Bell Previews Angel

Jeff Bell, co-executive producer of the WB’s recently canceled vampire series Angel, told SCI FI Wire that upcoming episodes will focus on Lindsey (Christian Kane) and Connor (Vincent Kartheiser). The episodes, "Underneath" and "Origin," were already in production when the WB made its fateful announcement about Angel’s fate.

"Lindsey showed up and then disappeared quite quickly and we get to a place where we think, ’You know what? We need information,’" Bell said in an interview. "And so we bust Lindsey out of hell. It’s sort of The Great Escape, with our guys going in and trying to find Lindsey so we can find out what he knows about us being at Wolfram & Hart. So we’ve got Lindsey and Eve [Sarah Thompson] front and center in that, and we also bring in a new character. Adam Baldwin is going to do a few episodes for us as a representative of Wolfram & Hart. He’ll be a contrast to Eve. It’s male-female, big-small."

Bell then revealed that "Origin" will feature the return of Angel’s (David Boreanaz) son Connor. "Vincent has agreed to come in and do a new episode for us, and we’re going to see the result of the deal that Angel made at the end of last season," Bell said. "It’ll be fun to have Connor show up as a really happy, healthy and well-adjusted kid, the kid he could never be in season four. And for Angel there will be the pain of knowing this is his son, but that nobody else can know that."
