He was actually excited when told that Spike would fall in love with Buffy, seeing that as a much more interesting take on why the character would stay around but was opposed to [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Buffy returning that affection]]. He was so disturbed by Spike's AttemptedRape of Buffy in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E19SeeingRed Seeing Red]]" that he had his contract updated so he would never film such scenes again.
