It’s like Sunnydale, but in the Fediverse! Just without all the mysterious
deaths and snake demons and magic! A community for all things Buffy the Vampire
Slayer. Sure, and Angel, too, why not, we have room. Community Rules: 1: Don’t
be a jerk. Engage in civil discussion or you will be cursed. 2: Keep posts on
topic for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, related media. 3: Do not summon
demons with trinkets you found at the Magic Box.
I thought an actress in Dexter: New Blood looked like SMG, at least at some angles. But she didn’t appear in the credits so it obviously wasn’t her. But the resemblance was uncanny. And the voice as well. By the last episode I snatched a glimpse of “Guest starring: Sarah Michelle Gellar”. I felt pretty stupid.
But what makes a role a guest role? She was in basically every episode. A normal supporting character. If there are more seasons she’ll probably be playing the same role in every episode. Maybe I should pose that question to !television@piefed.social
There’s a whole hierarchy about pay and credit with actors and roles, and the SAG-AFA union. Typically anything that’s a guest role means it’s an episode-by-episode contract for a limited block of episodes.
“Guest Starring” would mean that she’s a lead character, but not for the entire run of the show. So the writers and producers are free to kill off the character if they want, for example.
