Angel lived in the shadows for a long time Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but this is generally unavoidable for most TV spin-offs. After season 3 Buffy ether, protagonist, angel, left the show and moved to Los Angeles to help people with various supernatural issues while fighting demonic forces. Angel in the end it turned out a little darker and gloomier than Buffyand while this show was pretty much a coming of age story, Angel it was like a show about surviving the routine of adulthood.
It ran for five seasons, often approaching (and sometimes matching) the quality level of its better-known parent show. Like Buffy, Angel benefited from having great characters, with 10 main cast members contributing to its 110-episode run. The show’s characters were rarely wholly good or wholly evil, instead being used to explore complex issues involving morality. They were all interesting, but not all equally attractive, and they are ranked below from least to most likeable.
10 Connor
Without a doubt, the least favorite character from Angel Connor (Vincent Kartheiser), who was introduced in the third season as the protagonist’s son. Although he was born in the third season, he is blown away to another dimension where time feels different, and returns towards the end of the season as a teenager. He stays throughout season 4 and makes several appearances in the final season.
While the comparable Dawn character from Buffy you can relax a bit because he’s a teenager, it’s hard to find something forgiving with Connor. He is especially wayward and becomes the focus of Season 4, the show’s least loved season. His reduced role in the fifth season redeems him a bit, but for most of his screen time, he remains a largely obnoxious presence on the show.
9 Harmony Kendall
Appears in the first five seasons Buffy as a recurring character Harmony (Mercedes McNab) became a member Angelic the main line-up in the last segment of the last season. IN Buffyshe starts out as a popular high school student before transforming into a vampire and then once she jumps into Angelshe spends most of her episodes as Angel’s personal secretary while he runs the law firm Wolfram & Hart.
Even though Harmony is low on the attractiveness rankings, she is still far from being hated. She shows some signs of growing up after her school days and gives up her attempts to be evil like other vampires, but remains unreliable and dangerously unpredictable until the very end. Angelic the final.
8 Charles Gunn
Angel it took a while to find himself as a show (much like the show’s main character spent most of five seasons trying to find himself). This is evident early on, thanks to the way the first season starts with a small core cast, drafts one actor surprisingly quickly, and then gradually builds a core team of main characters over the course of the first and second seasons.
Gunn is one such addition to the main cast, appearing towards the end of the first season and remaining until the very end. It’s not so much about character or performance J. August Richards it seems somewhat depressing; especially since the writers didn’t always seem to know what to do with Gunn, which affects how engaged viewers can be. He’s a perfectly fine character, but he doesn’t really stand out from the crowd, which probably makes viewers feel neutral about him more than anything else.
7 Thorn
Thorn (James Masters) was one of Buffy most significant and memorable characters, and although he died at the end of this show, he was brought back to life in Angel. He had to spend the entire last season as the lead actor in Angelgiving him and the show’s protagonist a kind of buddy comedic dynamic that was often very entertaining.
He’s actually a little nicer. Angel what he could be Buffy, but his limited amount of time on the show - and the way he seems to be there mostly for comic relief - affects his rankings here a bit. He is charismatic and funny in a way that allows him to do his part, but he doesn’t have as much to do as the show’s best characters.
6 Angel
Angel (David Boreanaz) was a huge part of the early Buffy seasons, as it was revealed (at the time) that he was a vampire. However, there was obvious potential in allowing him to have his own show and no longer be tied directly to the world. Buffyand five seasons Angel (for the most part) made it clear that making an Angel spin-off was the right decision.
Despite being largely invulnerable, Angel was a surprisingly human, flawed, sometimes sympathetic, and compelling anti-hero/protagonist. Like the main character Buffyhis status as a protagonist meant that he could not always be as attractive as his funnier or more charismatic co-stars, but even with his faults, he can hardly be described as anything close to obnoxious.
5 Allen Francis Doyle
Doyle (Glenn Quinn) time for Angel was short but memorable. He appears as one of the three main characters in the first half of the first season, but is killed surprisingly early, dying a hero, sacrificing his life for others.
There’s every chance that had he stayed longer he could have become a more developed and/or complex character, but his short time in the spotlight ensures he’s hard to fault. The brevity of his screen time is ambiguous considering he didn’t have more time to get nicer perhaps, but for the time he was there and for the purpose he served, he was very likeable.
4 Wesley Wyndham-Pryce
Season 3 of Buffy WesleyAlexis Denisof) was presented as a bumbling, stupid authority figure and as someone who held the same position as Rupert Giles but lacked intelligence and professionalism. When he first enters Angel in the middle of the first season, he is by no means an antagonist, but still a bit of an idiot.
This changes a lot, because Angel continues as he becomes one of the show’s most complex characters and someone with a strong moral code that sometimes clashes with other characters. He has the best spine growth, and while audiences may not always support his actions, overall he is a strong, compelling, and in many ways likable character.
3 Cordelia Chase
Like Wesley, Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) undergoes significant character growth after jumping from Buffy To Angel. In the previous series, she was a rather wayward and sometimes violent popular girl in high school, although she began to mature around season 3. Buffy. After leaving that show before its fourth season, she continued to become less selfish and more heroic. Angel.
In many ways, she is the most consistent “heart” of the show throughout the series, appearing in all five seasons (though not as a main cast member in season five). Some fans may have had a slightly different take on the character’s arc during the controversial Season 4, but at least she was redeemed and received a strong send-off before then. Angelic the final.
2 Winifred Burkle
Winifred (Amy Acker) (“Fred” for Friends) first appeared on Angel near the end of the show’s second season. She was rescued from another dimension called Pilea after spending five years there, apparently after reading a spell from an old book. Once Angel’s team rescues her and brings her back home, she joins their demon-fighting business.
Fred is a very sweet character and one of the few characters on the show who has never done anything morally gray or questionable. That being said, she undergoes a transformation towards the end of the show that makes her appear very different, but at that point she essentially becomes a completely different character, which arguably leaves Fred’s actual track record virtually flawless.
1 lorne
Lorne (Andy Hallett) is Angelic the weirdest (and best) protagonist. He immediately stands out for his appearance, green skin and almost always in chic outfits. He is a demon from Pylaea’s world, and just as Fred was accidentally sucked out of her dimension into Pylaea, Lorne was ripped from Pylaea and left on Earth.
Lorne also loves to sing, runs a karaoke bar, and can read people’s auras/parts of their future when they sing. As the show goes on, he gradually becomes more involved with Angel’s team, starting as a recurring character in season 2 and gaining a spot on the main cast by season 4. He serves as a mediator, a voice of reason and, in the end, a hero. He makes any scene he’s in more enjoyable and is the cutest protagonist on the show.
