probably created a level of collaboration that was sorely lacking with the other actors. But to be fair - the other actors were never really given the opportunity in part because of their roles
Agreed, both those things are factors.
ASH would have been a more interesting big bad than Hannigan. Hannigan played it too light.
I've always found her a weak actress. She made Willow her own but I find her to be repetitive in her other roles. My guess is that ASH's lack of availability as well as it echoing too much something else Joss wrote is the reason he avoided that.
