Buffy and Angel? Is the crossover ban lifted?

I'm not a big fan of Angel, but so I didn't avoid reading this spoiler:

Select to view spoiler:

Angelus is going to put in yet another appearance and Faith will be called in to deal with him.

Just watched a tape of last night’s Letterman with Eliza Dushku. She did not make any Buffy-related announcements, though we did learn that she is Danish-Albanian and that Dushku (pronounced Doosh-koo) is an Albanian name.

Anyone hear anything about Eliza's "decision day"?

I watched it last night, and while she said she was going to mention something, I had my doubts that the subject would come up in the interview. She may have had the best intentions, though, she didn't have the opprotunity. For what it's worth, she did look like she had more to say when Dave cut to commercial.

"Doosh-koo"? Oh dear. I'm not gonna touch that one!

Looks as of Eliza has signed on the dotted line:

Dushku Back On Buffy, Angel

Her parts in Buffy will take place at the end of the season... could this mean it is her taking Buffy's place next season and not Dawn?

I'M ALL FOR THAT!!

Well, the timing does suggest a new series with Faith as the main character. But bear in mind that Mister Whedon is unlikely to have much involvement in it. Right now he's got four series he's playing a big part in running, and a fifth one (Ripper) on hold until he can find time for it. So a Faith series is probably dependent on finding someone to run it.

Hey maybe Faith and Willow can form a reformed killers support group!

I don't understand why everyone's all up in arms about Dawn taking "Buffy's place" when Gellar's contract expires. I mean, who's to say that Dawn is even a slayer or could even become one? Besides, she hasn't even been given any character to dislike thus far in the series. I'm going wait until this season to make any judgements.

While I would love to see Dushku on board as a regular, I doubt she'd go for that. She's becoming quite the star without it. The more likely scenario is that Faith will be killed/ will sacrifice herself at the end of the season.

Though, I think a Faith series could be amazing, and Dushku might even go for it... who knows?

I'm not a Dawn-hater -- I don't get passionate about TV characters. But it's hard to see TV series centered on her. She's just not that complicated. I only find Dawn interesting as a counterpoint to Buffy.

Dushku has been getting a lot of movie work, but she's yet to get a starring role. Being a supporting actor in movies pays better than being a recurring character on a TV series. (When Stephen Furst was offerred a promotion from recurring to regular on St. Elsewhere, his first impulse was to answer "I dunno, my pizza delivery career is starting to take off!") but being a star in anything is gratifying to the pocketbook, the ego, and most of all the career. I doubt if she'd turn down her own series.

And maybe a Faith series would fulfill contract obligations for the rest of the cast who have signed on for two more seasons. When Gellar leaves, they could change the show's name so something like "Faith," and then Whedon wouldn't have to add another show to his stack. I can definately see Faith, Willow, and Spike having great chemistry, but working in Xander and Dawn may prove problematic.

Though, something tells me to doubt a Faith series... to *HIGHLY* doubt it.
