Angeleno (Angie) Darlington is a main character on City of Angels.

## History

The earliest account of Angie's life comes in S02E01, when Angie recalls a moment in her teenage years where she looks to confide in her mom about a secret.

Angie, an aspiring actress, moved to Oasis Springs twenty years prior to the pilot episode of the series. She had moved to town with her husband, Artemis. Two years later, she gave birth to their first child, Liberty Darlington.

Two years after Liberty's birth, Artemis' secret twin brother, who was on the run from the authorities, showed up on the family's doorstep. Angie was furious with Artemis for hiding the fact he had a twin brother. The twin brother, Liam, tried to attack Angie. Angie fought back but was not strong enough to take him on, and Liam knocked her out. She awoke several minutes later to find Liam's lifeless body standing over her toddler, Liberty. Liberty had shot Liam with a nearby gun to protect Angie. In a panic, Angie told Artemis she had shot Liam dead. The pair agreed to bury the body under their home and hoped Liberty would not remember the incident due to her very young age.

Angie was pregnant with her second child at the time of the incident, and later gave birth to a son, Logan Darlington.

In the eighteen years following, Angie raised her two children, became a prominent socialite in Oasis Springs and enjoyed a successful acting career.

## Season One

Angie discovers an affair between her husband, Artemis, and one of her best friends, Adriana. Artemis felt Angie drove him into the arms of another woman, as their marriage had reportedly fallen apart after Liam's death eighteen years ago.

Adriana fell pregnant with Artemis, and threatened to go to the press with the story. Prior to the pilot episode, Adriana had confided in Angie about being on the run from her husband, Paul Garrot, and having changed her name in order to avoid him finding her. In a rage following the discovery of Adriana sleeping with her husband and Adriana subsequently threatening her, Angie called Adriana's husband and informed him of her whereabouts. Adriana was then kidnapped, and Angie quickly discovered Adriana may be in more danger than Angie had anticipated. Angie eventually tracked Adriana down to Paul's home, just as Paul was about to shoot Adriana. Angie shot Paul, though he was able to regain consciousness and shot Adriana. Angie shot Paul again, and this time he died. Adriana suffered a miscarriage as a result of the gunshot. Adriana and Angie made peace with each other following the incident.

Angie learns her son, Logan, has been seeing Matteo Beauchamp, the son of her best friend Greenlee. Angie reveals to the pair that they are in fact half-brothers, as Artemis had slept with Greenlee eighteen years ago, leading to Matteo's conception.

Angie's daughter, Liberty, began to experience flashbacks of the night eighteen years ago. Liberty approached Artemis about the flashbacks, with particular memories of Angie standing over a dead body. Artemis confronted Angie, who had assured him Liberty did not witness the murder eighteen years ago. Angie and Artemis tried to ignore Liberty's flashbacks, culminating in Liberty remembering that a body had been buried in the home. Liberty confronted Angie about the flashbacks, which Angie confirmed were true. Angie gave a false story about a crazed fan trying to kill her, and her murdering him in self-defence. Liberty later overheard Angie and Artemis arguing over the real identity of the dead body, and she was informed the body was of Liam, Artemis' twin brother. Angie then revealed to the family that Liberty was in fact the person who shot Liam.

With the truth out, Angie tries to save her marriage by being romantic with Artemis for the first time since the incident eighteen years prior. Particular mannerisms remind Angie of the night eighteen years prior wherein Liam tried to make love to her. Angie soon figured out that Liam had in fact orchestrated the death of Artemis eighteen years ago by encouraging toddler Liberty to shoot the unconscious body of Artemis, assuming it was Liam. Liam then resumed Artemis' identity. A showdown occurs, and though Angie's son, Logan, is shot, it is Liam who dies in the final showdown, as detective Demario Channing comes to Angie's aid just in time.

The revelation of Artemis' identity being resumed by Liam meant that it was in fact Liam who slept with Greenlee eighteen years ago, meaning Logan and Matteo were not half-brothers after all.

At the end of the season, Angie revealed that the authorities had concluded Liam murdered Artemis eighteen years ago, buried him in the home, and assumed his identity - clearing Angie and Liberty of any criminal charges. Angie accepted a date with detective Demario Channing. Soon after, she was struck by a car and left for dead.

## Season Two

The first episode of the new season opens with Angie fighting for her life following the car accident. She experiences a flashback to her teen years, wherein she confides in her mother about a secret.

Six months later, Angie has recovered from her accident and is celebrating her 41st birthday party on a boat. She is now in a relationship with Demario Channing. Her maid, Nuwa, is now threatening to go to the press and leak a rumour that Angie was aware of the body buried in her home for eighteen years. Fearing a scandal, she agrees to treat Nuwa nicer in exchange for Nuwa's silence. After Liberty aggravates Nuwa, she furiously states she will be going to the press to leak the rumour. Angie begs Nuwa to leave Liberty out of it.

After Liberty is thrown into the sea and goes missing, Adriana suspects Demario after hearing a threatening argument between the pair. Angeleno dismisses Adriana's concerns when Nuwa is arrested for Liberty's assault as well as Angie's hit and run six months prior. Angie later reveals she pushed Liberty and orchestrated her hit and run as part of a plan to keep Nuwa behind bars, in response to Nuwa blackmailing her.

Angie experiences nightmares and flashbacks from a secret in her adolescence. Coincidentally, Tobias Hawthorne, who knows of her secret, arrives in Oasis Springs. Angie is furious with Tobias' arrival, as the two made an agreement over twenty years ago to never see each other again. We learn Angie was originally named Cassandra, but had to change her name and leave her old life behind to escape the secret she and Tobias share.
