I never said Buffy and Angel didn't love each other. They did. But what they had was first love, and they both moved on. Buffy fell in love with Spike, Angel with Cordelia.
I think these quote's from Jane Espenson portrays how I feel about Spuffy, Bangel, and Cangel perfectly.
Do you have a favourite season or story arc in particular?
I really loved Faith and the Mayor even though I never wrote for Faith. I thought that was great fun. I enjoyed the Nerds - always! They were always so funny. I've been interested in Principal Wood this year. But my number one has got to be the Buffy and Spike love story. I think that is just a gorgeous story. How do you follow-up her romance with Angel? I like the romance with Spike better. I'm more interested in the heat between those two characters because I felt Buffy and Angel had romantic love. Spike and Buffy have something so much more complicated that it's got that romance and all this other stuff on top of it which makes it so interesting for me. -- Jane Espenson (TV Zone Interview, 2002)
Some would say Angel and Buffy really had more of an idealized first love while Spike and Buffy have the more adult, messy kind of love which is more realistic?
That's right. It's not idealized and it's just so often ugly and yet when James Marsters does stuff where you look in his face and you go "Oh, my God, he loves her so much!" Ahh! It's just so wonderful. -- Jane Espenson (TV Zone Interview, 2002)
"Angel and Cordelia, have a mature love between two old souls" -Jane Espenson
That's how I feel, I believe that Angel and Buffy had first love. It was real, yes, passionate yes, but they both moved on, like all first loves do, to someone that was more their equal, that better fit the people they became later on, than the character's they were.
