I was just browsing scifi.com and I seen this article. I'm sorry if it's already been posted.

Willow To Visit Angel

Alyson Hannigan, who plays Willow on UPN's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, told SCI FI Wire that her character will cross over onto The WB's spinoff series Angel in an upcoming episode. "I’m doing Angel tomorrow," Hannigan said in an interview at the Jan. 22 premiere of Darkness Falls, starring Buffy regular Emma Caulfield. "I don’t think I can actually say [what Willow is doing in L.A.], but a little crossover is happening." It'll mark Hannigan's first appearance on Angel since she became engaged to Angel regular Alexis Denisof over the 2002 holidays.

As for Buffy, Hannigan added that pop singer Ashanti will guest star in a future episode. "She did a guest appearance, and [there will be] just more chaos, hopefully," Hannigan said.

With Buffy possibly coming to an end this season, Hannigan said she was unsure if she would return after May’s season finale. "It completely depends on [creator] Joss [Whedon] and his involvement, because if he walks away, then I’m going to beg him to take me with him. I think this is the last year. It feels like the last year." Would she do a spinoff show centered around Willow? "I don't know," she said.

Thanks for the news. I am surprise though, the contracts say no regular cast member on either show can guest star on the other show, so I wonder what change.

Thanks again Jenny for sharing the news

Here is what TV Guide said about the crossover:

BUFFY/ANGEL REUNION: Strange things happen on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel all the time, but none stranger than this. Buffy's Alyson Hannigan, who plays the Chosen One's sorceress sidekick Willow, will be appearing on the spinoff series in the March 26 episode of Angel. Since the supernatural shows are now on different networks — Buffy left the WB for UPN last season; Angel stayed put — how did the crossover come to pass? Sources tell TV Guide Online that, because this is likely Buffy's last season and could be Angel's as well, the networks are giving wunderkind creator Joss Whedon the leeway to do whatever he likes. Gee, talk about a good news/bad news scenario!

Mmmm... A spinoff centered around Will? He. He. He. He. He. What a lovely thought!
But I don't think it'll work out...

What are you talking about? Alyson, I think is done with Buffy. She is just going to guest star on Angel probably to get Faith and go back to Sunnydale to stop the First.

I know. That's why I don't think it'll happen. But in Jenny's post they mentioned a possible Willow spinoff. Alyson says she doen't know about it.

I think maybe the beast on angel is somehow connected to the first on buffy, So maybe willow is going there for some reason concerning that?

For those who watched what did you think of it? I like the Willow/Cordy fight with out Willow knowing she was fighting Cordy, it was cool. Eliza (Faith) appears in Buffy April 22nd in 'The Final Hours' of Buffy, the last 5 episodes of Buffy
