Joss Whedon, co-creator of The WB's vampire series Angel, told SCI FI Wire that Wesley will rejoin the group in the upcoming season four. But it will take time for Wesley (played by Alexis Denisof) to rebuild trust with Angel (David Boreanaz) and the rest of the gang, Whedon said in an interview. "It's a complex issue," he said. "It's not going to be simple. He's learned a lot about trust in the last year, and he's going to be dealing with that. It's not going to be like the old days."

Denisof told SCI FI Wire that he looks forward to continuing the exploration of Wesley's exclusion. "Emotions are running high right now, and I think it will be a good few episodes before it's resolved," he said. "I know they have some very exciting plans for next year, and I think it's an interesting turn for the character to be isolated and have to find his own way for a while."

As for Wesley's relationship with Wolfram and Hart lawyer Lila Morgan (Stephanie Romanov), Denisof said, "I know of a couple of ideas they've had, and I don't think they've completely decided yet [where it will go]. I think they were surprised that there was such chemistry between the characters, so I expect they may explore it. I think in some shape or form, now that it's started, it will [continue], but I don't see them running off and getting married."

Romanov herself told SCI FI Wire she was unsure where the Lila-Wesley relationship would go, but looks forward to exploring more of Lila's background, such as this season's revelation that she has a mother in a nursing home. "They're showing more sides to Lila now, so I get to play more interesting things," Romanov said. "You get a little bit better idea where she's coming from, and they've got some plans up their sleeve as to a storyline that I find intriguing, which I won't speak of now, but I look forward to all of that." Angel moves to a Sunday timeslot in the fall.

What ya'll think?
 
Well, obviously I'm glad that Wesley will be joining AI again, but I really hope they do explore with the whole Lilah-Wesley and "the darker side of Wesley" next season for a bit. I'm fascinated by that storyline.
 
I'm so glad that Wes is gonna be with the gang again. Hearing it makes me so much happier! 😀 I just hope that Angel will finally forgive him for what happened. Wes deserves forgiveness.
 
It makes a lot of sense. Both realistically and in Joss Whedon-world, it would take much time, soul searching, and gnashing of teeth for Wesley to become part of the AI group again.

As for the relationship with Lilah, I think it's safe to say that however it develops, it *ain't* gonna be warm and fuzzy.
 
Oh no. Please don't mention IT (aka Lilah) or the mistake *shudder shudder.* I can't think about it.
But yey! Wes is back, wohoo, he needs to be forgiven. But now im confused. i want wes and fred, but she is so cute with gunn. Im confused now 🙁
Oh well, im so glad to hear Wes will be back will the AI team! It hasnt been the same without my gorgeous rogue demon hunter!
*Cordy*

Yeah, Wes and Fred need to get together. Although, I really do like Fred and Gunn together. But, hey, Wesley liked Fred first!
