Kristine Sutherland (Joyce) said of Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn):
“She was such an extraordinary presence on the set. She’s so open and energetic and present that the relationship just happened. It was really nice - it was the kind of thing that you couldn’t really script. It had to happen or not - and it did. It was really exciting. At one point I talked to Joss and he was so pleased that it was all working.
“Everything just became energised by Michelle’s presence. It was so nice to bring in this whole new person, and the character and storyline. I think she just bonded with everybody. I certainly bonded with her straightaway - I enjoyed having two daughters, and it was so instant that once it was there, it was as if she had always been there.”

Makes it sound like Michelle T. was “perky”. I hate perky.
