Clare Kramer, who played Glory throughout season five of Buffy, revealed that she was delighted to be giving Buffy hell once more.

Referring to her cameo in season premiere Lessons, Kramer told the Knox News website: "I think [Glory] has evolved a little bit. She's been through it a little bit. "We'll just to have to see what (circumstance) has done to her."

Although future plot lines are very much under wraps, our spies indicate that Clare will appear in more episodes throughout the season.

Despite Glory being a bad girl, Kramer defends her as being "a strong-willed woman," and explained how she approached the part.

"When I came into my audition for the part," she says, "I was thinking of Jack Nicholson in The Shining, and that is how I have always played her."
