Marti Noxon has announced a major casting coup for season seven of Buffy. Avert your gaze now if you don't want to be spoiled.

Buffy's executive producer and new mum Marti Noxon has revealed that the hugely popular "Parking Ticket Lady" from Once More, With Feeling - played by non other than Marti herself - is set to return.

"I cannot say [when]," she teased Sci-Fi Wire, "[but] the parking ticket lady will be singing. How funny is that? I'm going to make a small career of singing on Buffy and Angel." Marti also sang the theme to Cordelia's TV show in the Angel episode Birthday.

In other season seven news, Marti revealed that Willow faces a tough time rebuilding her friendship with the Scoobies.
