I love that so many pointed out that you can't pin things down that easily. These things made the story all that more interesting. Exactly. There's a rich tapestry to work from and expand. I love Darla and all her twists and turns. While pregnant, she's adamant that she and Angelus never loved another yet in S1 she says that she still loves Angel even if he doesn't love her (situations like that are the saddest thing in the world, according her) and she makes no distinction between Angel and Angelus (Drusilla, on the other hand, does sometimes make a distinction). I can explain these as she just said what she was feeling at the time or whatever would have the maximum effect, and it also could be explained that the love she talked about in S1 was a perverse kind of love, not the hearts and flowers "true" kind, but sometimes I wonder if the writers remembered her earlier appearances in the show.
