One week until new "Buffy"
Only one week until Buffy returns to Sunnydale, and more information about the two-hour premiere is coming to light.
According to E Online!'s TV gossip column Watch With Wanda, "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" will open the new season with the deceased Buffy's best witchy friend Willow (Alyson Hannigan) taking charge of the Scoobies.
When the episode "Bargaining" begins, fans will find Willow "conjuring up spells right and left, speaking through telepathy and looking after Dawn".
In Dawn news, the character will no longer be a non-human, mystical "key". This season, Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg) is a real teenage girl who isn't the missing link to some mysterious dimension.
As far as Buffy herself is concerned, the blond slayer (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar) comes back to life through one of Willow's spells, as AllPop previously reported.
"She's not quite the Buffy who once was," warns Wanda.
As far as the romance between Buffy and her former vampire nemesis Spike, E Online's Wanda hints that the characters won't become a steady couple but will have a few more romantic scenes in upcoming episodes.
