Amber is a real class act when it comes to acting, but I don't think 
it would have damaged the story line at all if they had "ghost tara" 
come back just for one episode and tell Willow that she should move 
on because that is what Tara would want. Either way the fans get 
screwed. I am a B/W, W/T, B/T, or even a B/W/T Fan cause the three 
did have great chemsitry together. You aren't the only one 
bitter...a lot of fans are still bitter, hell I am still very 
fucking bitter because Tara's death did not need to be the catalyst 
for Willow's dark side....as we seen in Hunter's story.
