I looked through the threads and I noticed there isn't one on her. Does anyone wonder if they'll ever address it? in season 8...or period. It was one of my favorite episodes in season 5 of angel and they went out of their way to bring andrew on and explain the fate of sunnydale and the slayers. IT would be cool if they brought her in and have her calmed down enough to tell buffy how she was saved by two vampires with souls and see if buffy would connect the dots and realize spike was alive.

Pretty sure Scott Allie says she won't be appearing in Season Eight. I'm not that bothered to be honest... she was a cool one-off character but I'm not that interested in seeing her again.

o ok. She'll probably make some random appearance in the future since her story isn't an integrel one.

I always imagined Andrew would have taken her back to Rome with his crew. I recall how Simone was shipped out of the Chicago squad to what Xander described as a "calmer environment", or words to that effect? Makes sense considering Andrew took Dana anyway that she'd be taken to the same squad... which out of all the groups we've seen seems to be the most mellow (compared to New York, Chicago, Tokyo and Scotland... am I missing any?). It would be cool if Dana had been taken by Simone and her gang, Dana being rather vulnerable... but I'm making my own novel out of speculation right now lol!
It would be cool to give Dana a little nod in the comics, but I agree that an explicit chat between Buffy and Dana would be a bit lame. Sometimes it's nice that the connection is understated, like the girl Anne from S2-S3 Buffy and numerous Angel eps aptly demonstrated.

God but Dana just ROCKED.
Still, yeah, the idea of seeing her all dried out and content in S8 kinda sucks to me, so i guess no to an appearance.
BUT it's a fair point actually to raise; you're right that the issue of her treatment by the Slayers is important, it would tell us a lot about how they deal or don't deal (really) with these things. Much as I love Andrew and the end of Dana's Angel ep, there was a sort of arrogance there and in the whedonverse that leads to nothing but the bad...

I could see Joss not wanting to make a big thing by putting her in a major storyline or anything but like in the predators and prey issue with andrew and buffy when he made a nod to Angel and spike...something to that degree for Dana could be feasible.

o ok. She'll probably make some random appearance in the future since her story isn't an integrel one. It could work, but I'm quite sure the writers are heavily concentrating on the main established cast right now, including more essential slayers like Satsu and Kennedy. I wouldn't mind a Dana one-shot though, but with almost 2000 slayers on our hands, it will probably be a while until that happens, if it ever does. Issue Five, "The Chain," opened that possibility up as much as it closed it by emphasizing the slayer as a shared power, a shared responsibility. The power of the individual is important and beautiful in its own right, but right now Joss is just starting to hone in on the bigger picture of the season.

I'm fine with never seeing her again, actually. It never bugged me that she wasn't heard from again because, well, there are 2000 slayers. Scott has said no talks of having Dana appear have came up.
