Whedon holding a panel at the WizardWorld comics convention in
Chicago.  One of the things he mentioned(among his plans for
Astondishing X-Men, the Buffy cartoon and the movie Serenity) was a
story he had planned for Season 7, but was unable to do because Amber
Benson was unavailable.  For the article; link here;

text(in boldface);
> "When [Seth Green's werewolf character] Oz left rather suddenly I
was devastated. I had a whole year's arc planned," said Whedon.
"Though if that had not happened, I would not have met Amber Benson,"
referring to the actress who became Willow's lesbian love interest,
Tara, following Green's departure. 
> Whedon also explained that prior to contract negotiation problems,
he had intended to bring Benson's character back after having her
murdered at the end of the sixth season, but how he was to do it. 
> "About three or four episodes from the end of the last season, Buffy
was going to be granted one.reality altering wish. The episode would
revolve around her struggling with what she could do for herself with
that wish. She could bring Angel back to her..." 
> Whedon then briefly described the episode ending scene. "Buffy would
walk into a room and show Willow these shoes that she wanted. Willow
would then express disappointment and say 'You had one
reality-altering wish and you wished for shoes?' Buffy would then deny
that she had done that and leave. Willow would turn around and there
would be Tara."
> Now wouldn't that have been a nice episode?  Not only would we have
been spared the season of Kennedy, but it would have shown Buffy
willingly sacrificing her own happiness for her best friend. 
Ironically this reunion of Willow and Tara would have been the
ultimate Buffy/Willow moment as well!  Oh well...
