Sarah Michelle Gellar Surprises Alyson Hannigan by Disclosing That Buffy Stars’ Children Auditioned for the Revival (Exclusive)

Behind the Scenes with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan

The buzz around the new revival had barely started when I noticed an interesting tidbit: Ryan Kiera Armstrong is stepping into the spotlight as the fresh teen lead. There’s something about the revival of an iconic series that gets everyone talking, you know? And just when you think you’ve heard it all, Sarah Michelle Gellar drops a hint about some familiar faces possibly returning.

In a chat with her former costar Alyson Hannigan, they both shared laughs and stories while promoting GSK’s Ask2BeSure campaign. Alyson, still vibrant with excitement, mentioned, “I know somebody who auditioned for something on the show.” It’s almost like peeking into their private conversations – makes me wonder who else might be joining…

Gellar wasn’t holding back either, teasing us more by saying, “I know somebody who was on the show whose child auditioned.” Suddenly, Alyson’s curiosity piqued. “It better not have been one of my kids!” she laughed, picturing her daughters, Satyana and Keeva, unexpectedly trying out.

Alyson shares a lovely story about meeting her husband, Alexis Denisof, during season 3. Seems like love blossomed on set despite warnings from Anthony Stewart Head. I find it amusing when she recalls how he advised against dating coworkers. On anniversaries, she humorously thanks him for the advice – it’s always those little moments that stick with you.

The couple tied the knot in 2003, and honestly, it seemed inevitable. Gellar recalled watching another whirlwind romance between Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, predicting their happy ending too. Makes you think of those times you just know something’s going to work out…

Meanwhile, Gellar herself has been happily married to Freddie Prinze Jr. since 2002. It’s sweet hearing them talk about maintaining friendships over decades; understanding seems to be their secret sauce.

Lately, they’ve been busy with Ask2BeSure – aiming to enlighten families about meningitis risks. Alyson emphasized how crucial it is for parents to ask about vaccinations during doctor visits. With so much going on as a parent, it’s easy for things to slip through the cracks.

Gellar chimed in about empowering teens to advocate for themselves – it’s this transitional phase where they’re learning to take charge of their health. The website focuses on providing information without fear-mongering (thank goodness). It’s startling to learn that one in ten affected may not survive and many others face severe consequences.

This campaign isn’t just about questions and answers – it’s encouraging young people to speak up. “If you don’t know, ask,” Gellar wisely said. Modeling this behavior is something both actresses strive for with their kids; doctors explain things far better than anyone else can.
