Glenn Quinn actually grew up just a couple of miles from me. Not that I knew the guy, you understand, but I know the area where he grew up (Cabinteely) very well.

Yes, there was a big fuss among the Angel fanbase when he died. Although he was only in a few episodes, he was a firm favourite and I think a lot of us had hoped that he would show up for another episode. Death is no barrier in the Buffy/Angelverse after all! Just ask Darla.

They showed the video Cordelia made of Doyle during the hundreth episode of Angel, the same video that plays at the end of Glenn's last episode. I always thought it was a very sweet tribute, making sure he was included. He is indeed sadly missed.

I had the same reaction to Doyle as well as Glenn's death. I was really hoping he'd stay on the show long-term. One of the most underrated characters, if you ask me.

I always liked Whistler better. I heard once that he was supposed to have been in the Angel series instead of Doyle. Not sure what prevented that from happening.

Doyle's character does grow on you a bit, but he just never really sucked me in.

Actually according to Joss he intended to kill off the character early before the series even started.

I hope I'm not alone here (and I don't mean to sound like a dick) but what? I think I understood about half of that.

Well, we ARE talking about Joss, after all. The man would kill off everyone if given half a chance. As much as I'm a fan of his stuff, the non stop snuffing off of characters after we've been introduced to and fallin in love with them is really a pet peeve of mine. (rant over )

I too was sad to see Doyle go, and was really sorry to hear of Quinn's passing. What a complete waste of talent. I can definatly see him doing all sorts of stuff post Angel, had he been able to kick his drug demons. Makes me sad & mad all at the same time. He DID this to himself, and it need not have been like this.

He is missed.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Non-stop? It was hardly quite as desperate as that ;) If you ignore Angel S5 (and I think it's fair to given the circumstances), then only 3 principal characters were killed off across 180+ hours of TV. And that's including Tara!
