David Boreanaz was so popular as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer's" doomed lover, Angel, that he was gifted his very own, self-titled spinoff, which ran for five successful seasons. However, if you ask his former co-star Nicholas Brendon, Boreanaz didn't deserve his own show in the first place. Hollywood Life reports that, in pop culture curator Evan Ross Katz's upcoming book, "Into Every Generation a Slayer Is Born: How Buffy Staked Our Hearts," Brendon argued, "It was weird that Angel got a spin-off. Because how does the most boring character in TV history get a spin-off?"

"Why don't we break down Angel? Uh, no, there's nothing to break down. It's just a brooding little guy," Brendon continued. "Angel, in my opinion, is worse than those 'Twilight' f***ers. I'm not sure if I'm talking about David or Angel at this point now." Fans have speculated about a feud between the two actors for years. Brendon's comments may shed some light on their issues, or he could've done the interview in character as Xander.

Funnily enough, when Parade asked Boreanaz whether he'd be up for a "Buffy" reunion someday, or even to reprise the Angel character elsewhere, he answered definitively, "No, never; that's done, see ya, next." Explaining how he's not into reunions in general, the fan favorite quipped, "I tend to like to go forward. I don't like to go backward — except when I've got ice skates on my feet and I'm playing hockey." Ultimately, we don't know these actors' history, but there is definitely some there.
