Sarah Michelle Gellar & David Boreanaz
Interview on WB11
Reporter: And if you saw tonight's season finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you saw the end of one of television's hottest romances with the death of Angel, the vampire. However, we have it on good authority that Angel is in fact alive. And in fact the WB is resurrecting the hunky vampire by giving David Boreanaz his own show next year. Roby Chavez talked with Boreanaz and Buffy's Sarah Michelle Gellar and got the inside scoop all about next season.
[Cut to clip's from tonight's ep:]
Buffy: Hello lover
Angelus: I don't have time for you.
Buffy: You don't have a lot of time left.
Reporter: Dumping a boyfriend is never easy but when he's a vampire that's got your heart, killing him off is well, going to get a bit ugly. To say the couple fights a lot is an understatement.
[Cut to Spike pummeling Angel from behind. Cut to Angel:]
Angel (to Buffy) What's left?
Buffy catches the sword between her hands. Buffy: Me. (Proceeds to knock Angel over backwards)
The season finale is farewell for Buffy and Angel after a season of a forbidden heated affair. It took 4 days for the two stars to prepare for this swordfight.
[Cut to fight]
SMG: It was actually a very difficult fight. We all came out of that pretty bruised. I had some bad bruises, so there were some broken fingers and it was a brutal fight, but I think from the finished product it was incredibly worth it.
DB: It was amazing how we just picked up on it, we just got into a groove, we were focused and we just let if fly and it was a great. It was a great battle and we had a lot fun with it. When it was over we didn't want it to be over, (laughs) we wanted to continue fighting with the swords.
[Cut to clip of Buffy and Angel hugging]
Angel: God, I feel like I haven't seen you for months.
Reporter: But it was over and Angel was killed. Due to the demons, but not before a very moving emotional scene that left even the stars overwhelmed. Sarah Michelle Gellar knew it was goodbye.
[Cut to Buffy and Angel's goodbye kiss. Ends with Buffy stabbing Angel, he begins to be sucked into the Vortex.]
SMG: David and I are incredible friends, he's one of my best friends. And to do that heartbreaking scene, I was crying afterwards and for about 5 minutes we just kind of held each other there because it was where you have to break that line of , okay this isn't real.
Reporter: But with vampires and television you're never realy dead. Especially when you're one of the new faces of Hollywood. It doesn't hurt to be a hunk too.
David Boreanaz's spin off "Angel" will debut on the WB network in 1999. Angel moves to LA.
DB: I gotta pay for a lot of my sins that I've done in the past you know 8 weeks of being evil. So if-when I come back I got a lot of people to answer to and its not gonna be fun.
Reporter: The chemistry between Buffy and Angel has been a big hit. It has kept fans wanting more. Both stars say its because behind the scenes, they are friends. The only thing they won't say is whether or not there will be a reunion.
DB: I'll go on back and visit her in Sunnydale and make sure that her next boyfriend is not, you know,treating her roughly or anything, because we can't have any of that.
Reporter: It is a hit, but by the end of the finale even more questions remain. Like: How will Angel come back? Will he remember Buffy? Where is she going? Stay tuned. Roby Chavez for the WB11, news @ 10.
