Emily Deschanel, known for her role in the hit TV series Bones alongside David Boreanaz, recently revealed that she has never watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Despite Boreanaz’s iconic role as Angel on Buffy, Deschanel admitted that she never gravitated towards the genre of the show. This lack of familiarity with Buffy actually worked in her favor when auditioning for Bones, as it allowed her to approach the role without being starstruck or intimidated by her co-star.
Deschanel shared that Boreanaz, who had more experience in TV series than she did at the time, was not someone she was fawning over during the audition process. This lack of fanfare helped her land the role and eventually hold her own alongside Boreanaz on the show. While Deschanel acknowledged that she should watch Buffy at some point, she hasn’t gotten around to it yet.
In Bones, Deschanel portrayed anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan, while Boreanaz played FBI special agent Seeley Booth. The chemistry between their characters on screen was evident, and Deschanel mentioned that certain levels of that chemistry were instant. Despite occasionally driving each other crazy, Deschanel and Boreanaz developed a close friendship during their time on the show.
One of Deschanel’s favorite memories with Boreanaz involved his protective nature towards her during her pregnancies. She recalled a moment when she almost fell down a flight of stairs while pregnant, and Boreanaz’s immediate reaction to protect her. Their off-screen bond translated into a strong on-screen partnership between their characters.
Carla Gallo, Deschanel’s co-star on Bones and now her podcast co-host on “Boneheads,” also shared some memorable experiences with her TV love interest, John Francis Daley. Gallo recalled meeting Daley years before they worked together on Bones, and how their dynamic shifted when they reunited on the show. Despite never being romantically involved outside of the series, Gallo expressed excitement about having Daley as a guest on their podcast.
