Angelique Bouchard is introduced in the second year of the Gothic daytime series, Dark Shadows during the 1795 time travel sequence..Angelique was born on the island of Martinique in the West Indies, and became the servant to Josette duPres. While on a business trip to Martinique, Barnabas Collins had a brief dalliance with Angelique, before he fell in love with her mistress, Josette. The tryst between Angelique and Barnabas had a much deeper meaning to her than it did to him, and she set out to covertly win his affections away from Josette.Being a practitioner of the black arts, Angelique cast various spells to try to win Barnabas without success. Upon learning what Angelique was, and had done to his family, Barnabas shot Angelique. With her dying words she set a vampire curse upon him so he would destroy any other woman that he might seek to love. Angelique miraculously recovered from the gunshot wound, and desperately sought to reverse the curse before Barnabas died, but was unable. Upon rising as a vampire, Barnabas kills Angelique again by strangling her. She was secretly buried in the woods on the Collins estate, but appeared alive yet again during the Victoria Winters trial to discredit testimony that might set Victoria free. Barnabas father, Joshua offered Angelique a large sum of money to leave town and not return within her lifetime. An offer that she apparently took since she did not intervene when Joshua chained Barnabas in a coffin to stop his menacing the town, since he could not bring himself to destroy his own son.With the return to present day, Victoria Winters finds an old portrait of Angelique, and buys it. She seems to have completely forgotten Angelique, and does not know why she is so drawn to the portrait. Roger Collins suddenly returns home married to a woman named Cassandra Blair Collins Cassandra is really Angelique with her hair dyed black. Angelique again sets out reclaim Barnabas. Her failure to do this angers the warlock, Nicholas Blair (her supposed brother), and in what he considered poetic justice, he made her a vampire. Angelique was enslaved to Nicholas until she betrayed him to the god of the underworld.Barnabas soon learns that after Victoria's return to 1795, Angelique again engineered events to get Victoria hanged once again. Barnabas travels back to that time and he and Ben Stokes set fire to the witch and she screams as she perishes in the fire.In the 1897 time travel sequence, Angelique returns yet again as Angelique Dubois. She remembers the events of 1968 as well as Barnabas and Ben's execution of her in 1795. In this time she sets out to win the affections of Quentin Collins.With the return to what is now 1969, Angelique appears yet again as Angelique Rumson. She had renounced her powers and married a wealthy magazine publisher. Upon learning that he is a pawn of the evil Leviathans, Angelique leaves him before Barnabas kills Sky Rumson for murdering Jeb Hawkes.1970 brings us yet another Angelique, when Barnabas crosses over into a parallel world where she is Angelique Stokes. She is still a witch, but with a different history. She has been dead six months when her twin sister, Alexis (also played by Lara Parker) arrives at Collinwood. Alexis has reasons to believe that Angelique may not be dead after all, so she opens the crypt to see for herself. She was stunned to see her sister's body, six months dead with no signs of decay. She briefly touched the hand of Angelique and this causes Angelique to rise. Angelique then draws the remaining life force from Alexis and places her in the coffin. Angelique then returns to Collinwood masquerading as Alexis to destroy her husband's new wife. Barnabas is again the instrument of her destruction.In the time travel sequence to 1840, Angelique appears having no knowledge of any of her lives in 1897 or the present. Instead, she has been making annual pilgrimages to the Collins mausoleum to make sure Barnabas remained in the chained coffin. She remembers nothing else. She presents herself as Valerie Collins, the wife of Barnabas Collins II, the son of the Barnabas who supposedly went to England in 1795. Later it is revealed that Angelique lived a previous life as Miranda Duvall, a witch in 17th century New England who was granted immunity in exchange for betraying the warlock, Judah Zachary. He was beheaded for his crimes and what became of Miranda between that time and her appearance in Martinique as Angelique is never revealed.Meanwhile in 1841, Judah has returned by possessing the body of Gerard Stiles. Judah remembers her as Miranda, and strips her of her powers. But not before she managed to remove the vampire curse from Barnabas. As a mortal, and without the ability to resurrect herself, Angelique was shot to death by Lamar Trask. She died without hearing Barnabas' declaration of love for her after all.Angelique Collins is again seen in the 1971 MGM motion picture, Night of Dark Shadows. This story alternates between 1971 and 1809. She is the wife of Gabriel Collins and is having a torrid affair with her brother in law, Charles. She is hanged as a witch but appears in 1971 as an apparition. She seeks to claim Quentin Collins who is a ringer for her old love, Charles. In the closing moments of the movie. She has a solid body and has won her quest to have Charles possess the body of Quentin.Lara Parker portrayed Angelique from 1967 through 1971, and reprises the role in recent Big Finish audio dramas.In the 1991 revival series, Angelique was portrayed by Lysette Anthony.In the unaired WB television pilot, Angelique was portrayed by Ivana Milicevic.The 2012 Dark Shadows film featured Eva Green as Angelique.
