Who should’ve gotten a spin-off show?

If Buffy had another spin-off, which character would you of liked to of seen in the lead?
I remember Giles was mooted to have one set in England but it never got off the ground unfortunately.
I’d also of loved to of seen a Faith spin-off, much darker in tone than buffy, perhaps aimed at an older audience.
Plus a mini series featuring Drusilla, Darla, Spike and Angelus from around the time of the flashbacks shown in Angel and Buffy.

If I remember correctly, faith was supposed to have a spin off but Eliza wanted to do Tru calling. I would have said Kendra if they hadn't of killed her off.
Angel was the right person for a spin-off even though it hurt to see him go.

A Faith the Vampire Slayer spinoff would have been a nice idea. Kendra the Slayer would have been great if she had not been killed.

I think it would have been great to have a show not solely centralized around another slayer. I think this slayerverse is filled with may characters to choose from. We could have had a Hell dimension series centering around Lilah Morgan still working for Wolfram & Hart. Or we could have had a series based on the after life, and long lost dead characters could have been the main focus. Maybe the fight still goes on even after they left the mortal world. The possibilities are endless.

After reading Tales of the Slayer, I would have loved to have been that type of show where we meet the various Slayers over the years.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer only did one episode on past Slayers and it was the two that Spike killed. The problem with the episode was Buffy not inquiring on the Slayer who came right before her.

Pretty much any of the main cast had potential to be the star of a show. I'd have liked to see an "Anya" show.

I think Willow is probably the obvious choice because magic lends itself to a bunch of plots, but really, I think I'd have liked to have seen a show about Giles' younger days.

Any of them would be great. The only thing I hope they never do is something silly like slayer school. I want real characters and engaging storylines.

I'm going to have to go against everyone and say one of the potentials activated in the final episode who was not found but managed to survive the bringers on her own without powers. I'd love to see a new story that does not involve the army of slayers. For me Angel was the only real stand out character that could carry a show for me, sure I love Anya she's a great supporting character but to carry a show on her own not so much.

I still hope someday Angel gets that six season. The network was an idiot for canceling it

Like many have already said, I would have liked a Faith spin off. Not after the events of the series finale but after her original run on the show.
I'd also would have liked a show following the upbringing and lessons of future Watchers.

Faith, Darla, Anya, even Cordelia

Would the Cordelia spin off be in place of Angel or would she have spun off from Angel?

I assume Irina means before Joss Whedon ruined the character.
