Wow, cool, it would be nice if it was real, but I thought Faith was going to die, well I think a change of plans for Joss would be in stores then.

Buffy Faith Spinoff Mulled
Christopher Buchanan"”president of Mutant Enemy, the production company behind UPN's Buffy the Vampire Slayer"”told SCI FI Wire that producers are considering a spinoff starring Eliza Dushku as the renegade Slayer Faith, but that no deals have been signed yet. "I believe that's something that's being bounced around, along with other things, too," Buchanan said in an interview.
Dushku is currently shooting guest spots on Buffy and its spinoff series, The WB's Angel. Fan Web sites have carried rumors recently that Dushku had signed to star in a spinoff, with some rumors suggesting the contract was for two years. Buchanan said that he was unaware of any such deal. "Certainly, because she's around doing Buffy and Angel, I know there've been discussions," Buchanan said. But, he added, "We're kind of sitting on our hands until UPN and Fox figure out what they want to do."
Though Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar has made no official announcements yet, it's expected that she won't sign up for more Buffy once her contract expires at the end of the current seventh season. Speculation has centered on whether UPN will renew the series without Gellar or seek a spinoff.
IS SLAYER FAITH THE NEXT BUFFY?
February 10, 2003 --
PRODUCERS of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" are close to creating a spinoff starring the renegade Slayer Faith.
Fan Web sites have been abuzz in recent days with reports that Eliza Dushku, who plays Faith, had signed to star in a spinoff.
Then, over the weekend, Christopher Buchanan, president of Mutant Enemy, the production company behind "Buffy," told SCI FI Wire, the web site for the SCI FI channel, that the Faith spin-off is was a real possibility.
Though "Buffy" star Sarah Michelle Gellar has made no official announcements yet, it's expected that she will leave the series after her contract expires at the end of the current seventh season.
Speculation has swirled around what UPN will keep the series going without Gellar or seek a spinoff.
"We're kind of sitting on our hands until UPN and Fox [which produces the series] figure out what they want to do," Buchanan says.
Faith, a moody loner who seemed too enthusiastic about killing demons, made her first appearance in the show's third season. Once Buffy's friend, she was lured over to the dark side for one of the most-famous "Buffy" episodes of all time, Sunnydale High's graduation-day conflagration.
