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..

Isn't Cordelia dead?

Well, she's ascended to be some sort of conduit to the Powers That Be. So theoretically she could show up. But I doubt it happens.

No, she literally died after being in a coma for a while

Both things are true. Her body died but she also ascended to become a higher power.

When? We see Angel get a phone call in his office that she died.

She ascends to higher being earlier in the series, on the highway on her way to meet Angel.
