"Wes was hampered ... by being in the Giles/Willow role on Angel. They couldn't experiment that much with him ... "
Oh that actually really explains a lot to me, I should have seen it myself: they couldn't let Wesley go full on crazy (even when Fred dies and he stabs Gunn) because they still needed his character for exposition and creating phlebotinum, so it was necessary for his brain to continue to work.... Alexis was really given quite a tight rope to walk! lol
And you're right about Charisma not having the experience and training, I'm just saying that she shouldn't have had the role. You cast someone for their looks then you shouldn't give them much acting to do. She has been better in later roles (the trophy wife on 'Veronica Mars' and stuff like that) when she really wasn't expected to do much.
