Well, he's got four whole episodes in which to look like the man in the Hathaway shirt. Then he's got to start worrying about getting a job, though Joss is pretty good about finding jobs for actors in his cancelled serieses, as I'm sure you've noted.

I heard that he's already signed on for a sitcom on Fox or something. As for Anya, I agree that there hasn't been enough Anya. Her line "why don't you just masturbate like everyone else?" was the best thing so far this season. However ...
not a big spoiler space because this is just casting/scheduling/contracting spoilage, not plot spoilage ...
Emma announced that she wasn't re-upping her contract with Buffy before it was even clear that this was the last season, so expect to have her bite it before the end.
More interesting (worrying?) are the rumors that
again just casting/scheduling/contracting rumor spoilage ...
Spike will turn up on Angel next season, and that his inclusion (on a guest-appearance basis at least) was (is? Is Angel Season 5 a done deal yet?) a condition to WB agreeing to re-up Angel and a big revamping (heh) of the show. Not to spark a hate/love Spike debate, or get into all the spoiler discussions about who lives & dies in the Buffy apocalypse, but how badly could that screw up the dynamic on Angel? Not that I mind seeing James Marsters acting snarky in very little clothing, but, dang, it could really mess up what is a reasonably good group dynamic. Or it could be OK - Angel has been annoyingly self-righteous when not being evil & taunting the censors this season, so seeing someone take the piss out of him would be fun. But the Spike character now has a significantly bigger fan following than the Angel character (and in an entirely different, younger, stupider and more lucrative demographic), which could lead to big ego problems w/ Boreanaz, who isn't rumored to be all sweetness and light. And, it increases the risk that they will kill of another character to make room (Gunn? I love Gunn! But he looks vulnerable).
