Do you think she will be following Spike to Angel's show?

(snip) It can't be easy facing the thought of being a single parent
raising two daughters and a grandchild. I've been a single parent with
little support and it is damn difficult. I can't fault anyone (be it a
pbparent or a pgrandparent) for not wanting to do it.


Maybe she
feels safer with the cameras.

Interesting point.
Maybe she does

Yes that's a good point and maybe one of the reasons she was okay with
doing the show? I imagine the parents consulted the girls first before
going through with this. At least I hope so! She is in a tough spot for
sure, she can't do it on her own at this point and yet is it fair to
expect her mother to? She says she doesn't which is good but the reality
is that her mother will *have* to if she keeps. As I said before, I can
empathize with both the daughter and mother.



Me too. And I realise that divorce would change the equation
drastically.
And that is her (mother's) decision. Could be she really has just about
had enough. I wouldn't fault her either. However, these look to be
people of some means (by my standads, anyway). Could be that the dad has
put all his energies into making money, and proving himself that way. He
may be a lying jerk, but didn't strike me as fundamentally unfeeling or
unloving. Families aren't meant to be pretty, IMO - why, this is hell,
nor are any of us out of it. But if the will is there, people can make
some kind of a heaven in hell's despite.


OTOH, maybe they should *all* be adopted by Dr. Phil and his lady wife
(her of the calm yet vigilant aspect, who sits in the audience and
radiates wifely radiance) and fed on a diet of pablum, platitudes and a
thin gruel of dilute commonsense, until they are born-again as the
perfect American family.

Were you by any chance a Buffy fan? That last paragraph is pure Willow.

I don't watch Angel, but the saddest part of farewelling Buffy was
seeing the end of Spike. Great to know where he's gone. I guess I'll
have to start watching Angel now.

My daughter and I both watch Buffy - me for Spike and her for Willow.

Willow's mother now plays a psycho lesbian on Passions.

TOP POST: I don't know. I saw an interview with her last year and she
said that while she enjoyed the show she was looking to break away. She
didn't want to be known for just "Buffy". I have not seen any Angel
shows this year but I think it would be cool if she at least showed up
once or twice.

So do the producers. I saw a piece recently about her doing a few appearances.
