Sarah Michelle Gellar, Allison Hannigan Say ‘Buffy' Reboot Will Honor Michelle Trachtenberg: ‘We'll Do What's Appropriate'
During an interview with Parade, actresses Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan addressed the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' reboot — which was confirmed to be in the works for Hulu earlier this year — but the stars remained mum on details. 'I know never to say never, but I'm excited to hear what Sarah says it's like,' Hannigan said. More from IndieWire Lucie Arnaz Says 'You Can't Talk to Aaron Sorkin,' Reflecting on 'Being the Ricardos' - 'It Was So Wrong' With 'Good Night, and Good Luck' on CNN, George Clooney Trusts the Power of Live TV, One More Time 'That seems fair,' Gellar laughed. Gellar did confirm that the series would pay tribute to the late actress Michelle Trachtenberg, who played her younger sister Dawn Summers seasons 5 through 7. 'We'll be able to do something,' Gellar said. 'We'll do what's appropriate.' 'I'm sure it will be handled with utter grace,' Hannigan added. Gellar, who has reteamed with Hannigan for an awareness campaign surrounding meningitis vaccination, Ask2BSure, said that she and her former co-star share an easy rapport on set. 'We still finish each other's sentences. You know when I'm lost, and I know when you are,' she said. 'I think our … work habits are very similar, so when you approach things the same way, it just evolves.' 'Even shooting, I feel like we just had this … unspoken dialogue,' Hannigan said. Last month, Deadline reported that Ryan Kiera Armstrong would star alongside former cast members in the reboot's pilot — which so far is all that has been ordered. But Gellar was publicly resistant to the idea of a 'Buffy' reboot for many years, saying in 2022, 'I am very proud of the show that we created and it doesn't need to be done … We wrapped that up.' But Gellar flipped on the idea after hearing Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao's plan for the series' continuation. 'The passion that [she] came to me with, what she wanted to do with the show and the character, and why 'Buffy' is needed now — it was the first time where I thought, 'OK, there's a reason,'' Gellar told Elite Daily. In the same interview, she said the revival had been in the work for four years. 'We won't do it unless it's 100 percent right and there's 100 percent a reason,' she added. One place fans will not see Gellar is in the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' sequel, out July 18. The reboot's director said that Gellar resisted the idea of a return. 'I tried, OK? I harassed her! But she is dead,' Robinson told Entertainment Weekly. 'I tried to pitch some crazy shit too. I was like, 'What if it's like you weren't dead and you're actually alive, but in hiding?' And Sarah's like, 'I was on ice. I was the most dead a person could be. You can see my frozen body.' I was like, 'Yeah, but what if?' And she said, 'I am dead. I am Sarah Dead Gellar.''

Toddler Parenting Trends Parents Are Sick Of
Parenting in the age of social media is a unique beast. Between information overload and influencer overwhelm, there's a fervor for particular trends or products that can be A Lot. Recently, Reddit user ActualEmu1251 shared the toddler parenting trends they've HAD it with, and they made some points. Here's what they had to say: ActualEmu1251 also asked other parents what trends they're so done with, and even more points were made: "The 'holiday baskets' for every single holiday like Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, July 4…Like, your child does not need a new book and holiday t-shirt and toy every time there is a special day!" "Over-the-top, elaborate birthday parties. No, I am not going to make a balloon arch or rent a bouncy castle or have a snack table with an array of different colored matching desserts and an original cocktail named after my child." "The gift opening at parties drives me nuts! It just makes all the other kids jealous that they can't play with all the stuff at the party." "Sad beige/grey/'pastel' toys and clothes for babies and toddlers because parents want their homes to look cute on social media instead of letting their kids enjoy color." "Not saying 'good job/well done' to kids and instead saying stuff like 'you really worked hard at that'." "I used to think wooden toys were cute and fancy, and now I just think of how dangerous they can be when turned into projectiles." "I hate the whole Montessori toddler thing, like please don't show me a video about how my 3-year-old should have a whole functional miniature kitchen so she can cook eggs by herself. I can just cook her eggs for her. She's 3." "Why do I need to create fake mud with cereal when we have real mud, grass, stones, etc., outside for free?" "Someone telling you, 'you only get 18 summers with them' when every day feels like 12 days and every year feels like a century." "I hate being called 'mama' by anyone but my child. Hate." "I kept trying to get into a toy rotation habit and then realized that I don't care to spend my energy making sure my kid is excited about his toys. Some get naturally kind of hidden or put away for a while, and then he's happy to see them again, but I truly don't care if he's bored with them — he can go find something else to do in that case. I don't need to curate a selection of toys every week." "The mommy wine culture and promoting the idea that there is no other way to relax and that you need to drink excessively to parent your children." "I hate how boy clothes have essentially two vibes as they get older, sad beige baby or sport mode (black and other primary colors). It takes so much effort to dress a boy in bright colors." "The gendered everything! I'm not super hippy dippy or anything, but mine was never into astronauts, monster trucks, dinosaurs, etc., at all, but somehow it seemed like we had no choice but to buy items with these printed on them. And the fact that everything still has to be either bright blue or pink in this day and age. Just annoying." "Feeling like I have to research everything to death to find 'the best'. Last summer I spent WEEKS trying to find a sunscreen that was 'clean', reef-safe, etc. and not horrifically expensive. This summer I bought the Banana Boat 360 because I'm not wrestling my toddler every time we want to go in the sun to spread mineral goo all over his body and then ultimately have to scrub the excess off in the bath that night. I spray him, use a makeup brush to put some Up&Up brand mineral lotion on his face, and we go out. End of story." "Consultants. On any possible topic. Sleep consultant, potty training consultant, weaning consultant, lactation consultant, first bath consultant, you name it! This whole industry feels predatory. They make moms/dads feel incapable of parenting mostly through social media, just to monetize all these services." "I've seen moms on Instagram put makeup on their toddlers (I'm not talking makeup for pageants) like blush, eyelash extensions and tinted gloss." "Exploiting children on social media for likes, attention and/or $$$." Do you agree with being done with these trends? What parenting trends have you absolutely had it with?
