Willow Rosenberg Do anda think if the original Willow, Riff Regan, had stayed on the tunjuk instead of being replaced sejak Alyson anda would still like the character as much?

No, the way Alyson plays her makes up a huge part of her character

Yes. She's a well written character, so I'd have liked her whoever played her

I once read an article where it was implied that Riff was replaced because she wasn't pretty enough, but I don't believe that for a second.
Yes, Alyson is prettier but I've seen the unaired pilot with Riff and she simply wasn't as good. Much of the sweetness and lightness Alyson put into the character wasn't there, and to be honest, if Riff had stayed I don't think I would have liked Willow very much.

The original pilot was terrible. Everyone's acting was bad. The special effects were bad. Joss is embarrassed by it. I don't think the pilot is a good representation of the show in general.

It's possible that Riff Regan could have done an awesome job as Willow in the main series, but Alyson Hannigan does such an awesome job that it's hard to compete. I haven't seen Riff Regan in anything else, so I don't really know how she would compare.

Tarna96 picked No, the way Alyson plays her makes up a huge part of her character:
Let's put it this way- Alyson Hannigan was born to play Willow. No Aly, no chemistry between Willow and Tara, no complications with Oz, no confidence booster, no season 6 Big Bad, no relationship with Kennedy (which, on its own, wouldn't be great) and, in turn, no final episode white hair goddess-thingy, and no "every girl is a slayer" spiel.
So, in short, Buffy depended on Willow- and having Alyson Hannigan cast as Willow is possibly the best thing Joss Whedon has ever done.

honestly speaking i don't even know who the hell is Riff Regan until i read one of the articles about the unaired pilot... plus Alyson Hannigan gave life to the character of Willow, well i know the written character of Willow is neat and sweet but Aly gave us the Willow we adored and love... :D

We didn't really get a chance to see Riff play Willow apart from one episode. I'm sure I would have liked her just as much.

I started to watch Buffy because of Alyson years ago. I can´t (and don´t want) imagine anyone else playing her.

It'd depend how well Riff Regan played her and whether she could make her as adorable.
