Those are bits and bobs from the original, un-aired pilot episode.

I think that SMG had gone up for the part of Cordelia, originally, but I don't remember for sure. Search around this part of the site, I think there are tidbits like that all over.

I remember hearing that what they liked about Hannigan was that she didn't over do the 'geek' part. Alot of other actresses were apparantly turning up in thick glasses, shirts buttoned up to the chin etc. But Hannigan just came in and read it pretty straight.

Yes I did know that. Although we'll never know how the original Willow might have worked out, Joss clearly saw something in AH that was missing from the other actress. I've seen that unaired pilot and she didn't stand out at all, but by then I'd seen AH in the part.

I knew the part about Alyson Hannigan not first being chosen to play Willow
