Lilah

[Alissa]

Ahhh Lilah. What can we all say about Lilah?
I loved her character, I thought she was such a clever, smooth Wolfram and Hart lawyer. She's always so collected at work, but you can see the fear play across her face when she comes up against Angel. It's a shame she had to die, imo. Her dialogue was always so quick and witty, although that was pretty much a Jossverse character thing. Anyway, I loved her.

What do you all think of the femme fatale of Wolfram and Hart?

I loved Lilah. She was such a ruthless bitch but there was a softer, nicer side underneath that did come to the surface at times. I loved how she took charge at W&H when she knew she was going to be fired, and how she went against Billy after he beat her. I think she was scared of Angel but also intrigued and strongly attracted to him, which was seen when that old guy took control of Angel's body. I didn't like her dying, I thought it would have been great to see her in S5 with Angel and co at W&H.

I also loved her relationship with Wesley and how they did grow to care about each other, and for her, possibly even love him.

Anyone who can take the words 'Evil Bitch' as a compliment has got to spark interest. The chemistry she had with WEs was fantastic and their relationship was tragic as Wes failed his salvage mission with Lilah and only succeeded in becoming riddled with moral ambiguity.

It's uncertain whether or not she has sociopathic tendencies. We know vampires such as Elizabeth and Drusilla are capable of love yet they are some of the most vile vamps we've come across but for the most part Lilah seems to be a woman who wants to reach the top no matter what. She's attractive but she's savvy, witty, opportunistic and devilishly ambitious.

She is perhaps one of the more charismatic lawyers at W&H so it's not hard to see how she got where came to be.

I agree Beck, Lilah must have had an attraction to Angel. There's always been a vibe between them anyway.

Well, she was definitely much more interesting that Eve!

I wished they didn't kill her off in season 4. I would love to see her in W&H with Angel and the gang in season 5. Eve was a pale subsitute for Lilah. Even Hamilton was better!

I love her bitchy side and her I-get-want-I-want attitude. For some reason, I didn't like her softer side though.

[Alissa]

I agree with everyone!

I loved how she was the one to kill Billy. There was no way she would have let Billy get away with beating her.
I wish she could have been in season 5, too. Just to ruffle some feathers.
Lilah/Wesley was a great relationship. It was so different from anything else they had done on Angel before, and the polar opposite of Fred/Wesley, which was what Wes always wanted.

Oh so true. I can't believe they brought in Eve to replace a character like Lilah. Not even a comparison between them.

I also loved Lilah. She was just a perfect example of a lawyer at Wolfram and Hart- evil and bitchy. She seemed at first just as your typical evil bad guy, but as the show progressed you saw her in many different lights- like when she killed Billy, her relationship with Wesley, and her attraction to Angel (which I also believe is there).

She was just a very interesting character to follow, and her death was never upsetting to me until I saw season 2 and 3. I would have loved to see her more on the show, but I loved how she returned in "Home."

[Alissa]

Oh I loved how Lilah came back in "Home". It was so nice to see Lilah again after she died. And that part where Lilah said "flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything". I loved that.

Something I forgot about Lilah, she made sure her mother had the best room in the clinic, which I think demonstrated that if nothing else, she was someone who believed she does what she has to do rather than someone who is totally evil or believes in it, so it wasn't just with Wes that she shows her sensitive side.

The Bitch From Hell should sum it up.

I think very much of Lilah was putting on a front. I think W&H definitely corrupted her, but a lot of her coldness can be attributed to it being a front for those around her.

[Forsaken]

I too loved Lilah and would have loved to have seen her as the laison to the senior partners (never thought of that before here but it would have been perfect). I think in a universe where demons are frequently used as a metaphor for the evil of mankind she was the perfect example of human ambition and what it can do to a person.
