Darla appears in twenty "Angel" episodes, as an minor antagonist and later as an love interest of Angel. The character is known for dying the most in the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" franchise. Benz later emphasized: I just didn't know how it was going to happen. So when they sent me the script my last episode of "Angel"—which I basically had to sign my life away to read—I was sitting in my trailer and I just started to cry. I thought it was such a beautiful ending, it was the payoff and just really brought her whole life kind of to that one moment. So I was really upset my last day of filming because I really thought it was over to me.
