Listen closely at the 2mins36secs mark in the video below, and you&#x2019;ll hear Angel say &#x201C;It&#x2019;s okay, Sarah,&#x201D; instead of calling her by her character name. According to legend, Gellar was so invested in Buffy and Angel&#x2019;s relationship that she was genuinely sobbing during filming and Boreanaz slipped up and comforted her.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g_iehSxGnGI\" height=\"347\" width=\"616\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And as for those other burning questions, here&#x2019;s some of the best snippets from the interview:<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did James Marsters&#x2019; hair feel like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SMG: Ha! Well at the time on Buffy, over-processed. As any woman knows what it&#x2019;s like.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your favourite Buffy episode to work on?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My first one is The Prom because I just love that whole story, and I thought it just encapsulated the show so well. It was beautiful and heartbreaking.<\/li>\n<li>I also love Hush because I think it&#x2019;s not just the scariest episode we&#x2019;ve ever done but the challenge to do a silent episode &#x2013; I thought it would be easy but it was way harder.<\/li>\n<li>And the other favorite I love is The Body, because it was beyond difficult and heart wrenching to shoot, and I don&#x2019;t know if many people know this, but my entire first scene was all done in one take. It was 4-5 minutes of one long take.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What is your favourite pizza?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SMG: Mushroom! With extra cheese. Thin crust. New York style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buffy The Vampire Slayer Seasons 1-7 is available on DVD for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Buffy-Vampire-Slayer-Complete-Packaging\/dp\/B005MX6Y6E&tag=scifinowmag-21\">&#xA3;80.16 from Amazon.co.uk<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar on her favourite episodes and what Spike&#8217;s hair felt like<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":57429,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"Uncategorized","MSN_Publish_Option":false,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":""},"categories":[1,7,207],"tags":[1249,274],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Buffy-and-Angel.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57421"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57421\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
