Alonna: in the Angel episode ‘War Zone’ Gunn’s sister Alonna (Michele Kelly) has become a vampire. Michele commented that there were many great things about having a part in Angel but that her least favourite was the makeup:
At first, it’s really wild to see yourself as a vamp. You are totally unrecognizable. Looking in the mirror for the first few times literally freaked me out. I felt disgusted and intrigued at the same time . . . Ugly and free . . . But after 4 or so hours in that makeup, I’m telling you, that sucker starts to ITCH!!! And the drag of it is that the makeup and prosthetics are so thick that you can’t even scratch. But compared to all the fun, I can deal.
Anne: in the Buffy episode ‘Lies My Parents Told Me’ we got to meet Spike’s mother, Anne (Caroline Lagerfelt) – well that explained a lot about Spike’s troubled personality.
