Context HoYay / Angel

Go To

1''Series/{{Angel}}'' is a goldmine of HoYay.
2* In "[[Recap/AngelS01E01CityOf City Of]]", Angel is hit on by almost every character, including a man who claims Angel's "a beautiful beautiful man" and wants to hire him. In "[[{{Recap/AngelS01E02LonelyHearts}} LonelyHearts]]", Angel talks to several people in a bar to find someone in trouble, one of whom (a man) dresses exactly like Angel and thought Angel was hitting on him.
3* Spike and Angel (in text: "Angel and I were never intimate, apart from that one time.") Creator/JossWhedon has also stated that Angel and Spike have had at least one sexual encounter, which technically makes this one canon. Ironically, in the Dark Horse Presents online special "Always Darkest", Buffy has a Spangel nightmare.
4-->'''Angelus''': Do you have any idea what it's like, having nothing but women as travel companions, night in and night out? Don't mistake me. I do love the ladies. It's just, lately... I've been wondering... what it'd be like to share the slaughter of innocents with another man. Don't think that makes me some kind of a... ''deviant'', hmm?
5* Wesley and Gunn.
6** Pretty much all of the "[[{{Recap/AngelS02E14TheThinDeadLine}} The Thin Dead Line]]".
7* Angel and Lindsey (note that this became text: Darla's "It's not me you want to screw. It's him." and Angel's "I want you, Lindsey. [[LampshadeHanging Thinking about]] [[AccidentalInnuendo rephrasing that.]]" - tenuous text is text all the same.)
8** Let's not forget Lindsey wanting to know EVERY detail about the Darla's *ahem* encounter with Angel in "[[{{Recap/AngelS02E16Epiphany}} Epiphany]]". ("You want details Lindsey? Is that want you want?" "Yes I want details. I need to know everything, all of it. What did he do to you?")
9* Angel and Wesley. This even extends to Angelus, who brings it up when mocking the Gunn-Fred-Wesley triangle ("He's damn near perfect; if I swung that way..." He then goes on to describe Wesley's ruggedly handsome features, his fetching accent...''Thank you'', Creator/JossWhedon.)
10** There's also the conversation between the old man who took over Angel's body and Wesley in "[[{{Recap/AngelS03E04CarpeNoctem}} Carpe Noctem]]".
11* Angel and Doyle in early Season One. As Angel leaves in "[[Recap/AngelS01E04IFallToPieces I Fall to Pieces]]", Doyle remarks:
12-->Maybe I'm a little attracted.
13** In "[[{{Recap/AngelS03E11Birthday}} Birthday]]" it is said that Doyle could only pass on his vision ability to Cordelia because he had romantic feelings for her. Later in the same episode it is revealed that Doyle passed his visions to Angel in an alternate reality, which implies that he had similar feelings for Angel (at least in that reality). What's more is the visions are transferred through a kiss...
14** And in [[{{Recap/AngelS01E02LonelyHearts}} Lonely Hearts]] when Doyle suggests that the two of them go out together, calls Angel a “looker” and tells him that he needs to “come out.”
15* Spike and Gunn. From "[[Recap/AngelS05E04HellBound Hell Bound]]":
16-->Give him 20 minutes, he'll be popping up next to you in the bathroom, making cracks about your... am I the only one he does that to?
17* Darla and Drusilla. In "[[Recap/AngelS05E20TheGirlInQuestion The Girl in Question]]", they once had a threesome with The Immortal. And in flashbacks, it is implied that they would retreat to each other's...company when tired of Angel and Spike. And a bath together afterward ("Will you hold my head under the water?").
18** Their first conversation after Darla is re-sired in "[[Recap/AngelS02E10Reunion Reunion]]" is referred to as a make-out session by one unfortunate human witness who also calls them girlfriends. Drusilla calls Darla 'my sweet', which is something she and Spike used to call each other when they were lovers
19** All of which is made creepier by the fact that Drusilla has a tendency to call Darla "Grandmother".
20** Lampshaded by Gunn the episode after Darla's re-siring. After having the whole vampiric 'family tree' explained to him, he mentions that 'the granddaughter re-making the grandmother' weirds him out more than everything else.
21* Lilah and Drusilla. In "[[Recap/AngelS02E10Reunion Reunion]]", Dru strokes Lilah's cheek and compliments her on her complexion. Lilah explain that she moisturizes, and Dru leans in close to say, "That was very thoughtful of you."
22* Lilah and Faith. Lilah picks up Faith at a club in order to recruit her to kill Angel in "[[Recap/AngelS01E18FiveByFive Five By Five]] ". ("I think you misread my intentions") Creator/ElizaDushku and Creator/StephanieRomanov were actually told to tone it down after initial takes had them on a level that would put off Willow and Tara.
23* Lilah and Fred. Lilah had a habit of getting very descriptive.
24* Lilah and Cordelia in "[[Recap/AngelS04E12Calvary Calvary]]" ("Are you trying to turn me on?")
25* Lilah and Bethany in "[[Recap/AngelS02E04Untouched Untouched]]".
26* Fred and Cordy have their moments.
27* Fred and Willow in "[[Recap/AngelS04E15Orpheus Orpheus]]" has spawned a slew of femslash from a few minutes of shared screen time. ("I'm seeing someone")
28* The whole episode "[[{{Recap/AngelS02E17Disharmony}} Disharmony]]" "The last time I remember being happy was with you." Plus the MistakenForGay sequence.
29* Every time Andrew appears on screen, his reaction to seeing Spike reaches the highest levels of HoYay, much to Spike's annoyance.
30* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f_m_FZmy-o Wesley giving Angel a lady's pink helmet so he can ride on his motorbike]] in "[[Recap/AngelS02E03FirstImpressions First Impressions]]". After Wesley gets impatient with Angel's petty objections, he reluctantly puts on the helmet. Wesley grins and quips, "Hop on, gorgeous."
31* In "After the Fall", after a [[TearJerker heartful goodbye]] between Angel and Wes, Spike [[MoodWhiplash comments on it]]:
32--> '''Spike''': "What was that? If he (ghost!Wes) wasn't see-through, you would have kissed wouldn't you? I got that vibe."
33* Angel's very very VERY Ho Yay-tastic line in "[[{{Recap/AngelS05E01Conviction}} Conviction]]"?: "Just so we're clear...I have no problem spanking men,"
