Winifred ‘Fred’ Burkle

Played by Amy Acker

INFORMATION

Winifred ‘Fred’ Burkle was a brilliant physicist with a mind for dimensions and a heart full of hope. Trapped in the demon dimension of Pylea for five harrowing years, Fred was rescued by Angel and his team and found a new home with them in Los Angeles. Her experiences in Pylea shaped her into a resilient, resourceful woman, but her kind and quirky spirit shone through, endearing her to her new family.

As a member of Angel Investigations, Fred used her scientific genius to help the team tackle supernatural threats. Over time, she found herself at the centre of a love triangle, with both Wesley and Gunn vying for her affections. Her story took a heartbreaking turn when her body was overtaken by the ancient demon Illyria, a transformation that devastated her friends but revealed a new and powerful ally in the fight against darkness. Fred’s legacy lived on in the memories of her team, who never forgot her courage, intellect, and unwavering humanity.

Welcome to The Watcher’s Guide, a resource, quite fittingly, back from the dead!

The original website shut down in 2004, following the cancellation of Angel. Now with a new show set in the BuffyVerse eagerly anticipated by fans old and new and featuring the return of Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy, it’s time to spruce up The Watcher’s Guide for a new generation.

All the episodes have been added, along with notes, biographies and continuity references. But as always, one question remains… Where Do We Go From Here?
