It's very, very reminiscent, I agree. With Gwen being Angel, of course. Here we a have character who becomes a surprising fan favourite, and eventually what seems like the creator's original OTP (Buffy/Angel, Jack/Gwen) is ditched in favour of a kind of fanservicey sexytiems relationship involving the Spike, which ultimately never quite satisfies, because we never really find out how The Hero feels about it, and in the end The Spike dies to prove a point about the hero, leaving the fans feeling like he deserved better somehow (the rape notwithstanding, of course.)
