Charisma Carpenter Reacts to Fan Theory on Cordelia in Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Charisma Carpenter, known for playing the popular yet sharp-tongued Cordelia Chase in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," has expressed her doubts about a fan theory suggesting her character was a better friend to Buffy Summers than the Scooby Gang. In the initial seasons (1-3) of this supernatural 90's teen drama, Cordelia and Buffy shared a "frenemies" dynamic. Even as Cordelia joined Buffy’s team combating supernatural forces, led by Buffy’s mentor Rupert Giles, she often continued to hurl snide remarks at Buffy and her friends, Xander Harris and Willow Rosenberg, who collectively were called the Scooby Gang. This is prepared by SSP.

Recently, Charisma responded on TikTok to a fan expressing that Cordelia was a truer friend to Buffy than the Scoobies. Carpenter, surprised by this claim, stated, "Oh, this is such an unpopular take. This is gonna cause some controversy. You really think Cordy was a better friend?" She emphasized her curiosity by playfully demanding a thorough explanation from fans in the comments.

Despite the historical tension, fans increasingly ponder Cordelia’s sincerity, citing examples where she was honest and upfront with Buffy, unlike the Scooby Gang. Some viewers argue that Cordelia valued Buffy for who she was, irrespective of her Slayer identity. The two shared ephemeral moments of camaraderie, with each secretly envying the other's lifestyle; Cordelia craves Buffy’s purpose, while Buffy desires Cordelia's carefree nature.

Buffy ran from 1997 to 2003, with Cordelia also shining in the spin-off "Angel" from 1999 to 2004. Both series depicted the complex yet evolving relationship between the characters with episodes like "Out of Mind, Out of Sight" and "Homecoming" highlighting this unique dynamic.
