• The cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunite and discuss the legacy of Willow and Tara’s relationship. Joss Whedon, the show’s creator, said he didn’t think about how a same-sex couple in Buffy would change people’s lives. Amber Benson, the actress who played Tara, called it a “beautiful relationship”. “It wasn’t gratuitous, it wasn’t about two girls making out,” Benson added. “It was about two people who both happen to identify as female who fall in love.” Alyson Hannigan, who played Willow, felt the relationship was “groundbreaking.” (GSN)
