Why did they kill the Doyle character? Was this planned from the
beginning or did the producers (or others) not like the character enough
or what? I find it a bit strange to kill off one of three main
characters after only 1/3rd of the season.

thanks,

Benno...

The following is from an interview with Tim Minear, writer / producer of
Angel. Should be true enough:

At what point was it decided to bring Alexis in? Was he always intended to
appear in the second half of the season or were you originally planning on
developing Angel and Cordy as a duo post Doyle?

TM: We knew very early that we were going to kill off Doyle. All the
character development which led up to that moment was written with that
impending death in mind. The notion to bring in Wesley came slightly later.
We never planned for "Angel" to be the Angel/Cordy show. In fact, by the end
of the season you'll see that we've been adding characters all year long.
Wesley is one of them. But just one.

This is what Joss Whedon says as well. They wanted to show that even a main
character can get killed before the end of a season.

Bye, Patrick
