Besides all the great action scenes and terrifying creatures, this is one of the best things Buffy the Vampire Slayer It was all romantic melodrama with our favorite characters. in their own way, BuffyThe naughtiest couple was Xander and Willow, childhood best friends who only realized their feelings for each other after they both started dating other people. This led to a messy relationship that seems to have spilled over into the real world: according to Willow actress Alyson Hannigan, she hooked up with Xander actor Nicholas Brendon once.
Xander and Willow meet for real
The revelation that this naughty Buffy The couple came into contact in real life when Hannigan appeared on the Bravo TV show Watch what's happening live. During this show, host Andy Cohen gave the actor a very provocative command: “Tell us one Buffy An on-set hookup we didn't know about yet. In response, she gave an equally provocative answer: “I think Nick (Brendon) and I probably kissed once, like he was off camera.”
to Buffy Fans who raved about Willow and Xander as the naughtiest (and prettiest) couple on the show, this tea is understandably surprising. After all, the show made it clear that their characters were never meant to be together… Not only was Willow later revealed to be a lesbian, but Xander met the love of his life (and almost wife…damn you, season 6) Anya in the same season . So, there aren't nearly as many fans who wanted these actors to connect with each other as, for example, the number of fans who wanted to watch Sarah Michelle Gellar and her on-screen beau David Boreanaz meet in real life.
However, few Buffy Fans can't deny that Hannigan and Brendon's characters made for a cute couple during their naughty little relationship. Part of that came from the show's clever writing, of course, but part of it came from the actors' killer chemistry. It seems the chemistry led to a kiss and maybe something a little more: In the interview with Cohen, Hannigan followed up the surprise admission of kissing Brendon in real life by happily declaring: “Maybe he had tits or something.”

For example, during Watch what's happening liveShe told Cohen that actress and titular hero Sarah Michelle Gellar began to hate the show during the third season. She stressed that this was because Gellar was balancing those acting duties with a burgeoning big screen career and the pressures of fame, but her words did. For years it was rumored that Hannigan and Gellar had a nasty, ongoing feud.

Hannigan eventually married Alexis Denisof, who guest-starred Buffy Like Wesley Wyndam-Pryce before becoming a regular cast member on the spin-off angel. From fooling around with her on-screen partner to marrying a principled and appropriate observer, Hannigan seems to emulate Willow in one important way: she's rarely naughty.
