This Fan Can’t Help It

Joanna Mills is a tough young Midwesterner determined to learn the truth behind the increasingly terrifying supernatural visions that have been haunting her.

She has made a successful career for herself, but her private life has been difficult. Estranged from her father, stalked by an obsessed ex, and with few friends in her life, she fears that she is losing control.

But when she sees and feels the brutal murder of a young woman she's never met, at the hands of a heartless killer – a man who appears to be making her his next target – she decides to do something about it.

Determined to fight back, she lets these visions guide her to the murdered woman's hometown, where she discovers that some secrets can't be buried, that some spirits never die, and that the murder she is trying to solve may be her own.

Why am I telling you any of this?

Because this is the plot of The Return, which opens Nov. 10, and because Joanna Mills is played by one Sarah Michelle Gellar.

And what kind of fan would I be if I didn’t tell you about my dear ol’ Buffy’s new projects?

Not a very good one – and I can’t have that.
