BUFFY Update

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER co-executive producer Marti Noxon has been talking about the changes and additions that are coming for the series in its first season on UPN.

While talking to TV Guide, Noxon revealed that the coming Halloween episode of the series will also serve to expand on the program's cast, particularly focusing on Dawn's life in high school. Amber Tamblyn (GENERAL HOSPITAL) will guest star playing Dawn's friend, Janice. As for what happens in the episode, Noxon says, "The episode revolves around Dawn and Janice and the misadventure that they get into. It's a Buffy Halloween extravaganza!"

Tamblyn's entrance, which may result in a recurring role, says that this new character will serve to provide "an opportunity to do some of the stuff that we didn't get to with Sarah Michelle Gellar when Buffy was in high school."

Beyond that, Noxon also adds that another familiar face will be returning. She says, "Amy the rat is coming back, as a person."

Meanwhile Noxon adds that a number of other faces will not be returning any time soon. Regarding Marc Blucas, Noxon says that his possible appearance is "a big, big maybe. It depends on if Marc Blucas is available. He's turning into a big, fancy movie guy... Between him and Seth Green [Oz], we're stuck."

And then she adds, "And forget about Eliza Dushku [Faith] we can't get her back."
