Even Joss Whedon is talking about the departure of Doyle (David Quinn) on Angel. While talking to Eon Magazine, Whedon was asked about the plethora of rumors regarding Doyle prompting the response, "Well, our big surprise has been ruined. We had a thing going where we were gonna take away [Angel’s] mentor figure -- shake up his life a little bit. Then, of course, it got out as it always does. But, yes, this was our idea from the beginning."
Regarding recent word of good ratings and an additional nine episode order for the new series, Whedon revealed what was ahead commenting, "I am very pleased that Angel is doing well. It’s very gratifying. We just got picked up for the back nine, so we’ll be finishing up the season. We have a crossover coming up in sweeps that is going to be kind of tremendous. Although the two shows will remain separate, [Angel] will appear on Buffy and [Buffy] will appear on Angel. It’s pretty gut-wrenching stuff."
