Speaking at the recent HellmouthCon in Torrance, California, James Marsters Revealed that Joss Whedon brought him to the Firefly set to meet the cast and had planned to have Spike appear on the show.
“The plan was to put Spike in Firefly, which was another one of Joss’ shows about space. So he took me over and introduced me to the cast of Serenity, Firefly. I wish they would have just called it the same thing. Crazy. Um, uh… and I looked at all the space stuff and thought it was cool. He introduced me to the cast – they were all really friendly and wonderful. I didn’t know why I was being introduced to them, but apparently, the idea was that they were gonna go into a bar, and this vampire would be sitting there going “Nothing ever changes. It never changes.” And Spike is immortal so he would be in the future – and he was gonna join the cast. But… they got cancelled.”
