Like the full screen Season 4 Buffy being the right way to watch the series, it sounds like another justification to me. If the average shelf life of a character is about seven years, how come we don't see Angel hanging up his fangs anytime soon. The sad story of UStv is that the producers can rarely talk about the actual politics of the show. We'll only really know the truth in a few years when the vested interests aren't so strong, and the autobiographies are written (possible Charisma title "Don't you have an elsewhere to be?") I liked Cordelia'so character. Yes, she was ditzy and evil in the first few seasons of Buffy, she'd grown into a strong character story wise, and I always assumed we'd be seeing more of her. It's difficult to see how Spike is going to work as a subsitute, unless Fred is drawn forward even more or another character is brought in. I read those comments too.
