Sarah Michelle Gellar is reportedly being offered a lucrative deal to carry on slaying for an eighth season of Buffy.

Despite rumours that Sarah intends to quit the hit TV show, the Teen Television website claims that Buffy bosses will try to woo her back with a deal which would pay her $750,000 per episode for a limited number of appearances next season.

Following the huge box office success of Scooby Doo, the 25-year-old actress has been widely expected to hang up Mr Pointy and devote more time to her Hollywood film career when her seven-year contract runs out at the end of the present season of Buffy.
