Let's be honest here, how open I am to the idea of Van Helsing/Dracula will pretty much depend on how pretty the guys playing them are. *is shallow*
Holtz kinda gives me Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter vibes. Might be the British accent, though.
Fred just annoys me. That whole crush on Angel thing made me want to kill her, then it was how sickening she and Gunn were - that conversation on the phones about which state was better? If I was Wesley, I would have thrown something at them even if I didn't have a stalkertastic obsession with Fred. Plus, "Pancake kiss?" Gag me with a canoe. Then there was the scene where she tells Wesley that the prophecy about Angel killing Connor was false - "It was all for nothing, look at me, I'm a sanctimonious bitch."
Everything she does gets on my nerves, from the way she was all "The visions aren't from the Powers!" in the episode where WR&H are sending Cordy the killer visions to get Angel to rescue Billy, right up until how whiny she was on her deathbed in Hole in the World ("I'll be there in a heartbeat."/"Assuming I still have one." Oh my God, shut up Fred!).
Pretty much the only time I liked her was in that first episode of season 4, where she and Gunn had to take over AI and she kept everything going. And zapped Connor with a taser repeatedly, because that was funny. And she didn't annoy me in season 2, mostly because I didn't realise I'd have to put up with her for another three years.

Illyria, however, is cool.
