Here's an article about Tru from TV & Satelite Week:
Leap of Faith
As rogue slayer Faith in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Eliza Dushku personified evil. now, however, she's redeeming herself, playing the do-gooding heroine of Sky One's supernatural drama Tru Calling.
The show is like a cross between The Sixth Sense, Six Feet Under and Groundhog Day. Dushku plays Tru Davis, a morgue worker who is able to relive the previous day and save the poeple who have wound up as corpses in her morgue.
'I think the idea of changing your fate is something that people are really intrigued by,' explains the 23 year old. 'People always think, "What if? What if I could go back an hour or a day?"' Her character has that feeling more than most. When Tru was 12, she witnessed the murder of her mother and could do nothing to prevent it. The killing has secerly traumatised her siblings - sister Meredith (Jessica Collins) dabbles with drugs and brother Harrison (Shawn Reaves) is addicted to gambling - and Tru uses her powers to help them as well as the dead.
Dushku was offered her own Buffy spin-off, but turned it down in favour of Tru Calling. 'I wanted to try something different, to take the road less travelled,' she says. 'But I was extremely flattered and excited that they included me in the season finale of Buffy.'
Much as she is enjoying being the good girl on Tru Calling, she admits to missing wicked Faith at times. 'It's fun playing the bad girl. It was exciting to be completely off the wall and psychotic. And I got to kiss David Boreanaz when I was evil, which was cool.'
