Well, shes already appeared on Angel, and on one of my favourite episodes too!

It would make sense for her to turn up when Spike is around, theres definitely unresolved business there.

If its just for an episode or two, super, not sure about permanently tho

Is it spoiler-time already?

Some people from Buffy might be coming over. I know Sarah Michelle Gellar is going to come back to Angel for a few episodes and I know Alyson Hannigan would gladly come back for a couple episodes so she can be with her honey [Alexis Denisof]. Also, Mercedes McNabb as Harmony will be back.

You may want to check out David's City of Angel interview for more.

It's pretty much confirmed that Charisma and Vincent are no longer regulars, and that James Marsters will be.

Also casting sides went out a couple of weeks ago for a recurring (or poss regular) character called Eve, who will be the liaison between Angel & the senior partners.

Um... is that pretty much all there is just now?

Official Season Five premiere pictures are at www.comicscontinuum.com (that's where i've seen them, no doubt they'll probably be on the WB site as well)

Some nice shots. We see Spike and Angel, Spike all vamp-faced and a Harmony shot. A shot of Joss and David and one of Amy and David.

On a more feminine note David's hair is longer and i'm not entirely sure what to make of it. He actually looks quite fit body wise, like he's lost some weight.

There's a great shot of Team Angel all together in one of the W&H's conference rooms too.

Oh and forgot to mention, it seems as though the S5 premiere ep will be entitled "Conviction"

Just moving this from the rumours to spoilers thread:

Episode 1 Spoilers:

-In the teaser, Angel saves a woman who's being attacked by a vamp in an alley. He dusts the vamp.

- Angel is confronted by a group of paramilitary type guys with machine guns. Then several lawyers arrive on the scene. The leader of the paramilitary guys is Hauser. He tells Angel that they're his operations' team and they were sent by W&H to back him up.

- Then one of the lawyers comes up to Angel, telling him not to leave until they control the scene. W&H has been tracking Angel with a tracking monitor on his shirt.

- The woman who Angel just saved is giving a liability release form to fill out then asked by the lawyer to pose for pictures with Angel. The woman and Angel are both rather dumbfounded.

-Act 1 begins with two kindergartners going to class, talking about comic books. They walk into their classroom. As one of the boys sits down, something happens...

- A few scenes later, Angel goes to work the following day and complains to Gunn and Wes about W&H tracking him.

- Angel goes into his office, and Eve is there. She's the W&H liaison between Angel and the Senior Partners. She starts to explain what Angel is supposed to be doing, which is keeping his mostly demon and evil clients happy.

- A few scenes later, Wes is briefing Angel on a legal case W&H has. Lowlife criminal Corbin Fries and his thug lawyer, Desmond Keel, come in. Harmony is there as a secretary or assistant, offering everyone coffee.

- Fries goes on trial tomorrow. He's guilty and he gave W&H a lot of money before Angel started running the place to keep himself out of jail. But they're his law firm and they have to get him off, or he will drop a bomb and destroy all of California.

- A few scenes later, Fred is trying to page Gunn, but he's not answering. Lorne is questioning why Harmony is there.

- Angel is going out to meet with a sorcerer named Spanky who's connected to Fries. He's not going via the sewers, instead W&H has a fleet of sports cars in the garage for Angel. Hauser comes up to Angel, wanting to know if his unit is going on the mission.

- Angel goes to Spanky's ratty apartment and tells him he's there on W&H business and is let in. Angel wants to know what Spanky did for Fries. Angel threatens Spanky with a paddle. Spanky reveals he gave Fries a mystical container - one that a bomb could be placed in.

- Spanky tries to strangle Angel, but that's rather useless. Angel whacks Spanky across the room with the paddle.

- Fred & Knox are researching what work the W&H lab did for Fries.

Angel heads to the boy's school. Hauser is monitoring Lorne and Angel's conversation from a van. He's out to prove how things are done, so his team heads out to terminate the boy.

- Wes and Gunn arrive at the courtroom, right as the defense can't stall anymore and it's time for final arguments.
