on this one. Lust, not really anything more IMO.

[Allycat]

I don't think so, she always hang up herself onto somebody else, first the Master then Angelus, to make her feel more confident. It was not real love.

[ana8]

There are so many different kinds of love...I think Darla did feel sth towars Angelus and it was close enough love...

[Jules]

I don't think evil is capable of love, especially when evil is devoid of humanity....which we know vampires are. Darla would have lusted after Angelus and she would have envied and been in awe of his cruelness. But as soon as Angelus got a soul she was repulsed by him. She never thought twice about leaving him. The only thing she may have been regretful of was that she no longer had a powerful partner like Angelus.

[FahrbotDrusilla]

I hate when people say Vampires without souls can't love, Darla obviously loved Angelus, It was not just lust I mean, she wanted him as a vampire (buffy season 1) if she didn't love him she would have stoped thinking about him, I agree it can be a part lusty love thing. But in the end it was LOVe not Lust that made her still want him years later.

I couldn't have said it better by myself;)

[Cat]

i think she loved him

[--The Fallen--]

I think she did love him. Even though she did knock him out while they were being chased by that dude, and took the only horse. :P I think she loved him. Deep down she did.

[Xander]

I think she loved him, she did stay with him for a long time and if she didn't love him she wouldn't of been so upset by the ensouling.

[Nano]

I think she loved him. He killed her(Buffy S1) and she still wanted to be with him(Angel S2)

[Cordelia]

I think she loved him. He killed her(Buffy S1) and she still wanted to be with him(Angel S2)

I think that's more along the lines of obsession :)

[eset]

I think waht she felt for Angelus was the closest thing to love she was capable of feeling, but it wasn't love.

It's like she said herself in "Lullaby":

Darla: Look, I know. It wants to come out. I can feel it. It's ready. It's just - I can't let it. I can't let because... because...

Angel: You love it.

Darla: Completely. I love it completely. I-I-I don't think I've ever loved anything as much as this life that's inside of me.

Angel: Well - you've never *loved* anything, Darla.

Darla: That's true. Four hundred years and I never did - till now. - I don't know what to do.

Angel: Well, you-you'll do the only thing that you can do. - You'll have it. You'll have it and then...

Darla: What? We'll raise it?

Angel: Why not?

Darla: It's impossible.

Angel: This whole thing is impossible, Darla, but it's happening.

Darla: What do I have to offer a child, a *human* child, besides ugly death?

Angel: Darla.

Darla: You know it's true.

Angel: No. What I do know is that you love this baby, our baby. You've bonded with it. You've spent nine months carrying it, nourishing it...

Darla: No. No, I haven't been nourishing it. I haven't given this baby a thing. I'm dead. It's been nourishing me. These feelings that I'm having, they're not mine. They're coming from it.

Angel: You don't know that.

Darla: Of course I do! We both do. Angel, I don't have a soul. It does. And right now that soul is inside of me, but soon, it won't be and then...

Angel: Darla...

Darla: I won't be able to love it. I won't even be able to remember that I loved it. (Starts to cry) I want to remember.

Angel pulls her against him.

Angel: Shh...

Angel closes his eyes as he holds a crying Darla.

[SlayerDrow]

I think she could have loved him, although as a vampire it normally was never more than lust, but when she was pregnant with Connor and she had that little bit of humanity in her, it was clear that if she had a soul, she would have loved him.

[FahrbotDrusilla]

Angel: Well - you've never *loved* anything, Darla.

Darla: That's true. Four hundred years and I never did - till now. - I don't know what to do. I never did like that line. I mean in "Heartthrob" he said that the two Vampires were in love. What cause he wanted it not to be love it wasn't now a few eps later? Although I always thought the line meant unconditional type love like a Child or a pet. Not the romantic kind. I mean Darla took revenge for his re-ensoulment much like what's his name did in Heartthrob

[vampwillow69]

of cousre she loved him... well as much as she could... being a souless demon:)

[PrincessZombie]

I definitely think that Darla loved Angelus/Angel. She indulged him all the time and chose him over the Master. (No contest really, David B. is way more attractive than "Batface" :))

[Angelus 114]

I think she really did love him. Even after about 100 years she still wanted him back. That has to be love. there is no way you could lust after someone for so long.

My thoughts EXACTLY!

I agree to the core. Well said.

[Nessima]

I really believe (as do most) that she loved him as much as she could.

[Vamped Slayer]

I believe she loved him.

As for her running when trouble came, well, you've got to look out for number one, and it only made Angelus stronger because he always seemed to get out of it, i believe so anyway.

[Kimm]

I think she cared for him to some degree but I don't think I would call it love.

It seemed to me that Darla saw Angelus more like a companion to travel the world with....and she had fun with him and felt a lot of lust for him but I think that's where it ended.

[alluring dejection]

If we go by all the other terms for "love" on the show, I truly think Dru and Spike were in love. If you compare that to the relationship between Darla and Angelus, well, I don't think she loved him. Angel even told Buffy that she was the only woman he's loved in his entire life.

^ I think this is the case.

I think he lied to Buffy. Although I do agree that Darla and Angelus’ emotions can not be compared to Spike and Drusilla‘s.

[alluring dejection]

But he'd never lie to Buffy. :'[

[Kimm]

I think he lied to Buffy. Although I do agree that Darla and Angelus’ emotions can not be compared to Spike and Drusilla‘s.

I don't think we've seen anything that would truly suggest that Angel lied to Buffy when he said she's the only person he's ever loved.

While I do think that there was a certain amount of caring between Angelus and Darla I don't think we saw anything that would suggest love between the two of them. They had fun together, they enjoyed each other's company and they cared for each other to an extent but neither of them made sacrifices (at least I don't recall any but I could be wrong) for each other and they always looked out for themselves first which is not indicative of "love".

I dunno....maybe it's just me but the idea that they could have been in love had never crossed my mind because I never saw anything that resembled love between these two. I saw lust...but I don't think that should be confused with love.
