Guest realsandman420 Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 The WB has renewed Joss Whedon's ANGEL series for a fifth season on the Frog network -- and it's adding another vampire to the mix. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER cast member James Marsters, who plays that other vamp with a soul named Spike, will be joining the ANGEL cast starting next season. The move was something that had been rumored about for the past month. Other cast members from BUFFY may also make guest appearances on ANGEL. One ANGEL cast member who won't be returning is Charisma Carpenter. According to Variety, the actress who plays Cordelia will likly not be coming back next season. The WB will also be moving the show to Wednesdays at 9:00 PM, directly after SMALLVILLE. ANGEL's ratings have ticked upward in the second half of this past season, and the move to being broadcast after SMALLVILLE is hoped to bump up the show's audience base even further.
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Oh yeah baby, the bar is stocked and the guns are cocked, so lets have a sip as the game continues! Angel is back. YAY~! Spike is back. YAY~! Cordy is gone? .... ... .. . YAY~!!!!!! Good news all around... Now, let's all celebrate with a nice warm picture of Lilah Morgan.
LaParkaYourCar Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Moving to Wednesdays??? It's already on Wed. Do they mean Tuesday? Cause that' the day that Smallville is on.
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Interesting Point La Parka. In celebration of La Park's comment, here's a pic of the beast. CRAP! I messed up... In order to gain every posters forgiveness... here is another pic of Lilah Morgan..
Guest fazzle Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Other articles I've seen say Smallville is the one moving, not Angel. Dunno.
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 HEY! Lilah changed her hair. It looked like she had her hair in a waffle-iron before... Mmm, Waffles.
Guest Mole Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Isn't there an Angel thread for this? Anyway this is great, however, we know that Spike doesn't die. So I guess that could be a spoiler, but whatever.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Cordy's character sucked this year anyway, won't miss her. The team seems too powerful with Angel and Spike...but this will kink their vampire with a soul gimmick.
Guest El Satanico Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 wooo...We'll still get to see Spike after Buffy is no more. Well I suppose this is a slight spoiler for Buffy's finale.
Guest fazzle Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Slight? The fact that Spike won't bite the dust(or, well..become the dust) ruins my expected finale fun by about 283% Cordy's character sucked this year anyway, won't miss her. Yeah, but then there's always the "that wasn't her" loophole. I was holding out hope that fun bitchy Cordy would be back for season 5. Oh well.
Guest El Satanico Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Yes it's just a slight spoiler. It's not actually telling us what happens to Spike during the last two shows.
Guest fazzle Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Either way the character will be alive, so either way it still equals more Spike. Damn you ME, damn you! Edit: Now that I think about it, it might not be TOO horrible, since there's no Buffy there to cause Spike to act like a retard. Maybe he'll actually be Spike again. I doubt it.
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 They should bring faith over to Angel too - not as a regular, but as someone who shows up from time to time... maybe do the nasty with Gwen and Lil - sorry, I'll stop now before I start... anywho, the interactions between the 3 (angel, spike, faith) would be worth it alone... shit, the interactions between Gunn, Wes, and Spike would be gold!!!... shit, lookitme, I'm gettin all excited now...
Guest Mole Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 I hope Spike turns back to his old ways, that is when he was the best.
Guest fazzle Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 They should have left Spike off Angel just so he could retire with a perfect 1 for 1 when it comes to quality appearances on the show. His rooftop voiceover in the teaser for the Gem of Amarra episode was probably one of the funniest moments in the show's history.
LaParkaYourCar Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 but this will kink their vampire with a soul gimmick. EDIT: Nevermind I shouldn't have said anything.
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 LaPark, You read the spoilers?
Guest Youth N Asia Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 but this will kink their vampire with a soul gimmick. Well.... Spoiler (Highlight to Read): Not exactly...I'll just leave it at that Now why not leave something like that to yourself if you know something. Now I think I know what's up and I it bugs me.
Guest fazzle Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Well, ignore this entire post now. But I'll still stop watching if *that* happens.
LaParkaYourCar Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything. I'm going to edit it out of my post and if everyone who quoted it could do so.
Guest Mole Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Dahhhh, I figured that would happened, but thanks Parka. I didn't even get it until you quoted yourself again. DAHHH!!!!
