Kelly Overton will probably always be known as Vanessa Van Helsing. That's how much she's made the iconic vampire hunting surname her own after five seasons of the SyFy series Van Helsing, which takes its final bite out of a post-apocalyptic world tonight.
Of course, Kelly Overton is coming back as Vanessa Van Helsing. You can't really have the show without her! That said, our hero's been missing in action since the seventh episode of Season 4, in which she trapped both Dracula and herself in another realm.
What happened to Vanessa at the end of Van Helsing?
After Jack bites the Dark One, Vanessa takes in the dark energy, which leaves her unconscious and trapped inside her own head, where she has built a world for herself, in which she is in her old apartment with Susan and Dylan.
Vanessa is once again resurrected and must confront her family's legacy; Axel, Scarlett and the others fend off Blak Tek's forces, who hope to add Scarlett to their list of lab rats.
Vanessa Van Helsing, distant relative of famous vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing, is resurrected only to find that vampires have taken over the world.
Spin-offs. Sommers expanded the story of Van Helsing in two direct spin-offs: The animated prequel titled Van Helsing: The London Assignment takes place before the main events of the film, focusing on Van Helsing's mission to try to stop Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Dylan appears to Vanessa during her state of unconsciousness after having taken in the Dark One's power. She sits at the table in their old apartment in front of a birthday cake and embraces her mother.
Scarlett stabbed herself, killing her, to cause the dark in Vanessa's heart to go away so that Vanessa would have the motivation to kill the last elder, Sam.
Vanessa breaks free and wastes a couple of vampire guards, but Dmitri is waiting for her in the hallway. He wanted to give Vanessa a taste of sweet freedom ... and then take it away.
Scarlett orders the Elder to find Vanessa, and after being given some of Scarlett's blood he is able to feel Vanessa again and located her. He kills everyone at the facility where Vanessa is being held and then bites Vanessa.
The question that is still unclear is why Daredevil: Born Again recast the role of Vanessa. While Zurer expressed sadness to not be part of it, the reason wasn't clarified. The likeliest scenario is that Marvel Studios and Disney+ attempted to get Zurer, but scheduling conflicts prevented her.
Vanessa is the last hope for survival, as she unknowingly awakens to discover she possesses unique power over them: that she has a unique blood composition that makes her not only immune to vampires, but with the ability to turn a vampire human.
By Van Helsing season 2, Vanessa was reunited with her long-lost daughter Dylan who'd been turned into a vampire while she was comatose. Their reunion was sadly short-lived after Vanessa tried to cure her but ended up killing her instead.
Was Van Helsing a Box Office Hit or Flop? Van Helsing swept into theaters on May 7, 2004, and while critics were not particularly enamored with the film, it still managed to bring in $300 million at the worldwide box office.
However, despite being a fun romp, Van Helsing got negative reviews, and despite grossing $300 million — a bit shy of double its budget — there was no clamoring for a sequel.
After Dracula's box is finally loaded onto a wagon by Romani men, the hunters converge and attack it. After routing the Romani, Harker decapitates Dracula as Quincey stabs him in the heart. Dracula crumbles to dust, freeing Mina from her vampiric curse. Quincey is mortally wounded in the fight against the Romani.
Dracula reveals that Van Helsing is actually the archangel Gabriel - the left hand of God - as well as the one who originally murdered him. He offers to restore Van Helsing's memories, but Van Helsing refuses, deciding that "some things are better left forgotten".
The London Assignment is an animated prequel to the 2004 motion picture Van Helsing (released the same year). It tells of the events before the film. It was animated by Universal Cartoon Studios, Production I.G, and Sunwoo Entertainment.
There's no official explanation for Ethan's and Aneesa's disappearances. It seems they were characters meant wholly to be plot devices to develop other major characters and then bowed out when their purpose was served. One possible reason for the rushed Never Have I Ever season 4 is cost-cutting measures.
Anna Valerious is the love interest of Van Helsing. Her mission is to kill Dracula once and for all, following in her ancestor's footsteps who dedicated their lives in attempting to do so.
She burns up in her mother's arms, turning to ash and blowing away. Vanessa's screams of grief can be heard, and felt, for miles, and one of those listeners is a very, very old and decrepit looking vampire who has now been awakened from his slumber.
