It's easier to just you know give each group half a season, they're working 12 to 15 episodes depending on any Mass Casualty events but they're not working year round like a normal Network show with 24 episodes.

What if they extend the pitt to 24 episodes? That way after the first 12 hours they do shift change and the new crew comes in and then they do a shift change at the beginning of the new day. If there's any mass casualty incidents we can have double coverage like we did at the end of season 1 but instead of having two completely separate shows they're both the pit they can both have crossover as needed between day and night but the first half of the season would be the handoff and then the day shift and the second half would be the handoff and then the night shift. And if say there's an active shooter in the hospital or a major multi car accident or holiday shenanigans we can still have episodes where they double up. And it could be either day shift or night shift where the double up happens.

So because of the aging issue, they'll either have to remove the vampirism from Spike and angel or only use their voices.

Or unless there's some sort of disease attacking vampires that are making them age there's really no good way to have much older actors reappear as 20 something vampires.

I love both actors but they're in their 50s and 60s. There's no way they can portray someone much younger without a lot of CGI. And that would make the show unfeasible production cost wise.

She flatlined in season 6. When Willow kick the doctors out of the room the machine flatlined. That's her third death. She was maybe not even dead for long and it may be only was a machine death like her heart was still going with the machines thought she was dead, but a lot of people count it. So Willow saved her two times. If you count the wish that would be four deaths.
