"This was on Fox News 11 Network, which in my town is the channel they show Buffy on, but neways Collen Bates, one of the new reporters did an interview with her, and i taped it, this isn't word for wrod but this is realllly basically how it went....

You can catch her weekly on one of this network's biggest shows. Buffy The Vampire Slayer. 42 Sutherland plays the slayer's (sarah michelle gellar) mother.

Collen- So this is your 5th season on Buffy?
Kristen- Yes indeed it is.
Collen- How much work is it on the set of Buffy?
Kristen- Well, for me its pretty smooth, but for characters with bigger roles such as Sarah, Alyson, and James. its extremely hard and the work dwells on you. I swear sometimes after finishing a hard day of shooting they are like zombies.
Collen- Now this season your character seems to be facing some health issues?
Kristen- Yes, Buffy's Mom has a brain tumor. And Joss is leading my character into a new direction. His plans for the rest of the season are brillant and unstopable.
Collen- Can you tell us anything about what's going to happen??
Kristen- I couldn't say much without leaking too much info, but basically keep watching, what you think you know will be totally warped, especially in upcoming episodes.
Collen- Thanks Again, tune into Buffy. Tuesdays at 10 p.m.

They show some scenes from the upcoming episode Listening to Fear (which is new to us)
and they show Kristen in a chair laughing.

Collen- Starting in January new episodes begin again for Buffy The Vampire Slayer correct?
Kristen- Yes they do. Its exciting
Collen- What's going to happen to your character?
Kristen- Well I can't say too much, but however my final episode for the season is episode 16, and I'll be going out in a bang. Joyce Summers is going to be having memory problems and such, and it's going to affect her daughter in a big way.
Collen- Well thank you so much, everyone tune in for the live broadcast with David Greenwalt on January 9th of Buffy "
