The storylines of the show also saw Eric and Pamela who were recurring characters on Slayer's fifth season appear, with the intension to upgrade them to regulars on the second season, but when word of the cancelation of the spin-off during production on Dangerous Prey episode 21 of Slayer and Vampires in LA episode 14 of season 1, the writers made changes to the storylines.  Michael was due to reappear in Slayer's season final in a dream. Instead although they decided to keep any ideas for Michael's future over to season 6, they had a back-up plan in case the series didn't continue past a season 1. The writers changed the show's first season final to serve as a series final, and an launch back to Slayer's sixth season. Michael appears in the dreams episode but some foreshadowing of his future were shown.
