Apparently Sarah Michelle Gellar filled the Sunday night void that “The White Lotus” left in his life with “The Last of Us.”.”
Or maybe it’s all Pedro Pascal’s praise lands his role as Joel on the HBO hit, but the “Wolf Pack” star decided to remind everyone that he appeared alongside her on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” by sharing a photo of the beloved show on Instagram as proof. .
A fresh-faced, clean-shaven and less grizzly Pascal played Eddie, a fleeting — but memorable — character in the season 4 premiere, titled “The Freshman.”
In the 1999 episode, Buffy (Gellar) feels isolated as she adjusts to college life at the fictional University of California, Sunnydale, until she bumps into Eddie one night while lost on campus. The two share what appears to be a cute date as they find out where they are and bond over topics like security blankets and a tough teacher.
from the end of their sweet interaction, the two find solace in their shared feeling of being overwhelmed by college life and plan to reunite. Buffy looks relieved to finally have a friend, and Eddie looks happy as he leaves.
But in true genre style that the show has become known for, Eddie runs into a group of vampires soon after and transforms.
When Buffy later discovers he’s become a bloodsucker, she’s forced to present him with her security blanket—Mr. Pointy, her stake—and Eddie gets dusted.
Although Buffy continues to date the show’s most obnoxious boyfriend, Riley, while at UC Sunnydale, Eddie seemed to make an impact on fans. Some reddits the nature AND notice board they argued that the character should have survived and become Buffy’s college boyfriend because of the actors’ chemistry.
