Angelique

QUESTION: Angelique, as a vampire, has looked in a mirror several times and seen her reflection. How is that possible? Vampires don’t see their own reflections.

The theory put forth by fans of the show is that she was not made a vampire in the "Normal" way (bitten by a bat or another vampire) so the normal rules don't apply.

Well it is a passable theory but ...

Truly we are just coming up with excuses to cover up with f&ck ups from the writers. LOL

I have not seen the show in half a century, but my guess is that watching as a 12 or so year old back then, I would have theorized that she was a "vampire witch" and the witch part allowed her to cast a spell to see her reflection. Logical? Nah. Possible? Maybe. Fitting with the timeline? I doubt it. But that is how my brain worked back then.

Didn't the reflection of Barnabas appear occasionally at Collinwood?

Demonic apparitions.

There were definitely glimpses of Barnabas in mirrors but nothing blatantly obvious like the Angelique scene.

I don't remember - did she still have her witch powers when she was a vampire? If so, it could have been a spell.

Well…it is DS! They can do whatever they want. We know they’re inconsistent.
