As we saw with Buffy season 8, Alot of cameos by past surviving members were made but in such a way that they werent gratuitous.So I wonder with the new writing staff and new possibilities for storytelling angles, who in the Angelverse could make a legitimate return without it just being random and useless.
Just a few people i thought of off the top of my head include: Justine, Rondell and the old gang, Eve, Gwen, Groo, Nina, and maybe after enough time has passed and the right story came along, Lorne.
The one that really stands out in my mind right now is Rondell and the gang because of the fact that Gunn is back on his own and did say he would reform his gang, and they would be the logical next appearance that i could think of in terms of cameos.

Gunn's old crew and Anne, definitely. Thinking about it, they should really have gotten a First Night story. Would have been cool to see them rise up and defend their territory against the demons.

I agree about the first night part, they actually should have touched upon real people we know in the angelverse dealing with the first night. Maybe David Nabbit getting attacked at he place of work or like the whole ANne/ gang thing.

Ya-Gunn's old crew would be perfect, if Gunn is going to set up something separated from AI... but I'm not sure I want to see anyone else return.I like the idea of the new group and think a return of characters from early in the show might not work unless there could be a compelling reason for them to return.

This! That would have been so cool! Coulda replaced the citizens First Night with that, as I thought that one was quite pointless. As for returning characters... Eve and Lilah. Those are the only two I'm interested in ATM. And I'm hoping they'll be mentioned, or appear, in the upcoming W&H arc. If I had to pick another, it'd be Gwen. She's so cool, and could be doing a lot, which we saw in #32. I support a Gwen one-shot. Nina hasn't been around in a while, but she really isn't needed. We know she's fine, so no need to give her any extra panel time that isn't necessary.

I want Anne to return. I want her to run into Spike, and he will sort of remember her, asking her where they have meet, and she'll deny everything. It always disapoints me, watching 'Blood Money'(if that's the name of the episode), seeing how Angel and Anne don't seem to remember each other at all.

I'd love for them to run into Hank Summers, perhaps he's in need of saving or something? I know he's not Angelverse but he's in L.A. and showed up in the Buffy series. I'd just love to see Spike giving him a "You're a terrible father" rant.
Other than that I'd like to see Lilah again, she was an awesome W&H employee.
Im not sure if Dru and Gwen count as characters no longer in the storyline but I'd like to see them both back in the main fray. Harmony perhaps- she Angel and Spike are all famous vampires now (assuming we take this as occurring after her one-shot in Buffy season 8) and I'd love to see how that panned out: "Ooooh look it's my wonderful famous Blondie Bear, we're like Posh and Becks with fangs!" I think that would be really funny.
I miss Lorne but I respect and understand their reasons for taking him out of the main storyline and wouldn't have it any other way.

I think Gwen should be part of Gunn's crew, if they are gonna return. I think she could fit well into the story, because of her ties to Gunn in AtF, but not as part of team Angel so soon after her betrayal and Connor's rejection.
I would like to see Lilah and Eve team up with the return of Wolfram and Hart, and Dru is always welcome.
I'm soooo tired of Groo and Cordy Dragon, so I'm not missing them... Nina has been in way too much considered she's so underdeveloped, so she should either be kept out or developed a lot.
Lorne is welcome back, whenever the writers feel that it would be fitting, but rather too late than too soon.

Anne could actually be a good one off story. Like something is picking off her kids and Spike comes to the rescue not knowing her but helping cuz he's a big softie lol.

I think Anne is a great idea as well. In addtion, I really felt like the Dru Two Parter lacked the one thing that people (or at least I) wanted to see-A reunion with Spike.

Hopefully this will be rectified in Spike's series. Alot of people complain about IDW capitalizing on the franchise by having too many titles but i think its a good way too see possible returns of characters mentioned in this thread.

I really want to see a reunion with Spike too. I can't even imagine how that conversation would go, which is why I really want to see it happen.

It always disapoints me, watching 'Blood Money'(if that's the name of the episode), seeing how Angel and Anne don't seem to remember each other at all. Well, the theory was that Angel and Anne wouldn't remember each other after three years, seeing as they only said about two words/lines to each other. Joss' theory anyway

It always struck me as funny how Chummy Anne and Gunn/ gunn's crew were with her. I mean she had some time in LA to meet people between Buffy season 3 and Angel season 2 but not all that much and when we see them together she acts as if they are lifelong friends.
Another character I remembered was Virgina Bryce and her Father. Not so much Virgina bc her connection was Wesley but maybe her father. He was made out to be a big time Wizard in LA. You'd think at some point something he created or did would cross paths with Team Angel.

I'd quite like an Anne return actually, but being a hopeless romantic of course I'd want her to tell Angel and Spike where she got her name and about Buffy running away because I assume Angel was never told about that.
