News - November 1999

Does Cordelia find out Doyle's a demon? Yes. Next week he comes clean with her.

Big Screen Charisma? Charisma Carpenter weighs her movie future. Cordelia reunites with Buffy on ''Angel,'' but Carpenter won't play her TV character on film

It was like an old-home week for bitchiness when Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) lit into Buffy during Sarah Michelle Gellar's guest appearance on Tuesday's ''Angel.'' Although Carpenter says it was bloody great to reunite with her slayer pal, she confesses she hasn't been mooning over her former ''Buffy'' costars now that she's working 14-hour days in her expanded role on the spin-off. ''I don't have a lot of time to do much except to eat, sleep, and go to work,'' Carpenter tells EW Online. ''I absolutely do miss my old cast mates, but I don't have much time to ponder it. I'm just so freaking busy.''

Carpenter hopes to stay as busy during her hiatus from ''Angel'': She's angling for the right movie project. While studios have been raiding the WB for talent (Gellar, Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams, James Van Der Beek, and Alyson Hannigan have all made the leap to the big screen), Carpenter hasn't joined her peers yet, but that's likely to change when this season's shooting ends. ''I don't think I have a choice in the matter,'' she says. ''My agent is pretty much ordering me to do a movie this summer.''

So far, however, all Carpenter has been offered are the usual teen comedies (and at age 29, she wants to graduate already) or horror flicks that demand a variation of Cordelia. ''What I'll end up doing, I don't know,'' says Carpenter, ''but it's something that's not what I've already been doing for the last three years and (hopefully) will be doing for the next seven. I've got a while to live out Cordelia.'' Wake up Hollywood: Couldn't Sandra Bullock use a spunky kid sister?

Should we get the tissues ready for the Buffy/Angel crossover? Yeah, I hear it's pretty emotional when Angel first walks in the sunlight.

Wanda, Angel's already walked in the sunlight. Anything different? Does he still sleep with the demon? I think his ability to sleep with demons is a more permanent change, not a one-time thing. I think.

Hi, Wanda! There are lots of rumors going around about the Buffy/Angel crossover. Could you at least tell us if they have happy endings? As a fan of Buffy and Angel's relationship, I can't take any more sorrow! Well, it can't be too happy, because they are on different shows, you know.

Editor's Note: Wow! I can't someone actually rated this episode an E!!!

Wanda, there are rumors that Cordelia gets Doyle's powers when he leaves and also that Angel gets "awesome new power" during the Buffy crossover. Is Anel going to become the super-poewrs show? No, nothing like that. But Angel will get new powers and a new lease on a love life. He'll figure out that he can have sex with a demo without disastrous results. Looks like SWM will soon be seeking SWD.

Thanks for the crossover info1 Do you have any more Buffy or Angel scoop? Well, just this one little thing I've been saving for you: I hear Wesley is set to return to Angel.

Wesley on Buffy or Angel? He can't really come back, can he? Angel, and yes.

Will Wesley replace Doyle on Angel? He's not his replacement really

What can you say about the Buffy/Angel crossover? Well basically, Angel comes to Sunnydale because he knows Buffy's in trouble. The town is under attack from Chumash Indians who feel they own the land which was taken from them years ago. Of course,they are defeated, but Buffy is not satisfied. She goes to L.A. to find Angel because she doesn't get to see him when he's "stalking" her back at home. This is when Angel figures out his new sexual situation, and trust me, it affects Buffy.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Unbeknownst to Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Angel (special guest star David Boreanaz, "Angel") lurks in the shadows while her perfect Thanksgiving feast is disrupted by an army of Chumash Indians, the original inhabitants of Sunnydale, in the form of vengeance spirits recreating the wrongs that were done to their people.

Angel
Buffy (special guest star Sarah Michelle Gellar, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") comes to L.A. and confronts Angel (David Boreanaz) about his unannounced stalking, but a bloody battle with a medieval demon leaves Angel with awesome new powers and Buffy with a chance for true happiness with her beloved.

Can you tell us anything about the big Buffy/Angel crossover during the November sweeps?
I can tell you that Angel comes back to Sunnydale, and then Buffy follows him to L.A.

I haven't been here in a couple of weeks. What do you know about Doyle leaving Angel? Is it offical?
Officially, it will be in the ninth episode.

Wanda...please!! I will be forever grateful if you would give some scoop on Angel. Anything at all?
I know Doyle's got a wife who comes back seeking a divorce. She also brings her fiancé, who turns out to be not the nicest guy in the world--any world, that is.
