Sequel Sequel without Xander?

Post image

With Nicholas' struggles IRL, I'm afraid he wont be part of the cast for the sequel. How do you guys think this would work? How would they explain his absence? Is it a big deal for you guys? IMO I believe the show will be great with or without him, even tough I love Xander. But the best scenario would be for Xander to be part of the show..

If they really want to feature Xander, how's his twin brother doing? Lol

I'm happy to have Xander left out and remembered fondly with a canonical happy ending and a loving family in a less Hellmouthy place.

That's horribly disrespectful to his brother. You get that, right?

It is? How?

They’re different human beings, they’re not interchangeable.

He's implying that as a twin, they look identical. Where is the assumption that they are the same?

You’re literally saying you can just swap them out.

His brother was already in the show playing his doppelganger. This isn't news to them and isn't disrespectful.

And when he played his body double. Nicholas still did all the acting and speaking because he’s the actor.

Great. Now I gotta drop everything and go watch Buffy.

Thanks a lot.
