Gellar Says No to Buffy Return
http://www.imdb.com/PeopleNews/#10

Sarah Michelle Gellar has further broken the hearts of Buffy The Vampire Slayer fans - she has turned down the chance to recreate her famous TV character in episodes of spin-off series Angel.

Buffy creator Joss Whedon had offered the actress the chance to return to TV in 2004 to play Buffy in two special episodes of Angel, but she has turned him down. A disappointed Whedon says, "She feels it's not the right time."

Did you catch Joss's comment on Serenity about how uncomfortable Nathan was filming the zero-g shots. He said he was "as cranky as a seventh year TV star." Wonder what that could mean?

You know what? Good for her. Buffy is over. She put in her time and did a great job. Let her rest. I would much rather Buffy continue having adventures (or not, depending) off-screen than come back for a weak follow-up. What's going to be said that hasn't been already?

Let Buffy- the character and the actor who played her- rest.

If Buffy came back there would certainly be love-tension between her and Angel and Spike. She would get to thank Spike for saving the world. Who knows what else Joss had in mind, but are you so sure it would be a "weak follow-up?"

This could well be the last season of Angel. I think a Buffy appearance, an Epilogue, would be a nice touch.

What about Giles or Xander guesting they both have serious chemistry with both Angel and Spike

Well, she wasn't that good in that show anyways. And Scooby Doo and SNL certainly sucked whenever she was on. Come on! I say let her go and she will sink to the bottom of oblivion.

I don't blame her. If she wants to move on to other things as Charisma Carpenter did, I certainly respect her for that. Yes, I was looking forward to seeing Buffy on Angel and am a bit disappointed, but that's okay.

Let her be done if she wants to be.

sounds good and I certainly respect people's
decisions when they make them intelligently.

But when they flaunt them in a 'oh, I am too
good for you kind of attitude' (and especially
when they aren't really up to that kind of
standards), it truly is a huge insult.

This kind of decision has the true hallmark
of someone else speaking for her - handlers
who don't necessarily have her best interest
in mind, but only her money. People like that
make you sacrifice and kill off your childhood
relationships, your family relationships, and
your real friends. They manipulate you so that
you become wholly dependent on them in that they
can squeeze every last drop of worth out of you.
They don't make you become better, they just control you and make you their puppet until
you rot away.

Give an example, many of SNL's older generation
cast have gone back to the show to cohost and
do a couple of skits even when the show sucked
and they have 'moved on' and become much more
successful.

i was under the impression that Charisma Carpenter was shocked that she 'no longer had a job.' That she really didn't see it coming and was dissappointed that she would no longer be a part of the series. I read something like that in TV Guide, i believe.

Right after I saw the final episode of Buffy, my first thought was "I hope we never see Buffy, Giles, Xander, or Willow again." Their end was so perfect...another appearance couldn't add; only detract.

Even mentioning their names doesn't help. I wish Andrew hadn't given Spike the update about the gang. They're not together anymore? For seven years, they hardly part, and now they're all on separate continents?
Perhaps they were only at their locations temporarily, though.
