There was some talk of [a Faith spinoff], but she chose something else, and the talk stopped. > > TVGO: And you wouldn’t just recast Faith? > Whedon: I would never have a different actress playing any of the characters I’ve established. I could create shows around different characters, with different permutations and structures for the characters, but it would require coming up with a new show. It wouldn’t just be, you know, like, more of the same with some of the same people. It would have to be the way Angel is not Buffy — it would have to be neither of them [but rather, something unique]. And I don’t know what that show is or would be or could be because my brain is very sleepy. But I certainly don’t rule that out. ---

Oh, it brings a tear to my eye. One can only hope there will be something else one day … ---

He mentions Willow as a spin off… One can only hope. ---

The Willow spin-off eh? That should be fun. She could uh…not do magic and make out with Kennedy all season!!! Weee! ---

Ouch, \*\*pepper[/b. Ouchitty ouch ouch ouch ouch. Although to be fair, Willow is back to doing majick. And we’re all praying that Kennedy has a terrible accident outside a high rise where someone is hoisting their Bosendorfer into their 22nd-floor living room with an ancient, unreliable crane. ---

From what I hear, and the source has been reliable on everything else in the past (I realize just how much credibility my saying that ads) Ms. Hannigan was approached to do a spinoff and declined. ---

I’m not surprised. The only cast member who has been open to returning is James Marsters and maybe Nick Brendon. ---

After hearing that the only regulars enthused about a spin off were Brendon and Marsters, I had a flashback to when I was playing with [this](http://www.rain-street.org/fightcrime.htm): One’s a mild-mannered construction worker by day… The other’s a blood-sucking demon with a soul… They fight crome! 🙂 ---

:smack: crome -\> crime obviously (although with Spike’s bias against reflective surfaces…) ---

Like I said before: it will be Clem, Dawn and Andrew driving around in a van solving groovy mysteries, airing on ABC Family network. * * * Of all the actors involved in Buffy, A.H. seems to have the brightest future so I am not surprised she passed. ---

Well, I don’t know… American Pie 3? a.k.a. ‘American Wedding’. I wouldn’t call that a bright future. She’s a very skilled actress, but doesn’t have the classical ‘good looks’ that studio execs look for. ---

She wants to get into more movies and she’s getting married soon. She may want to do something really wild and crazy and spend time with her new husband or even start a family! ---
