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.

All I have to say is YES!!!
 
Oh it's good to have it confirmed 😀 and of coure it will add to the speculation on faith spinoff's/the end of buffy etc.
 
Excellent! Faith's alway's good for some action and cynicism.
 
'bout time we got a little Faith brought back into the show!
 
Yay!! Faith's back! She brought some excitement and drama the last time she was on...can't wait to see how it all works out.
 
It's about time Faith came back. I wonder if Faith might help more than she hurts this time. I think evil willow pretty much made everything Faith did seem small in comparison.

I don't think Willow made faith's actions look any smaller...they remained just the same... The difference between the two were that Willow was affected by the dark magic that was within her and magnified by vengeance, and pain...Faith however did everything with a clear head and for the sheer fun of it all, as well as not having remorse until the very end...by comparison i'd say Faith still looks just as bad...
 
The things Evil Willow did were definitely *grosser* (e.g., the flaying of Warren), but I don't know if they were *worse*. Legally they were both cold-blooded murderers (and attempted murderers). Emotionally they were both seriously unstable, in different ways for different reasons.

Maybe we're trying to compare apples and oranges here...
 
Maybe, but she WAS bad, we don't know if she still is, and than what about the SITs? Nothing concerning the 8th season is certain yet!
