Developing Joyce and her relationships
Andrew: Were you disappointed that the Joyce/Giles relationship wasn't allowed to develop, or did it work better as a one-off?
Kristine: Yes, I wish it had developed further. I don't think it would have ever worked for the storyline for them to be together but I would have liked to have seen more done with the complications of the situation.
I would have liked to have seen more exploration of the tensions and actually more of them coming together sometimes, given the fact that Giles was Buffy's father figure. I would have liked to have seen more of our connection explored.
Julia: Were there any frustrations in the way the character developed?
Kristine: I would have liked to have seen more of Joyce as a working woman. It was terrific that she was a single mom, and the relationship with Buffy was reflected as a single mom. I grew up with a single mother, so I really appreciated that relationship.
You just saw me at home most of the time, so I would have liked to have seen more of her out working.
