Anya

Is this true? I don't know much about anything went behind the scenes - But I did hear there was lots of behind the scenes tension between all the cast members due to Sarah Michelle Gellar? Is there any truth into that? It'll be interesting to know if that was the case.. Maybe I'm reading too much into that comment, Emma made.

I think it was just the same amount of tension you get in any work place. Add in the lack of sleep and the amount of hours they worked and things were bound to get stressful, but I don't think it was ever anything that effected the cast and crew's relationships with one another. The kinda tension that is about the workplace and stays in the workplace.

I mean Alyson Hannigan said how she was a bit cheesed off that she only found out that she was out of a job by reading an article in a magazine that Buffy was ending; Sarah hadn't told her herself that she was quitting. However Alyson, to my knowledge, has never said anything against the fellow actress so I'm assuming it was no hard feelings. And I think it was the same as regards to Emma.

I try not to read into these things too much as I wasn't there so I never actually know, haha.

Emma wanted to leave after S7 anyway, but ya ofcourse working with anyone that many years and for so many hours they are going to get on your nerves every now and then. But if she is willing to come back for a movie, I doubt she has any hard feelings against anyone on the show.

As far as Anya appearing in S8, as much as I would love it! If it isnt in a flashback then I dont know if I would want her to come back unless it was really good. (maybe have her be working for the Powers)

Ahh thanks, I try not to read into what the media reported. I do remember Alison saying that Sarah had announced it in a interview instead of going to her. Oh well. Well working on Buffy must have had hideious hours, day in day out so you are right so a bit of tension of some sort is probably to build.

You know, a couple of ideas I had while still in bed at 11:30am.
Maybe D'hoffryn could be involved.

A. D'hoffryn really loved Anya (not in a willow/tara way) and was truly sad she died, so when she finally did die he teleported her body to Arashmahar and either repaired her somehow...lol, or made her a demon again against her wishes and reapaired her. I am not even saying it's possible, but I guess with Jossy anything is.

B. Glad she died as he foresaw and wanted to make her live again just so he could torment her some more? Try to have her killed repeatedly. I mean, he did it in season 7. Sent baddies after her even though he knew her future.

Those would be two very interesting angles and would also bring our D'hoffryn back. Cause I really love him and Anya.

Then it could happen sometime after Xander's feelings grow even more for Renee, and then he can be torn between the two women.

Hey...I have to give him an interesting storyline some how! 🙂

After "Selfless" I really sincerely doubt it.

D'hoffryn not only washed his hands of Anya entirely, but sent waves of Demons after her to kill her after promising not to.

She cost him two Vengeance Demons, one by renouncing her own nature and the other by paying that price with Halfrek's soul.

Both of them are gone. But not in a way that prevents Anya's spirit from being contacted or manifesting for a limited time in our world. Which can be done and told well in any number of ways.
