Olivia Locke (Kelly Monaco now on GH) was a female vamp on Port Charles and she was almost as saxy as hot, passionate Caleb Morley (Michael Easton now on OLTL). No soap has bitten into me like Port Charles did or holds my interest either. Cancelling Port Charles was the biggest mistake in soap operas imo

Spike was a great character, but his journey so mirrored Angel’s on Buffy, that I can see EW going with the original. Angel became a vamp first, then Spike, Angel got a soul, then Spike got a soul, Angel fell for a Slayer, Spike fell for a Slayer, Angel saved people, Spike started helping people… Personally, I thought the Buffy writers showed an appalling lack of originality in dealing with a wonderfully original character like Spike after Joss turned his attention first to Angel, then to Firefly. In simplest terms, they merely aped Angel’s major story arc in Spike leathers. I thought the character deserved better. JMO!

Come to think of it, were there ANY female vampires mentioned on that list?

I was surprised Spike wasn’t on the list too. They gave two spots to True Blood, why not Angel AND Spike? The guy did get pretty neutered by the end of Buffy’s run, but when he first showed up in season 2, he made Angel look vanilla.

Well EW did mention that in the next issue people were upset over the non-Spike mention. Spike rocked and definitely deserved a spot on that list.

I agree….why does no one remember Spike..or better yet Lestat from Interview with the Vampire?

Loved every Buffy/Angel episode with Drusilla. She should’ve had her own show. When she teamed up with Darla on Angel and chewed thru Wolfram & Hart….wow.
