Overview
- The Emmy appearance, which took place Monday, saw Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz reunite on the blue carpet and later present the award for Best Miniseries, Anthology Series or Television Movie.
- On stage they traded a joking line that referenced the March cancellation of the planned New Sunnydale reboot and said viewers "won't find out" how Buffy and Angel might end up.
- Close posing and tender gestures on the blue carpet prompted a strong wave of nostalgia and emotion from longtime fans of the late-1990s series.
- They used their platform to remember recent losses among former cast members, including Michelle Trachtenberg, Nicholas Brendon, and Anthony Head, and to reflect on their characters' arcs.
- Buffy debuted in March 1997 and ran through 2003, and with no onscreen continuation announced after the cancelled reboot the reunion underlined the series' enduring cultural impact.
