What if Cordelia came back?

[snizapman6294]

So at the Paley Fest Buffy Reunion, Charisma Carpenter said that when she asked Joss what'd happen if Angel had failed. He said that she always had a home on Buffy

this got me thinking about a few questions:

1. Who would she date?
2. Would she have survived the battle against Glory?
3. Would she have survived the battle against Dark Willow?
4. Would she have survived the battle against The First?
5. Relationship between her and Anya?
6. Relationship between her and Tara?
7. Relationship between her and Dawn?
8. Relationship between her and Riley?
9. Relationship between her and Andrew?
10. Relationship between her and Spike?
11. Would she have still become half-demon? Or gain any other powers?

personally (All my answers are assuming that Angel Season 1 still happened) :

1. I think she and Riley would've dated.
2. yes.
3. I think Willow would've killed her second. For payback for high school.
4. If she'd survived against DW, then no.
5. Anya'd hate her.
6. Almost non-existant (like Buffy & Tara. not a lot of interaction.)
7. Probably would've poisoned Dawn in the ways of glamour and high-school-bitchiness.
8. See #1.
9. Probably would've hated him.
10. Probably a lot like the relationship between Spike & Willow or Anya or Tara.
11. i think she still would've gotten the visions from Doyle. and would still almost die, etc.

thoughts? opinions? and feel free to bring up other questions you guys think should be speculated upon

I'm alwas up for Cordelia debate...

1. I also think Riley but would end things with her for Buffy. also an on again off again thing with Xander.
2. Yes
3. Yes, they would not have Willow kill anyone good.
4. No, I don't think so.
5. Could have been friends.
6. Not much to talk about.
7. Nothing
8. Somthing
9. Nothing
10. Hate
11. I don't think so, she would have become nothing like the warrior she became. I can't see much need for her to stay by Buffy side ...she had become so much on Angel and was the second lead character and the lead female for 4 years. She had an incredible final episode and helps bring down the Thorn (and start the Apocalypse in Hell-A lol) and even after her death The Powers That Be recruited her to fight on their side of good, can’t be a bigger honor than that.

1. I don't think she would be dating anybody, but would have her eye on Xander again. Especially given that things ended on a positive note before she left for LA. I think she would be curious to see where things could go.
2. I'd like to think so.
3. I think Dark Wilow would attempt to kill Cordy, but would ultimately fail.
4. Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps she would survive and then be there to support Xander during his time of grief, thus rekindling a connection between the two of them down the road.
5. Knowing that Cordy and Xander used to date, I think Anya would be very threatened by Cordy. Plus, given the fact that Cordy would once again be vying for Xander's affections, I think the two girls would be very snarky to one another. Under different circumstances, though, I could see the two of them being friends.
6. Pretty non-existent, at least at first. Tara would likely be very shy and intimidated by someone like Cordy, but I think eventually the two would become friends, as Tara did with the rest of the group. Cordy was friends with Fred, so why not Tara, too?
7. I think Dawn would look up to Cordy, see her as this really cool person and want to emulate her style, etc. Dawn would see Cordy as a big sister type and would look to her for all the attention she fails to get from big sister Buffy. This would of course make Buffy mad, as she would see Cordy as a bad influence on her sister.
8. I think Cordy would find Riley attractive, but beyond that, nothing much. Her affections would be for Xander.
9. Like everyone else, she probably wouldn't be able to stand Andrew! (I love him though ).
10. A part of me believes (given what we've seen in the past) that Cordy would always be weary of Spike, soul or no. On the other hand, I think that Cordy would eventually want to give Spike the benefit of doubt and second chance, just like she did with Angel.
11. I think she would still gain the powers and use them to help the gang.

Fun topic idea.

I'm going off of if Cordy came back around late season 2.

1. I think she would've dated someone else that they brought on the show but I think that she would probably end up alone at the end.
2. Definately, she has learned some moves to keep those Zombie people at bay.
3. I seriously think that if she and Willow were alone, that Willow would probably bring up the years of verbal abuse and pain that Cordy brought on her, and then Will would do something drastic like cut Cordy up or mutilate her.
4. This one is a toughie. Cordy is not that strong, so she might've been the sacrifice that the finale needed instead of Anya. It all depends on Joss though.
5. I think Anya would've treated Cordy the way she did with Willow for the first season. Anya will be extremely protective of Xander and only after so many seasons has passed, then they might have a good friendship. They do have alike personalities.
6. I think they would have the same relationship as Buffy and Tara have. Tara is an extremely likeable person.
7. Eh....I dunno. Normal?
8. Maybe mildly flirtatious. It'll be like the Intro-Angel situation probably.
9. OH THEY WILL BE BFFLs!! (BFFL= Best friends for life) It will be like the valley girl with her gay best friend.
10. I would think they'd have sex with eachother, but I guess they would also form a friendship too.
11. I think she would lose her visions after a while. They were made for Angel and not Buffy so something would happen.

[The Girl In Question]

Oooo. I'm gonna do this without looking at other people's asnwers and see how many other people say the same thing as me.

1. Who would she date?
Probably Riley. But only for a little while, maybe before Buffy dates him. If she was still on Buffy I'd definitely want her and Xander to end up together, though. As much as I love Xander/Anya.

2. Would she have survived the battle against Glory?
Yes

3. Would she have survived the battle against Dark Willow?
But of course!

4. Would she have survived the battle against The First?
...Probably not.

5. Relationship between her and Anya?
They probably wouldn't like each other much. Especially since they both dated Xander (or maybe in this alternate dimension he an Anya never get serious? who knows).

6. Relationship between her and Tara?
Hm...she'd probably make fun of Tara at first but I think they'd be okay with each other.

7. Relationship between her and Dawn?
Too hungry to think this hard...

8. Relationship between her and Riley?
Probably flirtation. Maybe dating. But nothing serious.

9. Relationship between her and Andrew?
I want to think of something really interesting to say, but I'm too hungry

10. Relationship between her and Spike?
They'd have great scenes together. I think they'd end up having a lot of respect for each other because they both say what's on their mind and end up noble heroes.

11. Would she have still become half-demon? Or gain any other powers?
Probably not.

Haha!!! I didn't want to go off stereotypes but that would totally happen!! Her and Andrew would bond so much! Andrew would become a follower of Cordelia just like Harmony did.

[Randi Giles]

1. Who would she date?
She would date around at first, but eventually end up with Xander.

2. Would she have survived the battle against Glory?
Yes

3. Would she have survived the battle against Dark Willow?
Yes, but not without some bumps and bruises

4. Would she have survived the battle against The First?
Yes

5. Relationship between her and Anya?
Not much of anything in my mind, until she decides she wants Xander back, then there's trouble ahead.

6. Relationship between her and Tara?
Uncertain right now.

7. Relationship between her and Dawn?
Big sister like and Buffy would be jealous and everything

8. Relationship between her and Riley?
Romantic at one time, but then realize she loves Xander and Rileys a dud.

9. Relationship between her and Andrew?
There isn't one

10. Relationship between her and Spike?
Funny.

11. Would she have still become half-demon? Or gain any other powers?
Somehow she does get these powers I can't figure out how now in my head, but somehow.

If you haven't figured it out yet I love Xander and Cordy.
