Subject: Mercedes McNab at L.A. Comic-con yesterday

I asked her if she's going to be a regular, with her name in the opening credits, or if she's being kept as a recurring character. She confirmed that she's in every episode from now on, but as far as she knows they're not changing her billing status. She didn't think they'd film new opening credits in the middle of a season (Ha! Little she knows!), but said maybe they'd add her to the credits next season. (So #1: She's expecting another season, #2: She's expecting to be in it.)

Someone asked her who the guy in bed with Eve was, and she quickly replied that it was Lindsey, Angel's nemesis from the first couple seasons. (So it really is Lindsey, not another character played by CK. 95% sure before, but she seemed to confirm it.)

When asked about SMG coming over, she said it doesn't look like she'll be able to do it, at least not this season, but they're still hoping to get Aly at some point. (Which is what we've been told. No surprises.)

She said that JM is her favorite person to work with, since he's funny offstage, and such an intense actor that she acts better in scenes with him because he gets everyone around him caught up in the scene. It didn't take much for Spike to persuade her to go have a nooner because Harm had been slightly pining for him ever since they split up, but she'd like to see Harmony in a relationship with someone else who'd appreciate her more. She half-jokingly suggested Lorne, because he's the only one on the show who hasn't "gotten any tail," but thinks Harm and Angel would be a good pairing (natch).

On the whole, I wasn't too impressed with her in a con setting. She really didn't seem to know what to think of fans, and seemed uncomfortable around them. She wasn't impolite, and when she accidently was she quickly apologized, but she wasn't nearly as friendly and excited to meet fans as most other Jossverse actors I've seen. She didn't seem happy to be there, and her smile seemed forced. And I had to pay her $20 just to sign my Sunnydale Yearbook...
