Jane Slayre, In the News

Movie blog Cinematical asks "Can Jane Eyre Slay Buffy?"

Amusing speculation, but Jane Slayre and Buffy fans all know that the two would pair up and fight on the same side, never against one another. There's room for both! But I'm honored that Jane is getting so much attention.

Charlotte: Who is Buffy?

Sherri: She started as a movie character, a teenage girl who finds out that her destiny is to fight demons. Much like someone else we know. And then there was the TV show, which is one of my favorites, no surprise.

Charlotte: Does Buffy date Bradley Cooper?

Sherri: No. Buffy has a complicated romantic history. In the Joss Whedon series, she was in love with a vampire named Angel. Actually, Angel and Mr. Rochester would be a more interesting match-up than Buffy and Jane Slayre. They share some similarities. Actually, Jane Slayre has her own sort of Scooby gang.

Charlotte: You've lost me.

Sherri: She meets her Willow early on in Helen Burns. She has her Angel in Mr. Rochester. There are really a few Giles types. Miss Temple. St. John Rivers.

Charlotte: As portrayed by Bradley Cooper? (raises brow).

Sherri: Possibly. It's a little too early to speculate. Who knows? Maybe Leo or Brad would want the role. But back to Jane's own Scooby Gang of sorts. You know, I don't think she has a Xander.

Charlotte: A Xander? She does have fine Egyptian daggers and then the crossbow and stake-o-matic. What does a Xander do?

Sherri: Xander's not a weapon. He's a wisecracking friend. But maybe she doesn't need a Xander because she has no shortage of snarky thoughts on her own, and plenty of friends. Like Diana and Mary. Mrs. Fairfax. Adele. Sophie. Georgianna! I think Georgianna might be sort of a Xander. Or maybe she's more of a Spike. She's really more of a Big Bad...

Charlotte: Now you've really lost me.

Sherri: Ah, but there is a Cordelia. Blanche Ingram!

Charlotte: Ugh. Do not speak to me of that horrible woman. Tell me Cordelia meets a nasty fate, if she's anything like Blanche.

Sherri: Actually, she goes on to lead a life of adventure in the spin-off series Angel.

Charlotte: (rolls eyes). It figures.
