When he loves an actor, he gives them more and more to do, which usually means suffering.
Amy Acker is another one of his favorites, if you can't tell. ;-)
I'm guessing that same rationale also has a lot to do with what happened with Willow on season 6 of Buffy.
Wesley is actually my favorite character out of either show. The changes that he went through from being prissy and stuck up on Buffy, to being a bumbling demon hunter (ahem, Rogue Demon Hunter) on season 1 of Angel ("And I will take that inch!"), to the dark and brooding of the whole "the father will kill the son" part of the show, to the unrequited love, to the briefly having the love, to the hollowness of losing Fred. And so much of that is because of the range and abilities of Alexis. I've been shocked that he hasn't been able to really make it into mainstream movies, because I really think he is a tremendous actor. And judging by the deleted ballet scene in Summer Glau's episode, the guy is funny as hell.
This same rationale, of torturing the characters of the actors he loves makes me cringe when I think about how bad things would have gotten for one Malcolm Reynolds.
Not many people can fake a convincing hamstring pull (or would want to)..what a talented guy...
