Joss Whedon on Who May be Back for Angel

Angel creator Joss Whedon says he'd like to bring Charisma Carpenter back to the show sometime this season, even if it's just to achieve an end to her character's story.

"We definitely want to see Charisma again," Whedon tells the Associated Press. "She has an important part to play this season to bring some closure." If things work out, there's a chance viewers could see Cordelia around the midway point of the season.

The odds of seeing Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy again on the show this season seem worse. "I'm not banking on it," Whedon said about the rumors that she would appear.

It's more likely that viewers will again see Willow (Alyson Hannigan), who appeared on the show last season.
