On a network TV landscape filled with plenty of generic, basic plotlines (doctors and lawyers and cops, oh my), The CW’s upcoming series Ringer instantly stands out, with its complex, intriguing storyline. In her first series since Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as Bridget, a woman with a troubled past, who finds herself on the run after she witnesses a crime. When Bridget’s much better off twin sister, Siobhan (also played by Gellar), kills herself — with no one but Bridget aware of this fact — Bridget assumes Siobhan’s identity, only to discover her sister...

“I just met, touched, gushed to, remained professional with and interviewed Sarah Michelle
Gellar!!!!!!”
That was the text my friend received around 9:30am this morning as one more item on my Bucket List was X-ed off at The CW Upfronts, where Sarah Michelle Gellar was promoting her triumphant return to television, “Ringer.” It was an interaction I feared since my well-documented obsession with “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” shows no signs of lessening despite being off the air for almost ten years! A decade that has seen small screens sadly SMG-free as she dabbled in film and family....

So many people have started bitching about the show. Saying that the quality of the green-screening is crap and that the dialogue was boring and sometimes pointless...but here's how I see it (from a SMG fan's perspective).

Sarah has been away from TV for what...8 years? Everybody is always complaining that she has done too many failed movies (some of which did better than what people said!) and that she should return to television. Well guess what people, she has. And how do you repay her? You trash her work!

The problem is is that people expect this to be Buffy and it wont be, she said that...

Sarah Michelle Gellar has admitted that her role in new CW series Ringer proved challenging.

The former Buffy star will play identical twin sisters in the drama, which also stars Ioan Gruffudd and Nestor Carbonell.

"With Buffy, I got to do so much," she told Entertainment Weekly. "So what do you do next? What do you do that an audience hasn't seen you do?

"Bringing to life two characters and making them different, but at the same time interesting, and [showing] the similarities is definitely a challenge I've never done."

Gellar also claimed that her long break from television was due to a desire...
