Angel

Wonderfalls and Angel Need Your Love and Attention—Plus, Hot Girl-on-Gilmore-Girl Action!

Mar. 15, 2004

This week, it’s all about a little mouth-to-mouth for a few endangered series that need your help. Plus, I’ve got lots of scoops and spoilers on everything from a Real World engagement and a real-life O.C. pairing, to a wet-and-wild encounter for Alias’ Sydney and Vaughn.

Yay! You liked it! You really, really liked it! I’ve been getting a ton of emails today from all the great and wise souls who tuned in for the Wonderfalls premiere...and I’m so relieved—lots of love flowing for the Falls. Oooh! And before I forget, starting Apr. 5, this chat will begin one hour earlier. I sincerely hope this does not pose a problem for any of you. It seemed to work out best for everyone.

From nobledisaster: I heard rumblings that Angel might have some breath of a chance left in it. Please tell us heartbroken fans that there’s a glimmer of hope!
Big ol’ ad in Variety today (yay!), rally on Friday at the WB camp (yay!), a win from this year’s Save One Show (SOS) campaign (85 percent of the votes!), flowers and candy bars to the higher-ups...the momentum just keeps building! Honestly, every day I’m more and more hopeful, though, sadly, I haven’t heard any concrete good news as of yet. The rumor is they’re now approaching Fox.

From seba_88: Do you think the SOS results could change the decision? More than 30,000 people (including me) voted for Angel. I mean, that’s gotta do something, right?
Thirty thousand? Nah, try 340,000! And yes, I should hope that sends a message.

From seba_88: I heard that the WB "might" pick it up, but honestly, I don’t think that’s true. I need solid things, you got any?
I once had a dance instructor who was a Solid Gold dancer, but sadly, that’s all the solid I got.

From laurelene: Is it true that Michelle Trachtenberg is coming back to Angel?
Read this week’s big ol’ Angel column if you haven’t yet. According to the show’s rep, Michelle, Sarah Michelle and Alyson Hannigan have all been asked to come back to the show. Michelle is doing a movie for Disney, Alyson is doing theater overseas, and Sarah Michelle is supposedly ready and willing, but we’ll see what actually goes down. My hunch, based on everything I’ve heard (including Sarah’s interview with Sci Fi Wire), is that Alyson and Sarah will appear and that Michelle will not. (SLIGHTLY SPOILERISH) In the meantime, producers have worked up a storyline that may or may not include the actual players: Angel and Spike come across Buffy’s new beau (I hate him already, don’t you?) and have a "run-in" with both Summers girls (Buffy and Dawn), though it remains to be seen whether the girls are actually seen. The only known guest star in that episode (numero 20) is Andrew.

From chloe1292: Now we just need Angel on Fox...
Fo’ shizzle! Or make that Fox shizzle!
