Joyce’s leaving

Kristine Sutherland had planned to leave the show, or make less appearances, during season four to spend more time in Italy. She was told by Joss Whedon that he had big plans for her in season five. She said in an SFX magazine interview:

“I never asked Joss, but I got the impression that it had been planned for a very long time. I knew before I came to Italy at the start of the fourth season. I probably wouldn’t have known that early, but when I went and told Joss that I was planning on going away for a year, he was like, ‘But you have to come back - I need to kill you! And it’s really important!’ I said, ‘It’s okay- I’m coming back!’”
