It doesn't feel that long ago but watching the nightly week-day re-runs on E4, it is amusing to see how young the actors and actresses who lived above the Hell Mouth in Sunnydale look although it does give a sad tinge of 'where did those years go?'
We were wondering just what the cast have been doing since the last show aired and some seemed to have faired better than others.
Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Geller)
Gellar moved into movies, most well know being 'I Know What You Did Last Summer', 'Scream 2' 'Scooby-Doo' and 'The Grudge' and married fellow Scooby actor Freddie Prinze Jnr.
Willow (Alyson Hannigan)
Alyson shifted her Willow character across to Angel and then starred in the American Pie movies and has been a permanent fixture in the TV sitcom 'How I Met Your Mother'. She married Alexis Denisorf who played Wesley.
Xander (Nicholas Brendon)
Brendon stayed in TV and appeared in TV series, Criminal Minds, and now writes Buffy comic books.
Angel (David Boreanaz)
The very easy on the eye Boreanaz starred in his TV series spin-off Angel until 2004 and now stars as FBI Special Agent, Seeley Booth, on the television crime drama series Bones.
Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter)
Carpenter moved from Buffy to Angel and then onto another supernatural TV show Charmed. After appearing in several TV shows, she played the role of Lacy in The Expendables movie.
Spike (James Marsters)
Despite his immaculate English accent, Marsters is American and also made the move across to Angel and appeared in Smallville, the Dr Who spin-off Torchwood and the short lived revival of Hawaii Five O but has now carved out a career narrating audiobooks.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (Alesix Denisof)
Denisof was another who joined the cast of Angel and then moved into theatre and made a fleeting appearance in 'How I met Your Mother' alongside his wife Alyson Hannigan and appeared in movies 'The Avengers' and 'Much Ado About Nothing'.
Dawn Summer (Michelle Trachtenberg)
Trachtenberg starred in Six Feet Under and in the movies 'Harriet the Spy', 'Inspector Gadget' and 'Black Christmas'.
Oz (Seth Green)
Green went on to create 'Robot Chicken', appear in movies 'The Italian Job', 'Party Monster' and 'Austin Powers' series but is most well known for his voice role as Chris Griffin on Family Guy.
Anya (Emma Caulfield)
Since dying at the end of Buffy, she has appeared in movies 'Darkness Falls' and TiMER.
Joyce Summers (Kristine Sutherland)
On leaving the Buffy series, Sutherland attended a photography course and subsequently set up a photography studio.
Faith (Eliza Dushku)
Dushku was another who joined the cast of Angel and then into her own supernatural series, Tru Calling. Her movies include 'True Lies', 'Wrong Turn' and 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'.
Drusilla (Juliet Landau)
Landau also joined Angel and has since appeared in several Tim Burton projects
Every now and then someone suggests a reunion and possibly a new Buffy film but as much as a Buffy fan as i was, and still am, i want to remember the wise-cracking teenagers of the late nineties and early noughties as they were, a TV show that was as near to perfect as it gets.
