Hell hath no fury like a pair of dueling vampire slayers. When wild child Faith (Eliza Dushku) was introduced this season on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she helped Buffy fight demons. But since joining forces with the town`s evil mayor, Faith finds herself on the opposite side of the stake from her former partner. "The fighting is the coolest part," says Dushku. "Last week I left the set with all these bruises, but I have to say I had fun getting them."
The 18-year-old Boston native is clearly getting a big kick out of her first TV series.But after a two-part season finale (May 18 and 25) that she promises "will throw everyone for a loop," she hints we might be seeing less of her spirited slayer next season.
For Dushku`s next part, she would like to play a good girl or a funny girl- if only so that her family will watch. "I was raised Mormon, and half of my family is humiliated by this role," she says. "My Grandmother wouldn`t return my call for a week, because she saw an episode where I had a sex scene,and she flipped out."
