The website About.com recently caught up with Joss Whedon, who talked about Spike on Angel, adding other Buffy characters to the series, and what he plans to work on next.
When asked how he plans to bring Spike into the mix, Whedon was a tad vague: "I've had every scenario thrown at me. All I can say about it is that it's going to shake everything up because he's Spike, that's what he does."
However, he did reveal that he plans to bring a certain Slayer to LA:
"Oh yeah. We think Sarah will be doing shows in sweeps if everything works out. And we sort of have our pick [of the Buffy cast]. We want them all. We just got to pay to fit 'em in.
"Our plan is for them to say they'd work, and then to think of a story. We have certain things on hold, ideas for a few of them, but we really wait until they give us the nod and then we go to town. Because if you spend a lot of time thinking of a story and then they suddenly can't, you're occasionally boned."
For those worried that after the failure Firefly Joss would abandon the fantasy genre, fear not, for Whedon has no plans to go straight.
"Anything that doesn't have some element of the bizarre in it, tends to put me to sleep," he said, "or I just don't know how to do it.
"I'm not developing anything this second. I'm still sort of recovering and spending my time trying to get Firefly made into a movie, knock on wood. I will be at some point this year, but whatever I do, I'll be pretty shocked if it isn't a genre show."
