Rebellion, singing and The Body
Mel Caals: Would you like to see Dawn turn bad for an episode?
Michelle:
Definitely. There was one episode in Season Five where she experimented with evil Dawn and good Dawn, and you'll see in the sixth season, that Dawn gets a little more rebellious. I think that kind of attitude is exciting for any actor to play. Especially when that is not normal for their character. So you never know.
Kat: Is it true that in Season Six we see dawn's wild-side. Does she get drunk?
Michelle:
Well, you guys know more than I do, I guess. All I can say is that this season will be a little bit more rebellious for Dawn. But as to what that includes, I really don't know myself yet.
Dawn: What can you tell us about the all musical episode? Do you get to sing?
Michelle:
We have all started dance rehearsals and singing lessons already. We each are doing a little bit of singing, and it should be very exciting. It's written and directed by Joss, so you guys must know how wonderful it's going to be!
SteveB: After seeing The Body for the first time I was crying, how hard was it to film?
Michelle:
It was very difficult to get into the mind-set of Dawn because losing a loved one is a very serious topic. I myself have a great relationship with my mom, and whereas I usually try to relate things that happen to Dawn to my life, I really had to view Dawn as a separate person for this one, and really feel how she would react. I'll leave it up to you guys to see how I did, and if you believed me.
Max Smith: Dawn's shown a lot of interest in witchcraft, are we likely to see her interacting with Willow/Tara a lot more in Season Six?
Michelle:
Well, the interest Dawn showed was through desperate times, and if there ever is a desire for Dawn to experiment again, I'll leave that up to the writers to create it.
