Buffy Alum Coming to ‘Dollhouse’?

Ausiello over at TV Guide just posted the news that Joss has read with some people from the Buffyverse for roles in Dollhouse:

Eliza Dushku may be bunking with some old friends when she moves into Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse next season. According to multiple sources, several Buffyverse grads are being considered for the eight supporting roles now being cast.

Whedon confirmed this unbelievably fraktacular turn of events moments before taking the stage at Paley Fest’s Buffy tribute last Thursday. “I’ve read a couple of people [from the Buffyverse],” he told me, “but I’m not going to say who.”

Although this would seem to contradict comments the Buffy master made to me last fall, in which he said that his “first instinct is to probably [cast] new people because I’m already reuniting with Eliza and I don’t want it to seem like a house party,” Whedon insists his position hasn’t changed.

“It’s not a hard and fast rule,” clarifies the auteur, who just completed penning Dollhouse‘s one-hour premiere. “I just want to make sure I get the right people. And I don’t want to give the impression that it’s just me and my friends having a party. Some [Buffyverse alums] might work out fine. But I’m not going to just seek out people that I already know are great. That would be lazy.”

You know what I say? There’s nothin’ wrong with being lazy if it means Whedon reuniting with the likes of James Marsters, Charisma Carpenter and Julie Landau. Of course, that’s not to say they’re the Buffyverse vets in the running for Dollhouse. That’s not to say they aren’t either. See how I protected myself there?

What Buffyverse stars would you like to see populate Dollhouse? Or do you think Whedon should trust his first instinct and surround Dushku with newbies? Those are the questions that need answering. By you. Below.
