“Spike was at all times a ‘unhealthy boy,’ but it surely was apparent that he cared about Buffy and cherished her (even when it bordered on obsession generally, he was a soulless vampire, and it was purported to be intense and dramatic). I at all times thought these two had WAY extra chemistry than she and Angel ever did, and I rooted for them so exhausting, however then the rape plot occurred. It was so uncomfortable and excessive.” —Margaritaluv
James Marsters, who performed Spike, later revealed that taking pictures this scene was probably the most tough day of his total profession: “It despatched me into remedy. I collapsed on set. I couldn’t even communicate. I used to be shaking. That was a horrible day…when that script got here…I used to be legally compelled to try this scene. It wasn’t enjoyable to observe, in all probability, but it surely wasn’t enjoyable to movie both.”
