She was a star of one of the leading shows for the last generation of young people. And now, she wanted to be a part of the new one. Sadly, things did not pan out.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia) recently Tweeted that she was hoping to test for a part on The Secret Circle (Dawn Chamberlain, maybe?) but she did not get it.
“Sad because SECRET CIRCLE pilot I was hoping to test for was a role offered to someone else. I really was hoping to be a part of that show,” she Tweeted.
A Buffy connection would have surely been welcome in this cast, which already includes fan favorites from Life Unexpected and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
The Secret Circle pilot is now filming for a possible spot on The CW’s Fall 2011 schedule.

too bad, it would have been awesome to have her on the show, it would have given a lot more people a reason to watch this show
Charisma is an awesome actress, maybe later on.
See, it’s this type of casting blunder that has cost The CW soooo many fans over the years. Buffy and Angel were two of the most beloved shows, not only of The WB, but in TV history. And Charisma was *always* a fan favorite. This should’ve been a no-brainer, but the folks who’ve botched the casts of Melrose Place, 90210 and countless other come-and-gone shows just don’t seem to have a freakin’ clue about who the audience wants to spend time with on a weekly basis. That’s TV 101…if we don’t like the actor, feel a connection (seen Supernatural fanbase lately?), then there’s a huge strike against the show.
Charisma Carpenter is one actress who every single CW fan, young and old, would’ve cheered.
I would have LOVED to have Charisma on TSC!!! She would be perfect!
Don’t know anything about these new shows but always liked C.C. in Buffy and the Angel. Her guesting on LEGEND OF THE SEEKER was excellent as well. Maybe something else will come along for her but she can’t play the young just out of high school girl any more. Needs a more adult role.
they will introduce like in TVD other characters through the story. Alaric for example was presented in episode 6-7 i think. The roles of adults characters were all assigned before this tweets, so there was no possibility to give her a role i think… but for now
