If they do Faith I wonder if they'll be able to bring any of the other Buffy cast members without making it into a continuity heavy show. Or if they could even bring any of the other cast members TO the show. I know DB Woodside is busy with 24, SMG is a no-go, as with Alyson Hannigan (Hannigan is on the excellent "How I Met Your Mother"). I could only see them bringing in Clem for comic relief (I hope).
Though this may not even be a deal for Faith. It may lead to another series. I honestly think it all depends on whether Joss wants to get involved and his slate is pretty full right now.

I hope it is a deal for Faith, but this is the same Fox that cancelled Firefly before it could even get off the ground. I just hope at least Eliza gets to star in a decent show, as she could use a successful project for once. Faith would be best, mind. I think Ripper is going to happen, though, at least. So the Buffyverse may yet still have some life in it, either way. As for who to bring back with Faith? That's a tough one, as the best characters to support Faith would be problematic to return. Spike would work, except I fear James Marsters may be aging past the role. Shame Wesley's death on Angel was so great... Wes would have worked quite well too. I kind of would be interested to see what would happen if Faith met Illyria, though...

That was a pun, guys... I don't think they're doing anything Faith-related, sadly. The idea seems to be that they want to create a really good staring vehicle for Eliza coz they rate her THAT highly. Which given her talent does not surprise me at all.

Heh. I just thought it would be fun to speculate if it ever happened. No, I realistically expect that Faith's story would be told in Buffy Season 8 more than anything. And I'm not hopeful for much more out of the Buffyverse beyond maybe Ripper, which seems to be in the works. I do hope they give Eliza a decent show this time, though. She has the talent, just hasn't gotten the right material since Buffy. We really don't need another Tru Calling. ;D
