the one that's always stood out to me is yo-saff-bridge. a cunning, devious character with some sort of messed up past to set her out on that track. and she's hot. i've even been downloading episodes of kevin hill just to look at her.

Angel: Penn, Boon, Billy

All unique and all developed in very short periods of time.

who are Penn and Boon? sorry if they were memorable to you, just tell me in what story-context they were in and I'll probably remember them. Billy was creepy.

I'd have to vote for Ethan Rayne. he was beyond cool. I so missed him since they shipped him off to some army prison or something.
what I found most interesting about him was that he never even tried to hit anyone with his hands. sometimes he would try to throw a bookshelf at someone or sneak up to someone holding an iron bar or something but when the hitting and kicking started he always got beaten the crap out of and never tried to fight back. it wasn't his style. he got knocked out by second season BtVS Cordy for god's sake. his wapons were magic and intrigue. and not even all kinds of magic but only the chaos variety, interesting effects created to spice things up not the brutal kill-you-dead-magic that for example Willow used when she was pissed. and I have nothing against kill-you-dead-magic or Willow (she's my vote for best female character ever).

I just liked his style and his imagination and his disruptive attitude.

Skip was cool too, I loved his lines along the way "do you live here?" "no I commute. it's not so bad, just 20 min or so." it was exactly what you would not have thought them talking about down in the hell-prison about to kick each other's butt.

Penn was from Somnambulist. He was a vampire that Angelus sired in the 18th century. He's the one that kept recreating his family's murders.

Boon was a blue-skinned demon from Blood Money. I actually don't remember a whole lot about him, but he was a pretty honorable guy and fair fights were really important to him. I think he could also grow some kind of metallic thingies out of his hands.

thanks. now I somewhat know who we're talking about. but I can't say either of them impressed me much.

but just this moment another recurring bad-guy comes to mind: Sajan (sp?) I always loved him somehow. there was a scene with Angel and Lilah and Sajan in a bar where he was late and didn't know what the were talking about and then spilled his big secret in a fit of indignant rage about them consorting behind his back or somesuch thing. made you feel for the poor time-travelling demon who doesn't always get audio.

and speaking of Lilah I always loved her too. she was consistently evil, or at least egocentric, until she fell for Wes. and she was willing to take what came with being evil, she never tried to get out of her deal with W&H for instance. as opposed to Lindsay who never seemed to be able to make up his mind on who's side he's on today.

there's lots of great characters in all the JW shows, not only the ones in the credits.

never really like sahjan (my spelling is probably wrong). he just seemed too out of it and not really a main part of the action. on that note, i never liked holtz either.

lilah was pretty fun to watch. she had some very memorable moments and even when she was with wes, she still manipulated and used him to further her own agenda or the firm's. i liked lindsay too, though.

I love the Grooselug from Angel. He was so adorable. He was like a really nice, muscular, masculine Anya with his observations about the new world he'd entered. He can massage my Shulcktee any time.

I don't think Sahjhan or Groo are really minor characters. IMDB says Sahjhan is in 8 eps and Groo 9 - not particularly minor if you ask me. But both were good, and underused in the long run.

well, i meant this thread to involve characters that never appeared in the opening credits at any point in time. that is why i left out connor and lorne because they both end up in the credits, albeit long after they are introduced on the show. perhaps minor is not the best term. maybe minor and recurring but not official "cast members".

i completly agree about groo. he was not developed properly. i would have loved to have him come back in the end to help out with the black thorn or something. his departure is touching, but entirely too gentle for someone like him.

remember the immortal words from galaxyquest:
"miners not minors!"

I was always a fan of Lilah. Billy was creepy. I liked vampire Darla, not to forget Dru from both shows. I loved Glory from Buffy, Niska from Firefly and I had a major crush on Lindsey at the time. If Vamp Willow from 'The Wish' and 'Doppelgangland' counts, then her too. In fact, there were alot of minor characters that I really liked. I just can't name them all right now.

Oh, and you can't forget Numfar-
