Would you like Whistler coming back to Angel?

[Neil]

I recently watched the second season finale of Buffy and wondered why they never brought Whistler back.

I know they created Doyle more or less similar to him, but I wondered why they never thought about him.
Neither in the comics.

Would you like to see him return?

[Hallow Thorn]

I would like him to return, but only for a bit and then kill him off and have him only in flashbacks.. lol But I would like to see him again.

[Neil]

Yeah, that would be nice.

Strange that his destiny would play out exactly as Doyle´s. ;-)

I heard that it was Whistler who was suppose to be Angel's "guide" in LA, not Doyle. But that didn't work out.

[Neil]

Yeah, I´ve heard that too. Why didn´t it work out?

I think they replaced him because -probably- TheWB wanted a more well-known actor on the show than Max Perlich.

So I think now, probably Whistler could be brought into the comics, as a some kind of Doyle character, because probably some writers will have problems with writing Doyle because Glen Quinn is dead.

[Wyndam]

I wouldn't mind him returning. He's still alive out there somewhere, and we never did find out much about him. I always liked Doyle more, but I am certainly not opposed to Whistler returning.

Only if Angel goes to some pretty dark place, or just gives up with what he is doing. Cordelia was pretty much used for that a few times throughout the series, and a lot of us are completely sick of her coming back. Whistler could fit in that role easily. It's his purpose, isn't it?

[Neil]

Yeah, I think so.

I thought, a few issues before After the fall ended, that they would bring Whistler or Doyle in and use this character to bring Angel back on track, especially after the final deaths of Wesley, Fred and the enstranged relationship with Gunn.

Hopefully they will use Whistler (or Doyle) next time instead of Cordelia.

[Wyndam]

Yeah that would be an interesting way for Angel to come back from the deep end, if he ever goes "dark" again. With Cordelia, Fred and Wesley gone, Gunn's issues with becoming a vampire, and Illyria not exactly being the most human member of the team, Angel needs that link to humanity to keep him going. He's got Connor, but I think Whsitler could also serve as that reminder, if Angel ever needs it again.

I hope he comes back as a narrator or something like he did in Becoming Part 1 & 2.
