In a recent interview with SMGFan.com, Cordelia Chase herself Charisma Carpenter finally spoke out about her surprise departure from the vampire series "Angel" and her upcoming guest starring role in the 100th episode which airs next week. Have you and Joss talked about that situation and was it a difficult decision for you to go back for the 100th episode considering how things unfolded?
Um, yes and no. First, to answer have I spoken to Joss about it, no we haven’t, there’s really no point. There’s really nothing to say. The day I ended up on the set to return for the 100th episode was a lovely day and he was there, he wrote a note and left flowers for me in my trailer expressing his gratitude for my return and that it meant a lot to him and the story would probably be one of the sweetest they’d ever told. And that’s enough for me. I don’t have any need to hold on to anything
You don't want to dwell on it?
Yeah, I mean it's just, it's turned out to be a really great thing. You know, sometimes and this is kinda cliché but sometimes...well, I was laboring on whether to return or not return or how to proceed myself. Sometimes decisions get made and it ends up being God doing for you what you couldn't do for yourself. It's just turned out for me to be a really positive thing. So it's hard to harbor any resentment or ill feelings for something that has turned out to be a wonderful thing.
What can we expect in next week's show?
You’re really gonna like the 100th episode. There’s stuff that comes through that has probably been like 4 years accumulated. It’s just a summation of the last 4 years. Like everything. The gamut, the emotion, the funny. They wrote the script with range. I know that in some cases it was there because it was there. I think with David and I, we had scenes that, I don’t even have the right words to serve what I’m trying to say here. What I mean is that it’s a strong, strong and powerful episode full of what most of the show is. You know, there’s fighting, there’s humor, there’s sex, there’s love and forbidden love. There’s tears, it’s just all there and it’s a really special episode.
