A recap of Buffy/Angel gossip that has been around for years


https://www.datalounge.com/thread/16973085-gossip-from-the-sets-of-various-tv-shows

- Joss is a passive-aggressive egomaniac who pit the cast, crew, writers against each other for kicks. Basically a hetero Ryan Murphy. Never left high school mentality and enjoyed patronizing the 'jocks'/'cheerleaders' of the cast (SMG, David, Charisma etc) while keeping the 'geeks' wrapped round his finger (Alyson, Nick, Alexis, Amy etc). Has an anorexia fetish and despite being chubby himself loved making fun of the women when they put on some weight. Enjoyed fucking Amy Acker and Summer Glau.

- SMG and Alyson were both cunty. SMG in the more, humorless/stuck up/antisocial way. Alyson is a more bitchy/manipulative/high school way. But both are more likeable than Joss. They were best friends early seasons until they had a falling out roughly around season 2/3. Then Alyson developed a clique with Nick, Tony and various writers/crew members and iced the others out (mostly SMG and later James, Emma and Amber).

- SMG was extremely anorexic and a nightmare to work with during season 4. Once she started eating again, she mellowed. Her moods changed with her up-and-down weight changes.

- In terms of gay gossip, Seth is bisexual. He prefers bottoming with dudes and I've never heard of him being in a relationship with a dude, just hook ups and fuck buddies. David is a sex addict and therefore is heteroflexible and in his time didn't mind a pretty twink sucking him off no strings attached. I'm guessing Nick was the same while drunk (but thats just speculation on my part). J August Richards (Gunn) is gay but keeps it quiet. Alyson and Eliza have fooled around with girls. Tom Lenk and the guy who played Lorne (RIP) were openly gay.

- Alyson hated Amber but that subject has been discussed so many times here I can't be bothered going over it again. None of the cast/crew really knew the full story behind it, probably just a personality clash since Alyson was a party girl groupie type and Amber was socially retarded.

- Joss took out his high school geek bullshit on Charisma constantly because she was the traditionally beautiful cheerleader archetype. During season 3 of Angel, she developed a drinking problem but instead of dealing with it internally he got the cast and crew to do a on set intervention which led to her getting written out for a few episodes. Combined with all his hair requests, this destroyed their 'friendship' which led to the whole pregnancy/Cordelia fucking Connor debacle that ended with her getting fired. The whole thing left a sour taste in David's mouth as him and Charisma were close.

- Emma was basically Anya in real life. I think she had aspergers. Just very odd.

- James means well but he is a bit of a sleaze and a loser who never really grew up. He never networked properly and is pretty broke now. After the show, he spent many years fucking fans from conventions until he married one of them, some weird 'artist' bitch in her early 20s.

- Michelle was just a kid during the show obviously but nowdays she is famous in certain NYC circles for being a damn mess. She loves black cock and going after married black men and making a fool of herself at events while coked up. 'Don't you know who I am' kinda shit. Ask any rapper in NY and they've probably had her.

Josh is a Simp and Left Winger so it is no surprise really.

SMG is no surprise in terms of being "Cunty". Even the way she played Buffy was largely humourless. And of the gag reels I have seen she is seldom involved which indicates to me that she did not want her mistakes shown.

Alyson probably did better than SMG overall and being young, so yeah attitude problem very possible.

Who is David?

Amber's character seemed socially retarded and given most actors just play themselves it's no surprise.

David Boreanaz, Angel

reply

Of course! For some reason I didn't think of that.

reply

What they wrote about David Boreanaz really seems to fit with how that guy comes across in interviews and backstage footage. He's always got this douchiness about him that reminds me a little bit of Jason Priestly but with more testosterone (though it's ironic since he liked fairy boys to go down on him, and I've never heard of any rumors of Priestly swinging that way).

reply

I kind of see Boreanaz as a bully who thinks he is hilarious. Enjoying the idea of a guy going down on him for the sake of comedy rather than any sexual pleasure. Especially when he was younger and was doing quite well for himself with Buffy and Angel.

I am pretty sure his failure to switch to movies took the wind out of his sails a bit.

reply

I mean.. I'd also enjoy fucking Summer Glau.

reply

I actually met SMG once.

One of the fight choreographers didn't like her: https://popcultmaster.com/2016/05/13/obscure-anecdotes/
