Yay Spike! Aw, why isn't Charisma coming back?

Hopefully it was an amicable departure by Charisma so she can concentrate on her new baby. I'd hate to think that there is bad blood between CC and the rest of the cast...especially with all the rumours flying around about SMG.

Should be interesting to see how/why Spike gets recruited by Angel, Wolfram and Hart.

To tell the truth, I'm not all that sad about Cordy leaving. I sensed that since she became pregnant, Charisma was kinda phoning her performances in. I hadn't enjoyed the Cordy character since season three.

However, with Cordy gone there definitely needs to be more Lilah, Gwen or some new lady lead. I still want to see Kate the (ex?) cop come back.

Sigh......

And after that dream I had last night with Spike in it, this just makes my day!

WASH: So?

AAAH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

*curls up into a little ball of unhappiness*

As an A/C fan, and someone who has always had Cordy marked as my favorite character... this is very bittersweet news... dunno if I'll even be watching next year if this turns out to be accurate... *sigh*

Hate to nitpick, and I know this was in the papers and all, but with two episodes to go, I'm a little annoyed to know Spike will make it past the end of Buffy. Not that I necessarily expected him to die, but until now I thought it was a possibility.

I try to stay spoiler-free, and maybe nobody else considers this a spoiler, but as it was in a thread heading and all... Kinda hard to avoid

All these announcements could still have an element of smoke screen in them. Or something unexpected could still happen to Spike in the last two BTVS eps.

Death and destruction are rarely enough to keep Whedon characters from re-appearing anyway. So even if Spike "fails to make it through" the end of Buffy, he could still show up in Angel next season.

Whatever happens I trust the Mutant Enemy crack writing staff will earn it and make the developments believable.

I apoligize, I was so excited I didn't think. it's worth pointing out, that if spike died it the season finale of buffy it wouldnt preclude him showing up on Angel next year. hell, maybe he'll lose that pesky soul in the process and be next years big bad on angel.

Keep Flying!

Aww, come on, she'll probably still show up. Look at Stargate, she might be like Daniel and be a regular the season after, and if you don't watch you'll be lost.
