Carpenter was one of the few actors to recur on both Buffy and Angel, playing Cordelia Chase for seven years before she was eventually killed off in Angel’s 100th episode (after being in a coma for some time). Her 86-ing came after prolonged creative and personal differences with Joss Whedon, matters that also included Carpenter’s pregnancy. Carpenter only agreed to appear in the 100th episode if Cordelia didn’t die, and only found out after the signing the contract for the episode that she would, indeed. Despite her love for Joss, Carpenter states that their relationship became incredibly strained after that incident, which got even worse when she was not invited to be a part of Dr. Horrible. (She assumed she would be, but Felicia Day was cast instead.) Carpenter and Whedon later patched things up and now say they would gladly work together again.
