SPIKE TALKS ABOUT ANGEL
E Online chatted to new Angel cast member, James Marsters, to see how Spikes settling in on the WB series. ‘They can’t stand each other,’ James says of the relationship between Angel and Spike. ‘Spike knows Buffy really loves Angel and not him. So, he hates Angel, of course. And Angel knows Spike’s been there more recently, so he’s going to hate Spike. At the same time, it’s complicated, because there’s a lot of love down there, too.’ ‘Over on the other show, Spike was at the end very heartfelt, sincere, trying hard to gain redemption,’ James said. ‘And that’s still true underneath it, but the main thing here is Spike is just making life very difficult for Angel. I get to be very funny and snide and just an absolute jerk and completely selfish–and that’s just wonderful to play.’
Old Spike?
I’ve heard a lot [from fans] that they wanted the old Spike,’ James said. ‘They wanted a lot more flavor of the bad boy, and that’s right where we’re living now. So, anybody who was tired of Spike being lovey-dovey and all sorry for the bad things he did, tune in to Angel. You’re gonna get your Spike back.’ Marsters confirms he will be a ghost for a bit.
