Fred, who Angel befriended and saved saved from Pylea will be a series regular in series 2, joining Angel, Cordy, Wes and Gunn in their fight against evil
The evil law firm Wolfram & Hart will remain as the major evil force.
Angel (the character) will be more light hearted this year, and we will see more of him smiling and making jokes.
There are no plans to do any crossovers with Angel next season, and because the two shows are on rival networks as of next season, it is very unlikely that any will happen at all.
Darla will return, probably only in flashbacks.
At least one flashback finds Angel and Darla in 1767 Marseilles, fleeing from Holtz, a vampire killer who's family was killed by Angelus.
Holtz is described as "the most formidable vampire killer in the world." He will also find some way to travel though time to the 21st century in his quest of vengange for Angel's past actions.
In the 18th century, Darla and Angel will cavort with a previously unseen vampire couple named James and Elisabeth.
Holtz was the unseen fellow chasing Angel and Darla in a flashback in last season's 'Dear Boy.' Elisabeth brings up the incident from the 'Dear Boy' flashback, asking Angel if it was true Darla fled a barn in which Angel and Darla were trapped, leaving Angel to die. Angel confirms the incident with fondness: "She hit me with a shovel, wished me luck and rode off with our only horse."
Elisabeth dies by Angels hand.
Holtz isn't the only one to turn up in the present. James gets to spend time with Angel and Cordy on the L.A. subway!
In the present, James tells Angel he wishes he could kill Angel's true love, as Angel killed James'. Angel replies, "You cant kill the woman I love because shes already dead. Cordy adds, It happened three months ago, we try not to talk about it."
Don't expect James to survive the season premiere.
