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 just stirring up things unnecessarily when Sarah already came in for a ton of hate from the fans for ending Buffy in season 7, there was no need for someone she worked with to come out and say that actually she wanted to escape Buffy ever since season 3. Yes I'm aware that she was asked which cast member had had enough of the show, but she didn't have to answer like that. Ditto with the end of season 7 when she was so annoyed at Sarah getting the EW cover and solo interview that she came out and complained that Sarah was the only one choosing to end the show and leave everyone in the lurch, even though Joss and Nicky Brendon have both denied that having any truth to it.
