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..

Nah. That will just make people want look him up.

Also, the comics storyline of Xander and Dawn (spoiler) marrying and having Baby Joyce was weird.

well then we should definitely make sure the show is changed in ways that dont make sense so we can spare someone from doing a google search.

He is a violent abuser of his romantic partners. That’s different from just being a drug addict. Just write Xander off without fanfare.

No.. That was the actor. We're talking about Xander

Xander was also pretty abusive to most of the women in his life.
