Death to the cast

Many of the main Angel cast have been killed or near death. Angel was killed and vamped in 1753; Doyle was killed in Hero; Gunn was electrocuted by Gwen and revived in Ground State; Wesley’s throat was slashed in Sleep Tight, he was shot in The Thin Dead Line and finally killed in Not Fade Away; Cordelia was comatose for most of season five before dying in You’re Welcome; and Fred was killed when Illyria took over her body in A Hole in the World.

      You forgot to mention that Wesley died in Not Fade Away.

    2. MagicBone says:

      Well, that’s just depressing.

    3. TwoToGo-Grave says:

      Plus Lorne got his head chopped off (only to have it put back on) and Lindsey also died in the finale. Also, Conner sort of died on ‘Home’ when Angel killed him with that knife in order to start his new life.

    4. Mel says:

      Did Angel kill Connor with a knife…I thought he just knocked him unconscious with a punch.

      Am I thinking of the same scene as you….the one in the sport shop when he had the hostages and the bombs?

    5. MagicBone says:

      Mel, Angel didn’t want Connor to kill himself, Cordy and the random hostages so he told Connor that he loved him and he was gonna prove it and he slit Connor’s throat. That must’ve been the trigger for the spell to start working, with everyone’s new memories.

    6. TwoToGo-Grave says:

      As far as Angel killing Connor in ‘Home’, I just love the way that it brings the “The Father Will Kill the Son” prophecy to frution (even though the prophecy was false), as well as that it was never even mentioned that it was (sort of) fulfilled. I love even more that the makers of the show were willing to cover the real prophecy as well by have Conner battle and kill Saijon (or however you spell Jack Conley’s character’s name).

      Does Wesley really die in Not Fade Away? I thought that it was left unknown. Maybe I’m just an optimist.

    8. MagicBone says:

      No, Cyvus Vail (I think that was his name) killed him and then Illyria blew up his head. With her fist. I love that part.

    9. Mel says:

      I get so sad when Illyria pretends to be Fred for Wesley’s last moments.

      And then when she stands up and punches a hole in Cyvus Vail’s head as she is turning back to Illyria - excellent!

    10. Mel says:

      I know why he did it, so the new memories would kick in…..and I can’t believe that all the times I have watched that episode I have never noticed the knife! I thought he just knocked him out.

      Just goes to show, you learn something new all the time on here.

      I stand corrected!

    11. Mullsen says:

      Lorne, Wesley, Spike and Angel were all killed by Illyria in one of the time-jumps in “Time Bomb”, as well. Harmony, who became a main character in season 5, is a vampire and has therefore died.

    12. Mysteryend says:

      How sad is it when Wesley dies and the whole Illyria:’Would you like me to lie to you now?’ and she turns back to fred I cried so much!!
