The IMDb reports that a replacement has been named for Sarah Michelle Gellar, who will be leaving at the end of this season. Faith will become the new central character of the program, and Buffy will have the occasional cameo. Dunno if there’s going to be a name change, but there kind of has to be, right?
just read on the news sideboard faith isnt gonna take over the show, and in one of the sifi mags it said anya is leaving for a movie career so there wont be many left for a new show
