Amber Benson: At this point, I'm still a recurring character in the Buffyverse, but someday I hope to ascend to the opening credits stratosphere. I just hope they'd use the kiss from the body in my opening stuff. Hehe.
I hope they do to

I also worry that her character won't be examined more in S6 if she's not a regular. There are so many issues about Tara that he could build stories around, but I'm afraid he'll let those opportunities slip away.

Whatever the reasons are behind Amber not being in the credits, I don't think it's a cause for concern. We (admittedly biased) folks may not think it's fair, but I don't think we can take it as a portent of doom.

My fear was that maybe Amber for some reason did not want to be in the credits. I did not believe it to be so, but I feared it nonetheless. I am not worried she will leave the show. I have said it before, I think she and Tara are too important a part to BtVS now. She is not going anywhere. Bob, do the mantra please.

So while I still wish that I could look forward to turning on my TV Tuesday nights next season and seeing a montage of Ambery goodness with her name in the credits, and I'm a bit surprised to find that Amber wanted it and it was Joss's decision, I trust the man. I'll go with it. 
I've also got these weird, very vague speculations that could be very cool. But I'm not going to say anything about them, because every time I talk about these things, I end up jinxing them. It kinda sucks.

Speaking of Armin, I could go outside the Buffyverse and point out that several actors did a solid seven years as recurring characters on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Marc Alaimo, Aron Eisenberg, Rosalind Chao, Max Grodenchik, and Andrew Robinson were all part of the recurring cast from early in Season 1 to the very end of Season 7, and several other actors, including Louise Fletcher, Chase Masterson, Jeffrey Combs, Salome Jens and Penny Johnson did multi-year stints as well.

Whatever the reasons for her not being a regular, whatever. I am sure she'll have her screentime this year and next.And it's great to see Amber and Jen's site getting some press. It rocks.

posted June 22, 2001 11:23 I agree with you Bob. Tara has had an entire episode devoted to her. In fact we know as much about her background as we do about say, Willow's. Not even mentioning Anya and Xander. There are questions to be answered for sure. And I believe we will get them.My fear was that maybe Amber for some reason did not want to be in the credits. I did not believe it to be so, but I feared it nonetheless. I am not worried she will leave the show. I have said it before, I think she and Tara are too important a part to BtVS now. She is not going anywhere. Bob, do the mantra please.

So while I still wish that I could look forward to turning on my TV Tuesday nights next season and seeing a montage of Ambery goodness with her name in the credits, and I'm a bit surprised to find that Amber wanted it and it was Joss's decision, I trust the man. I'll go with it.
I've also got these weird, very vague speculations that could be very cool. But I'm not going to say anything about them, because every time I talk about these things, I end up jinxing them. It kinda sucks.

Speaking of Armin, I could go outside the Buffyverse and point out that several actors did a solid seven years as recurring characters on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

posted June 22, 2001 13:56 I'll side with Bob and Roxton; I'm not particularly worried. They've already cited Seth Green and Marc Blucas, so I'll take the other side and comment that Kristine Sutherland spent a solid five seasons as a recurring character. Around these parts, that's some pretty good longevity! Granted, she wasn't in every episode, but that didn't stop Joyce Summers from becoming a well-known and well-loved part of the cast of characters. And then, consider how many significant moments in the past two seasons have involved Tara in some way, and how pivotal she's been, especially in the latter part of season five.So while I still wish that I could look forward to turning on my TV Tuesday nights next season and seeing a montage of Ambery goodness with her name in the credits, and I'm a bit surprised to find that Amber wanted it and it was Joss's decision, I trust the man.

I have said it before, I think she and Tara are too important a part to BtVS now. She is not going anywhere. Bob, do the mantra please.
Editing: nevermind, I see you already did.

I like that- that's going to be my new sig - "It's not a portent of doom." (hee hee!)

So while I still wish that I could look forward to turning on my TV Tuesday nights next season and seeing a montage of Ambery goodness with her name in the credits, and I'm a bit surprised to find that Amber wanted it and it was Joss's decision, I trust the man. I'll go with it.
I've also got these weird, very vague speculations that could be very cool. But I'm not going to say anything about them, because every time I talk about these things, I end up jinxing them. It kinda sucks.

Speaking of Armin, I could go outside the Buffyverse and point out that several actors did a solid seven years as recurring characters on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Marc Alaimo, Aron Eisenberg, Rosalind Chao, Max Grodenchik, and Andrew Robinson were all part of the recurring cast from early in Season 1 to the very end of Season 7, and several other actors, including Louise Fletcher, Chase Masterson, Jeffrey Combs, Salome Jens and Penny Johnson did multi-year stints as well.

posted June 22, 2001 12:30 That's funny how you can see both sides of it. If it's Amber who doesn't want it, then you worry that she's thinking about moving away from acting, but if it's Joss who doesn't want it, you worry about what's going on in that creative little brain of his.[This message has been edited by Naturegal (edited June 22, 2001).]

posted June 22, 2001 12:49 I'm not going to worry about Joss not making Amber a regular. As Bob pointed out being in the credits doesn't guarantee that an actor is going to stay with the show. I think Joss has too much invested in the Willow/Tara relationship to let anything happen to her.

posted June 22, 2001 13:56 I'll side with Bob and Roxton; I'm not particularly worried. They've already cited Seth Green and Marc Blucas, so I'll take the other side and comment that Kristine Sutherland spent a solid five seasons as a recurring character. Around these parts, that's some pretty good longevity! Granted, she wasn't in every episode, but that didn't stop Joyce Summers from becoming a well-known and well-loved part of the cast of characters. And then, consider how many significant moments in the past two seasons have involved Tara in some way, and how pivotal she's been, especially in the latter part of season five.So while I still wish that I could look forward to turning on my TV Tuesday nights next season and seeing a montage of Ambery goodness with her name in the credits, and I'm a bit surprised to find that Amber wanted it and it was Joss's decision, I trust the man.

I'm not really worried- I get the sense Tara and Amber aren't leaving BtVS anytime soon. I'd just be happier knowing why.
