I don't know about you, but I prefer Gwen, Groosalug, and Nina coming back. I know they're not the most important people but it's still cool. Besides Angel, Gunn, Wesley, Illyria, Connor, and Spike......Cordy, Lilah, and Lindsey are the only other people I wanted in the comics, and since they're dead...bringing back minor characters is an okay route to take. That's my opinoun...but I'm seeing a pattern.
(order of introduced)
Nina Ash, from season 5.
Gwen Raiden, from season 4.
The Groosalug, from season 3.
Season 2....Season 1.. I think the pattern will continue. I hope it is Kate that was stuck and LA and join the gang. That would be cool. But the minor characters, do you like them coming back?

I'm fine with minor characters being brought back, as long as it doesn't continue until there's no one left. I'm not sure if I can see Kate in ATF, it seems like she would've left LA and not come back. I think it's more likely she'd come back in a future story (once LA's of hell).

I think it's better that he's bringing them back well. I like Kate but I think there's enough returning characters for this story. I'd like to see her in future stories though if they happen.

I like that old characters are returning, especially Gwen and Groo. Gwen was always rather interesting, and Groo is just hilarious. I couldn't care either way with Nina, but I guess it is nice that she is there.
I would love to see Kate return. She was such an interesting character that had a lot of unused potential. I think she would have stuck around L.A. after all that happened, so it would be completely plausible for her to return, in my eyes.

Not a huge fan of Nina, but I don't mind her being in this series. Love Groo and Gwen, so it's great that they're back, tho I'm happy it's in minor roles. They're similar to Harmony in that way: best in small doses (but I would absolutely read a Groo series!). Just hoping that this is the limit, at least for awhile. Having Kate, and Jhiera, and Lilah, and Justine, and Drogyn all begin to show up, too, might get a little much...  |

I hope its Gwen, just to see if she'd still be interested in Gunn.

I hope its Gwen, just to see if she'd still be interested in Gunn. Gwen has already returned. This thread is just asking if people liked that old characters that had minor roles returned. |

I would like to see Lindsey come back even though he is dead. After his role in Season Five I always thought that he had some untaped potential as a character. He wouldn't even have to be in long just long enough to start some trouble, what he does best!
Kate would be cool to see too. I don't think that she would fit in with our whole supernatural team now. Sure Angel is human but he still has some kind of mojo going on. I mean it would be nice to see how a pure human could help Team Angel.

He wouldn't even have to be in long just long enough to start some trouble, what he does best! I agree. He and Angel's chemistry was a lot like Angel and Spike's. They were both big rivals and worked reallly well together. Plus, Lindsey was such a popular character it just seems extremely unlikely that he won't be used again. |

I hate to be a negative nacy but bringing back, like every old 'favorite' is getting a bit old. I mean the Groosalugg... ugh! I'm hoping he'll have more of story purpose then just hanging around for the sake of having a popular character back. I can understand Nina being around but Gwen? I dunno, she just seems like another fan favorite being back because she's a fan favorite, i would just hate this story to be bogged down with to many returning characters.

Is Gwen a "fan favorite"? And you should check the polls about "which character do you want to see" to see how many people wanted Groosalugg back before he actually appeared. We're not doing it simply because America (and beyond) demands it. Gwen, Groo, Nina, they were included because they all have a great part in this story.
That said, Groo is surprisingly so much fun to write, I'm dying to tell more adventures with him when this is all over, canon or not, it would be a blast.

I love Gwen, but I think on the whole, she seems to be a fairly unpopular character with most of the fans. The complaints about her are usually that she's too much of a Faith wanna-be, and that her powers are too 'X-Men' for the world of "Angel". She wasn't someone I would've wanted showing up in, say, every other episode, but I do wish they could've brought her back at least once or twice in S5. So I was very happy to see her here in A:AtF.  Brian, issue #5 wasn't the last we're gonna see of Groo, is it? I know you said he has a fairly small role in this series, but will he be around at least a little while longer? |

I definatly love the fact that the "minor" characters are being used in Angel After The Fall and for that matter are actually getting a pretty good place in the major storyline. Gwen, Nina, Groo, I loved em all. It's really great to see they are using Nina though since she was only in a few episodes of Angel. As for Gwen being in it. Well there has seemed to be alittle bit of negative feel about that decision, but honestly I think that kind of atmosphere is perfect for Gwen. To me, she seems like someone who wouldn't pass up an opportunity like she has now in Angel After The Fall. As for Groo, same rules apply. The guy is a born warrior, there was no way he'd sit this one out! lol.

Yeah it's great to see all these characters back again. Not a lot of them would have had time to get out of L.A before it went to Hell e.g Lorne and Nina. Groo probably just hung around L.A after season 3. And same goes for Gwen. They're all cool and a great part of the story. |

I always felt like Gwen and Groo would make great additions to Angel Investigations, so I am happy they are here.

Gwen was always a really interesting character to me. I thought she was really well portrayed by Alexis Davalos as well. I like the friendship/romance brewing between her an Conner as well.
