Which Buffy The Vampire Slayer Co-Star Did Sarah Michelle Geller Speak To After Landing Role In Dexter: Original Sin? Actress Reveals

As an ardent fan of both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dexter, I can’t help but feel like I’ve stumbled upon a magical TV crossover event! Sarah Michelle Gellar’s life experience is nothing short of extraordinary, with her seamless transition from the role of Buffy Summers to that of a Dexter co-star. It’s as if she’s been given a secret power to leap between worlds, and I can’t help but wonder – will she summon Angel next?

It appears that Sarah Michelle Gellar frequently maintains contact with her former acting colleagues, as evidenced by her reaching out to Julie Benz – a fellow cast member from Buffy the Vampire Slayer – when she secured a part in Dexter: Original Sin, as reported by People magazine.

Gellar discussed this during a chat with the press at the debut of the Dexter prequel on December 11th in New York City. According to the article, Benz was part of the original Dexter show until 2010, featuring in all five seasons.

According to Gellar, she and Benz have had numerous discussions about the project. She pointed out that Benjamin McKenzie played Dexter’s girlfriend, Rita, and was also the mother of Harrison, who is Dexter’s son. The actress from Cruel Intentions mentioned that Benz has been eager for the prequel, and they have recently talked about it.

In terms of her involvement with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Juliet Landau (Benz) made appearances during the first, second, and fifth seasons, portraying Darla. Additionally, she was included in the series’ spinoff, Angel, in 2004.

Enthusiasts of the initial Dexter series found the news of its prequel particularly joyful. They were delighted upon hearing who was joining the cast, with names like Gellar, Patrick Dempsey, Patrick Gibson, among others, being included.

Earlier, during an interview with People magazine, the actress who starred in I Know What You Did Last Summer shared her appreciation for the Dexter TV show.

The actress mentioned that if someone were to look back at some of her past interviews, they might find that she has expressed interest in being a guest character on “Dexter” multiple times when asked about shows or movies she wished she had been involved with.

Later on, Gibson proposed that perhaps Gellar embodied her character, and she agreed, simply stating that it could be true. She underscored her point, revealing her enthusiasm for the series as a dedicated fan.

The actress shared that she frequently lamented not being involved in Dexter due to its compelling character developments. She also warned, “Be mindful of what you long for.
