Strange that Amy Acker is still listed as "Winifred "Fred" Burkle" rather than "Illyria".

Heh, always observant me didn't even notice that.

On a semi-related note, I remember hearing something about the opening credits being changed from Fred to Illyria. Am I just insane (well, duh) or are they actually doing that?

I hope that's true, it'd be good, and while they're at it, they should add Mercedes (not gonna happen, she's still additional cast), I was completely expecting to hate Harmony when I heard she was coming over, but she's been a good addition to the cast, seeing as she's more-or-less been accepted as a member of the gang, and she's in it every week, I reckon she should be added to the opening.

I think Mercedes said she thought it was a possibility for season 6 (when it was believed to be a cert (ah, happy times)), last year Andy was added since they didn't know if the show was getting a 5th season, and Joss wanted to put Andy in just in case.

Did anybody else notice that David Greenwalt is directing #20? How very cool is that?

I may be missing something here (and I haven't read this article), but I thought the credits read "Amy Acker", not "Fred".

i think +Faith+ was referring to the images that accompanied the 'Amy Acker' title... they would be changed from Fred images to Illyria images

No Gwen then, huh? :(

Sorry to be a pain, but what images are we talking about here?

Edited to say: Never mind, I understand now.

On the second page of that thread, the cast & guest star list for the finale is there now.

Glad the finale was at least written in part by Joss, from what I understand he writes quite abit for a lot of episodes and isn't credited, so hopefully a sizeable chunk of this is Joss.

A little dissapointed that Sarah isn't on the cast list, still not entirely convinced she won't be in it though. I want the last scene to be Spike and Angel talking, coming to terms with each other, they stare off at the night sky, and the screen starts to fade, then Buffy runs in, "Spike, I just found out you're alive, I still love you", Spike turns to Angel "F*ck you mate" and runs off with Buffy, the screen fades on an incredibly pissed of Angel's face.
