It’s hard to go out with a superhero, as my husband knows.
Angel is a hard act to follow, but I think it wasn’t the fact that he wasn’t a super guy that kept them apart but that [Riley] felt he had to be a super guy. Maybe that’s what that episode is about, trying to be something stronger than what you are. Trying to be someone who you’re not is hard on any relationship. But now he’s in Belize and having great adventures.
Was it your responsibility to set up the scene for his leaving?
I think Joss knew at that point that their relationship was doomed. I don’t remember what I was told to do, but we were working towards that end. A sad end for Riley.
Was Riley right to feel inadequate?
