Yeah I remember all of that. From what I was able to gather from the contradictory interviews out there...and some of the inside stuff, there were things going down in the negotiations that we don't know about. I know for example that Gellar had a stipulation in all her contracts that she did not do nude scenes (although I doubt that was it). But from what I've read about Fox - I think she may have had a good reason.
Boreanze? According to the people who did Smile Time ( I saw the email they sent a friend of mine who is closely associated with them) - Boreanze liked to pull practical jokes on the set. Shutting down production for hours. (If you listen closely to Adam Baldwin's commentary, you hear him state he found the lack of professionalism on the set to be irritating. And that was certainly in evidence - when you see the gaff's.) I think during Smile Time production - he literally pulled a fire alarm or something like that. Gossip? Possibly. I know he didn't like doing Angel. It was stifling, according to interviews, because he had no input on the character, no ability to improve, and it was basically acting like a robot. Vincent Karthaiser more or less said the same thing.
There's lots of gossip though about Charisma, David, Gellar, Hannigan, Dusku, and Brendan floating around. The others not so much. Marsters managed to get along with most everyone, as did Caulfield, Benze, and the other more supporting players. (If you think DB had a bad rep, CC had even worse one according to some of my friends. But I don't know what really happened. My guess is this is no different than any other workplace - you have people you dislike and who dislike you. The only difference? Is if we don't like the guy who shares our cubicle wall - all we have to do is deal with them at the printer and over hear their conversations. If they don't like the guy or gal they work with - they have to kiss them, act madly in love with them, get naked with them, pretend to fight or make out with them, and then go on press junkets and pretend to everyone in the world that this guy they can't stand is their best buddy! (Can you imagine doing that? Pretending that you adore someone who you can't stand? And worrying that if you screw up and let it drop that you don't like them - you'll never work again? Ugh.)
Sigh. I've inherited my mother's bad habit, gossip about tv and movie stars behaving badly behind the camera on tv shows intrigues me for some reason. LOL!
