Stephanie Romanov recently saw her Angel character - evil lawyer Lilah Morgan - meet an unexpected end. And an even more unexpected resurrection...

"Basically my contract with [evil law firm] Wolfram and Hart extends beyond death," Romanov told the Zap2It.com web site. "When the senior partners need me to do something, they send me back for whatever. It's basically, you sell your soul to the devil, and he always has it."

It's not the first time Romanov has been brought back from the dead either - in fact, she has something of a track record for it.

"I've been killed in so many shows and came back. I got killed in Models, Inc. and came back as somebody who happened to look like myself, I was killed in Spy Hard and came back as my daughter 15 years later.

"I was [also] killed in Seven Days, but they went back in time and saved me. So it seems to be a theme. My mom says, 'Why do they always kill you?'"
