   37. Whedon claimed Buffy’s mother was the hardest character for him to kill   
   off.   
   38. The Buffy stories continue in the form of comic books. Some of the TV   
   writers also work on the comics.   
   39. The show almost became an animated series, but no one wanted to pick it   
   up.   
   40. While she was on the show, Gellar purposefully tried to keep out of the   
   public eye so young fans wouldn’t see Buffy with a drink or cigarette in her   
   hand.   
   41. Eliza Dushku (Faith) grew up a Mormon and therefore refused to ever do   
   any nude scenes in the show.   
   42. The rest of the cast only found out Buffy the Vampire Slayer was ending   
   when Gellar announced it in the media.   
   43. Britney Spears almost guest-starred. She was lined up to play robot   
   April in Season 5, but her schedule wouldn’t allow it.   
   44. Oz, played by Seth Green, was the only character based on someone Joss   
   Whedon knew.   
   45. Buffy got turned into a rat in Season 2, partly because Gellar needed   
   time off to appear on her first Saturday Night Live slot.   
   46. Gellar’s future husband, Freddie Prinze Jr, wanted a role in the show,   
   and almost played Dracula in Season 5.   
   47. At one point, before Season 7, Gellar and Brendon proposed a romance   
   storyline between Buffy and Xander to Whedon. But he wanted to keep them as   
   platonic friends.   
   48. Sarah Michelle and Alyson are the only two Buffy stars who appeared in   
   every episode of the show (144 in total). Nicholas Brendon missed one   
   episode.  [Conversations With Dead People]
