Der Whedonverse Poll ist geschlossen und das recht eindeutige Ergebnis steht fest. Die Fans wollen mehr von Spike sehen. Hier der Wortlaut von Kristin:
Spike It! Sure, the shows were called Buffy and Angel, but the results of our recent Whedonverse Poll prove that it's Spikey--James Marsters--who has the never-say-die, die-hard following. Granted, I'm not surprised by the winner, given the postcards, emails, fruit baskets and flowers over the past months (I also just received bags of M&M candies with "James Rocks" printed on them and am currently nursing an overly yummified stomach).

That said, you know I'm going to show you the poll results, but before I do, I just want to say: These are the real numbers. No cheating. No tinkering. So, any of you still harboring conspiracy theories from our Save One Show poll can rest assured.

More than 36,000 of you voted, and you said these are the top 10 characters you'd most like to see in a Whedonverse spinoff:

1. Spike (James Marsters) 42%
2. Faith (Eliza Dushku) 21%
3. Willow (Alyson Hannigan) 8%
4. Illyria (Amy Acker) 6%
5. Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) 5%
6. Xander (Nicholas Brendon) 4%
7. Wesley (Alexis Denisof) 3%
8. Connor (Vincent Kartheiser) 2%
9. Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) 2%
10. Tara (Amber Benson) 1%

Anya (Emma Caulfield) also earned one percent, but garnered fewer votes than Tara; and Lorne (Andy Hallett), Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg), the Geek Trio (Danny Strong, Tom Lenk and Adam Busch) and Gunn (J. August Richards) all pulled in less than one percent of the total.

Neue Rolle für Christian Kane:
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Former "Angel" co-star Christian Kane and three-time Emmy nominee JoBeth Williams have joined the casts of pilots at CBS.

"Trapper John, M.D." star Gregory Harrison and Jason Wiles have also taken parts in projects set up at the network.

Kane, who played revenge-driven Wolfram & Hart lawyer Lindsey McDonald on "Angel," has taken a part in "American Crime," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The show, one of many being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer TV this pilot season, revolved around a female prosecutor (Jennifer Finnigan, "Committed") who's also a new mother.
In addition to "Angel," Kane's credits include "Friday Night Lights" and "Just Married." He also has a part in TNT's forthcoming miniseries "Into the West."

Williams, who stars in the TNT movie "14 Hours" this weekend, will play Tiffani Thiessen's mom in "Stroller Wars," a comedy about a young couple (Thiessen and Darren Ritchie) who are adjusting to being parents. It would be her first regular sitcom role since she starred in CBS's there-and-gone "Payne" in 1999.

She earned an Emmy nomination in 1995 for a guest-starring role on "Frasier" to go along with nods in the 1980s for the telefilms "Adam" and "Baby M."

Harrison, meanwhile, will star opposite Susie Essman in an untitled comedy co-created by the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" actress. The actor, who played the president in TBS's "First Daughter" movies and starred in the short-lived series "Safe Harbor," will play Essman's new husband, who moves her from the city to the suburbs.

Finally, Wiles has joined Jeri Ryan, David Arquette, Christine Taylor and Johnathon Schaech in the cast of "Commuters," a drama about three couples who live in the New York suburbs and take the train to work in Manhattan. Wiles plays Bosco on NBC's "Third Watch," which is ending its run this season.
