What if Doyle was brought back...how do you think he would act towards Angel and his new system?
We got a glimpse of Cordy...
(RIP Glenn Quinn..pretended the actor never past ofcourse)
 
(Sorry, I haven't seen it until now)

With the comic book forum, there wouldn't be any problem whatsoever in literally resurrecting Doyle. It could, in fact, make a quite interesting situation if he suddenly popped up during the last arc of Season 8, claiming that Whistler was now evil and couldn't be trusted.
 
Eh, I wouldn't like it. Doyle's death was incredibly noble. Bringing him back would ruin it, IMO.

I agree, I do not understand how almost everyone in the Buffyverse is always getting resurrected or has to turn evil at some point. Considering Doyle very much likely went to the same place Buffy did, I think he would hate being back. However, in the end he would probably adjust and continue fighting the fight. 🙂

Oh, since this is the S5 forum.. I probably think Doyle would have been completely against working for WR&H, just like Cordy. I don't really know if he'd join Angel there.

I think Doyle would have had some of the same feeling as Cordy. Then he would have the trust in Angel and come around. Doyle was never to judgmental he reminded me of Willow in that way. He had his loyalties. If the actor had never passed away I would have loved to see him again. So sad 🙁
Since like White Avenger said the comic books have more options that would be interesting to see how the storyline continues if they choose to do that.
 
Like GrrArghx said, I wouldn't like it if he was ressurected because his death had a purpose and it was sort of his time to leave the show.
 
I think if Doyle would have been resurrected, I'd want to see him in a very small role. Yes, the initial episode where he is brought back. But I'd forsee the episode going in the direction of him feeling almost betrayed by Angel. That he gave his life to protect them from evil and save the world and now Angel & Co is helping the enemy. I think he'd disappear for a while after that, but then maybe come back for on episode. Like how everyone visited someone before the last battle, maybe instead of seeing Connor (i hate connor) he would have seen Doyle.
 
I agree that bringing Doyle back would be the wrong thing to do, even now that they *could* in the world of Comic Books. It would cheapen his sacrifice if they just brought him back good 'n new all those years later. But that being said, it's fun to think of how he might have reacted to Angel taking over W&H.

My guess is that he'd be hesitant about the change just like Cordelia, but I think in the end he might have taken the news a little better. He was only around for less than a season, so Doyle didn't get to see a lot of the horrible things the company did before Angel took over. Sure they were the big evil law firm, but I don't think it would be quite as impossible for him to imagine the company turning over a new leaf.

I imagine him staying pretty quiet and neutral, on the subject of W&H until he had met the team and seen all there is to see at headquarters. Then I think it would be a lot like the scene between Cordy and Angel in "You're Welcome". He'd tell Angel how worried about him he is, warn him not to loose sight of the person he was when he came to LA. Maybe even crack a joke about the fact that he died.

Then I'd expect he would have taken on (like Hero said) a smaller role, appearing every couple episodes with a vision before disappearing into LA for a while. In any case I couldn't imagine he would be too keen on working in such a big company. I think if they had brought him back, the writers really would have had to get creative to write him into a regular role that wasn't associated with W&H.
