I thought that Brendon's alcoholism limited the ways he could be used?
That's been implied, but I understand why he wouldn't spell it out in an interview for a new product. There's just nothing for him to gain by bringing it up; "the character's story was done" can be read here as equivalent to "creative differences." And also, as we weren't on the set, we can't know -- it might well have been a spiral where Joss put Xander in the background, so Nick got frustrated and drank more, so even less was written for Xander, ad infinitum.
In any case, I wish him the best.
wow I totally never heard the scuttlebutt about NB having an alcohol problem.
(I've been out of this thread for a spell)
He announced it when he went into rehab.
What do you think Drusilla is doing now?

Me either! But suddenly the change in his physicality becomes clear. Dammit.
Isn't CC on Veronica Mars? I thought she and Joss parted on somewhat bad terms, but with him recommending VM I'm guessing it wasn't bad enough for him to hold a grudge.
Any grudges aside, CC's on VM this new season, which makes it unlikely Joss has seen her in it.
True, but there are extremely petty people who would refrain from recommending a show if they knew that someone would be on it.
I suspect it's more that Joss is looking at the writing and entire show-ness of it, rather than caring a lot about what actors are cast.

Heh. It seems so simple when you put it like *that*.

Have you read his whole post gushing over VM? Total fanboy. In the good way.
