In 1997, Carpenter auditioned for [[Buffy Summers|the title role]] (something that [[Julie Benz]], [[Elizabeth Anne Allen]], [[Julia Lee]], and [[Mercedes McNab]] also did) in the television series ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' but instead was cast as Cordelia Chase, a snobby and popular high school student. After three seasons on ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'', Carpenter was offered an even larger role as the same character on the spin-off series ''Angel'' along with [[David Boreanaz]] ([[Angel]]), playing her Cordelia Chase character for four seasons on ''Angel''. Although her character leaves the series during the fourth season of ''Angel'', Carpenter returned for [[You're Welcome|the 100th episode]] in the fifth and final season because she felt that Cordelia's fans deserved closure after the controversy of her unexplained removal from the show.
