Dushku staked out for 'Buffy'
Aug. 29, 2002
It's good news for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fans: Evil vampire slayer Faith is set to return to the UPN drama series. Eliza Dushku has signed on to reprise her role as Faith this season in five episodes of "Buffy" and three episodes of the WB Network's spinoff "Angel," both from writer-producer Joss Whedon and 20th Century Fox TV. Dushku appeared on "Buffy" alongside the show's star Sarah Michelle Gellar from 1998-2000. She also guest-starred as Faith on "Angel." The actress' busy feature schedule has kept her away from the "Buffy" franchise, but now she has committed to appear in the final five episodes of the original series this season. There has been speculation that this might be "Buffy's" last year, but reps for the studio stress that no decision has been made. Dushku's feature credits include "Bring It On" and "Soul Survivors." The actress, who is shooting "Wrong Turn," next appears in "City by the Sea" opposite Robert De Niro and Frances McDormand. She is repped by ICM and the Firm. (Nellie Andreeva)

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Faith is back.
The rogue vampire slayer played by Eliza Dushku will return to both "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and its spinoff, "Angel," in the coming season.
Little is known about how, exactly, Faith will affect the storylines of each show. Dushku is scheduled to appear on the final five episodes of "Buffy's" season and three episodes of "Angel."
When we last saw Faith, she suffered a breakdown while fighting Angel (David Boreanaz) and agreed to turn herself in to authorities for several crimes, including killing a human. Angel visited her in prison in that show's second-season premiere, and she's presumably been there ever since.
The characters on both shows will have some big changes to deal with this season.
On "Buffy," Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg) will enter a rebuilt Sunnydale High School, and Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) will find a job more meaningful than flipping burgers at the DoubleMeat Palace. There's also the matter of Spike (James Marsters) having his soul back and Willow (Alyson Hannigan) continuing to try to kick her magic habit.
It's also been reported that the season will feature sort of a greatest-hits parade of Big Bads from previous seasons, including the Master, the mayor and Glory.
Angel, meanwhile, has to figure out how to free himself from the watery tomb in which his son Connor (Vincent Kartheiser) and the seriously off-balance Justine (Laurel Holloman) encased him in last season's finale. Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) has become sort of otherworldly being, while Wolfram and Hart's Lilah (Stephanie Romanov) is trying to lure Wesley (Alexis Denisof) to the dark side.
The "Buffy" season premiere is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 24 on UPN. "Angel" debuts Sunday, Sept. 29 on The WB.
