No, it was explicitly stated at the start. She said something like "meet my big brother, Jeffrey (no actual idea) Donovan" to Pete and Myka.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I believe his name is Joshua Donovan.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Ginger, I suspect your knowledge of the actual CDC may lead to some unintentional hilarity if you ever watch The Walking Dead.

There almost always seems to be either hilarity or annoyance at anything set in a town you know. For example, five minutes into the first episode of Vanished, they referred to the intersection of two streets that are parallel and went downhill from there.

Yes, well, the CDC building is portrayed as being rather technologically sophisticated.

The real CDC finally cracked down on security a couple of years after 9-11. It would be kind of insane to let anyone film there, since that's where they keep the really scary stuff. Right after 9-11, in a feat of cognitive dissonance difficult to fathom, Congress voted down funding the CDC had been allocated for a new main building to replace the building where the hot zone lab was located, a badly built and way-too-small building with persistent leaks. They finally got the funding back and that new building is pretty high tech. The CDC is on a campus with several buildings, surrounded by high chain-link fence.

Re: Fringe
That is really, really, really fucked up.
And consider what show I'm talking about here.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Fringe totally tried to top Donnie Pfaster. It was way creepy in the dancing scene, but the emotional story was the A plot. Having the creepy guy drive the heartbreak home was an extra twist of the knife though.
Oh, Olivia.
