How about here?

I'm talking about a woman who everyone seems to think will become CEO.

In what respect would those examples differ from those in your original post?

There is no significant difference, in the context of this discussion:

1. I'm talking about a woman who everyone seems to think | is an angel.

2. I'm talking about a woman who everyone seems to think | will become CEO.

In both cases, "who" is correct, since it is the subject of the part after the vertical bar.

This is another example of your trying to slight MrP, a real Guru on various ESL forums and an outstanding teacher, as you do to other knowledgeable people in other forums.
