| - He's his father's son, same dark good looks, same lost boy sweetness. And the broodiness, boy he's got that stone cold!
- Joss, David & I were [..] talking about what could season 3 be, we didn't really have any ideas [..] Joss says, 'We can't bring Darla back in a box again,' [..] and I said, 'Well, can we bring something back in Darla's box?' Because that was supposed to be a joke. Joss stopped walking, turned and looked at me and said, 'Actually, we can.' And that's when he came up with the idea that when Angel sort of quasi-forced himself on Darla at the end of 'Reprise', that a baby had been conceived.
- [Connor] is the foil. He's the guy who didn't fit in. Who grew up in the wrong place and no matter what he did, it couldn't be the right thing.

| - Within the series, Connor is the superhuman son of the title character Angel, who is a vampire. Introduced in the third season as a newborn, Connor is kidnapped and taken to a hell dimension in an act of revenge against his father. He returns as a battle-hardened, disturbed teenager who has been raised to hate Angel. His consequent violent and estranged relationship with his father and increasing internal conflict making him shift alliances between protagonists and antagonists forms the storyline for his character. Towards the end of season four, events take their toll on Connor's sanity, and his memories are rewritten to give him a normal life. The next time he appears in season five, Connor is a well-adjusted person. At the return of his memories, Connor finally reconciles with Angel in the series finale. The comic book series follows Connor accepting his abilities and role of a hero in addition of maintaining a normal life as a college student. Created to give Angel an "emotional" connection, the infant Connor was used to develop other characters. After he grows up, he initially becomes a tragic figure and foil for the protagonists before eventually evolving to a protagonist himself. Connor has received attention in academic texts related to family studies and masculinity in fiction. The character proved to be controversial among fans, while critics have given mixed views.
