Sarah Michelle Gellar spoke candidly about on-set tensions between herself and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” castmates. Speaking to author Evan Ross Katz for the book “Into Every Generation A Slayer Is Born: How Buffy Staked Our Hearts,” Gellar admitted to having a contentious relationship with Alyson Hannigan. “It wasn’t rosy. Nobody gets along all the time. And Alyson and I had moments,” the series star told Katz (via BuzzFeed). Gellar placed part of the blame on their “young” age.
She also believes the “really hard hours” and social pressures contributed to the rift between her and Hannigan. “I think that unfortunately, the set we were on and the world we were in was pitting us against each other,” she told Katz. “I think it would have been different if it was today,” Gellar added. Fortunately, the pair were able to leave any on-set feuds behind. “But we have a great relationship now,” Gellar added.
Although the “Scooby-Doo” actor was overworked while working on “Buffy,” years later she was able to fully appreciate what the series accomplished. “Sometimes you need distance to really understand the gravitas of that,” Gellar told Entertainment Weekly in 2017 for a reunion cover story of the beloved show. She also shouted out Hannigan in a heartfelt Instagram post at the time. “Alyson, as any woman knows, you are nothing without the love and support of great female friends, so thank you for being that,” Gellar wrote.
