Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Kristine Sutherland has opened up about her "only regret" from her time on the show.
Known to fans as Joyce Summers, the mother of the titular vampire slayer, the actress was asked on podcast The Rewatcher if there were ever changes she would have liked to have made to her character.
"The only thing that I felt was missing was I wore a lot of mom clothes that I thought didn’t reflect my profession," she said. "It felt that… I thought Joyce could have been a lot more powerful in her work life.

"Yeah. I mean, you know, my friends who are lawyers wear double-pleated pants. I so did not want to wear double-pleated. A woman in an art gallery doesn’t wear doesn’t double-pleated pants."
Sutherland continued: "But you know, it’s like – and because I thought that that was an important part of the feminist story is that I would have liked to have explored more of Joyce’s work life. And had that filled out more. It felt sometimes like she just worked in an art gallery.
"There was one scene, I think, it was the one with the masks [season 3 episode 'Dead Man’s Party'] in my workplace. So that was my only regret."

In other Buffy news, star James Marsters has admitted he would have killed off Spike if he was in charge of the show, especially as the writers "never really knew what to do" with his character.
"If it had been me producing that show, I would have killed Spike off in a heartbeat," he told Radio Times. "As soon as the audience said, 'Oh, we want him. Oh, have him with Buffy. Oh, we love that character'. Like uh-uh. He's ruining the whole thing.
"I would have killed me off after probably three episodes. I'm kind of a bastard when I'm producing! I'm heartless! So I'm very lucky that they had more imagination and courage than I would have shown, frankly."
