Page "Sarah Michelle Gellar" Paragraph 14

During her growing film career Gellar continued work on the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer ; however, she decided to leave the show after the seventh season.

When asked why, she explained, " This isn't about leaving for a career in movies, or in theater – it's more of a personal decision.

I need a rest.

" Shortly after the show's end, Gellar stated that she had no interest in appearing in a Buffy feature film, but that she will consider it if the script is good enough.

She did not appear in the final season of Angel, causing the intended episode (" You're Welcome ") to be rewritten for the character of Cordelia Chase.

Gellar has said that she was willing to appear in the episode, but scheduling conflicts and family problems prevented it.

Another actress, Giselle Loren, voiced Buffy for an animated series based on the show, which never aired, and the various Buffy video games.
