Sarah Michelle Gellar was "annoyed" to play Buffy

ACTRESS Alyson Hannigan says Buffy co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar was "annoyed" at having to play the vampire fighting hero.
In a TV interview, the How I Met Your Mother star was asked who was most annoyed to be on Buffy the Vampire Slayer by the seventh and final season.

"Sarah," the 39-year-old replied. "Well, she had a big career going on ... It was a lot of work."

Hannigan was then asked after what season did Gellar start hating Buffy.

"Uh, three," Hannigan answered.

Gellar, 36, spoke years ago about the problems she had with committing to a series.

"I was 18 when I started the show; I'm 26. I'm married. I never see my husband [Freddie Prinze Jr.]," she said. "This has been the longest span of my life in one place. There've been times where that's been difficult - you want to pick up and go, try other things, live in different places. It feels right, and you have to listen to that."

Because it would have been too professional for Alyson to just respond with, "I can't comment on that"?

It's strange that after all these years AH needs to say these things. She could have been far more professional. The are two options: Sarah was really cold and uninterested in the show or Alyson still doesn't like Sarah and needs to express his feelings for her.

I was surprised that alyson would want to beig all that up again, because I got the impression they had put their past problems behind them when Alyson congratulated Sarah on the birth of her her daughter Charlotte

You know, that always seemed weird to me because Sarah doesn't have a twitter or facebook or a public online presence. Knowing that (or maybe Aly didn't know that), it sort of comes off as look at me congratulating instead of actually congratulating.

It doesn't sound like there are problems.

Really, this is a case of people making mountains out of molehills. If people talk about an old fight because it's a funny anecdote then they do it. Doesn't meant that they are still fighting. Doesn't mean anything except there have been questions.

And Alyson Hannigan is the one that still has a job.

I'm not sure what Alyson still having a job has to do with anything? No one said anything against Alyson's career, just that it's not all that professional to drag up dirt on your co-worker and suggest that they spend most of the time wanting to leave the show they worked on for a big movie career.

["And Alyson Hannigan is the one that still has a job."]

What, acting in a stupid sitcom? SMG has done some excellent work in movies since Buffy.

After all these years she's getting asked about these things. So she talks about them. No one cares if the cast of Spin City or NYPD Blue likes each other because not many people watch these shows.

However, people still watch Buffy.
