What was the most challenging part of season five for you to film?

Buffy’s mother’s death [in The Body], was really hard to shoot. It was hard on all of us emotionally and it was really rewarding to do an episode about death in a way that we don’t normally handle when we kill monsters and vampires every week of the show.

We never really deal with death and that was pretty cool. It’s a great episode, it’s really different, completely stripped bare. My character was able to go some place which she hadn’t really been able to go, which was nice.
