Eliza Dushku was here live. See what TV's Faith had to say about mooning for Angel, raping the Buffy boys and getting a good look at Leo's scab. Plus, a spoiler or two and details from the cast wrap party.

Tune in every Monday at 6 p.m. ET to scoop up the TV dish--and maybe get your questions answered!

Hey, Faith fans! Eliza's here. Ready...

From faithyeah: Do you like the change in your character, or do you prefer her kicking butt with Buffy?
I definitely like the change. It's obviously fun to play the villain. She's like the bad-girl junkie. Everyone's got a bad side in them somewhere, and it's fun to play the bad-girl nemesis.

From Carl: Eliza, did you have a season wrap party for Buffy? Was everyone sad to say goodbye to Charisma and David as they go to the new show Angel?
The wrap party was last night, down by the beach. It was so much fun, but also teary at the same time. I mean, I've only been on one season, but it was like saying goodbye to your brothers and sisters. David wasn't there, but the rest of us were dancing and grooving all night. It was such a good time. From style511: Eliza, I think you're a great actress. Will we be seeing you in anything else besides Buffy? Perhaps a movie?
Thank you. I'm looking right now. I've got a meeting for a comedy, actually, in an hour and a half. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to college or going to make movies.

From Buffy'sgirl: Do you do all your own stunts?
I wish I could say I did, but I don't. I've gotten a lot better since the beginning of the season. I used to have a stunt double do everything, and then I would just pop in there, but now I come home with bruises and cuts and sore muscles. Ideally, they want us to do the most we can. I love learning the stuff. These days it's more us.

From faitheslayer: Are you happy the season is finally ending?
I'm not happy that it's ending. It's a period of my life that I've had so much fun with. I'm 18 years old and still totally undecided as to what I want to do. I'm so jealous of my friends who are in Boston and going to school. I'm happy that it's over, because everybody needs a break at some point. But I'm sad, too.

From buffybear: How do you and Sarah Michelle Gellar mesh offstage? You two are like oil and vinegar onstage. Are you friends?
Yeah, we get along pretty well. We both have a tough streak in us. You know, she's from New York. We pal around and joke. We can hold our own with each other. We're just two girls running their mouths. We actually partied one night in New York, at our agent's wedding. From buffychic: Can you tell us what's up with your character in the next few episodes?
They don't even tell me when which shows are airing. I know that in the coming episodes I'm not going to make a turn around. I can't say much, but there's going to be a lot more crazy Faith coming up.

From northernlad: Okay, question I HAVE to ask: What's Nick like to kiss?
It was bizarre, because he's in his late 20s and I was 17 at the time. He's, like, 10 years older. I felt like I was going after one of my older brother's friends. It was mainly just a riot, with everyone yelling, "Seventeen will get you 20." It was more comical than anything else.

From jmonique: What's been the most interesting part of working on Buffy?
One of the most interesting things for me is that I gained a total respect for science fiction. I honestly never watched the show before I was on it. And once you're on, you gain such a respect for the vampires and how they make it so real.

From willowworshipper: Eliza, do you know what "hope" meant in the title "Faith, Hope and Trick"? "Trick" was Mr. Trick, "Faith" was the new slayer--but what was "Hope" supposed to be?
I have no idea either. I never asked. I was new on the set, and I didn't ask many questions.

From swoop300: Eliza, the BIG question: Is your tattoo real?
I'd like to say that it is, but it's not. I want to get a tribute tattoo on my hip for a family member who passed away. But I want to wait until I'm 21, because that's what I feel is best for me.

From au_h2o: In real life, would you prefer an Oz, a Xander, an Angel or a Giles?
All of them, all at once. Actually, I'm not sure. It depends on my mood. I'm super into tall, dark, handsome.

From catgrl9: How did you get picked for the role of Faith?
I had previous acting experience in films. I did six movies when I was 10 to 15. A month after I graduated I put two scenes on tape, and three days later they gave me the part.

From faitheslayer: Any chance you'll be on Angel?
Possibly. It hasn't really been discussed, since the Angel show is still in the works. Joss Whedon is just the most creative writer I've ever seen. If he wants to write me in something, I'd do it.

From buffy_summers_: Which role was the most fun you've ever had?
It's a toss-up between Buffy and True Lies. I'm an adrenaline junkie--I love taking risks. It's kind of a tie between those.

From dialup: What's your favorite Faith moment?
My favorite Faith moment was in "Enemies," when she got jacked by Angel. She was riding high, and then she got dogged. She's so cocky. I love her 'cause I play her, but she's so cocky. She got played. She got beat in her own game.

From skats: Do you date? What do you look for in a man?
I'm in between dating right now. I had a boyfriend back in Boston, but this show is tough. How do you date when you get out of work at 3 a.m.? I'm kind of flying solo right now.

From cordeliachase: Who do you hang with the most on the set?
Um, the transportation guys. I'm kind of a roamer. I'm usually just out and about. David's cool. We share a trailer, and he's supersocial and friendly.

From genxhostal: I'm sorry, but I have to ask: Who's the better kisser, Nicholas Brendon or David Boreanaz?
Well, it's a toss-up. When I had to kiss David, he had these vampire teeth. With both of them being 10 times older than me, and me having to rape Nick and David with those teeth...I'd have to say it's a toss-up.

From tfanman: How long does it take to tape one show?
Eight days. Sometimes more if we don't finish up, but never weekends. We always have weekends off.

From prophecygirl: Do you believe in vampires now?
No, not really. I don't really believe in anything I don't see. I have to see it to believe it.

From dialup: Has the Buffy fame affected you at all?
I'd like to say that fame hasn't really affected me. I've always seen myself as no better or worse than anybody else. A lot of people on the crew even say it hasn't affected me. I have as much respect for the camera guys as I do for the actors. Also, my three brothers have kept me in check.

From panda10650: Eliza, how did you get into acting?
I've got an older brother who's great. When I was 10, I went into an open call with him and got a part. It just went from there. After I played De Niro's daughter, the roles really opened up.

From sportyspice30: If you go to college, what will be your major?
I have no idea. I love to travel. My mother is a government professor who teaches world and government politics, so we've also traveled. I'd love any kind of field that would allow me to travel to one country one day and another the next.

From jewyl: Besides acting, what other activities do you enjoy?
I really enjoy traveling. When you travel, you can do whatever you want. At this point, we'll hop on a plane and land somewhere. Last year it was China. We didn't have much money, but we just went and explored. I'm not a reader. I'm a big socializer. I just can't sit still.

From yokelcletus: Do you surf the Net much? Have you visited the fansites about the show or about yourself?
I just moved out to California last July and got my own apartment. The computer was far down on my list. But I just got one. I'm into emailing my family and friends, but that's about it.

From vaedus: What type of music are you into?
I'm into just about everything...Beastie Boys, Lenny Kravitz, Lauryn Hill, Madonna, Korn. I love it all.

From pkard: Do you have something in common with Faith?
A lot, but not a lot. One of the differences is, I have morals. I would never hurt somebody. In common, we both have that adrenaline feeling and that attitude thing. Wising off to cops, teachers, just doing your own thing. It's a tough attitude/East Coast thing.

From Wanda: What's up with calling Buffy "B"?
It was a writer's request. I had no choice. I think it's trying to undermine her a little. It's Faith's own little edgy way of sticking it to her.

From ladyangelus: Is David Boreanaz fun to work with?
David's a blast to work with. He's so funny--a real riot. He makes everything very carefree when he's around.

From minaelizabetha: Did Faith and Angel have sex?
No. I doubt they did. It was a trick, so I don't think he would've taken it that far. His heart belongs to Buffy.

From loco: Tell us about the gag reel at the wrap party.
At random times, someone messes up a scene. There were a lot of beating people up in a joking way. David was running at the camera or cracking up. He would breathe heavy a little too much. In the "Bad Girls" episode, my foot got stuck when we were smashing the glass, and Sarah tried to help me. It was a total screwup caught on camera.

From prophecygirl: Eliza, any hints on who Xander ends up with at the end of the season?
Hmmm...I'm not sure. Lately I haven't been following the rest of the show. Things are a mystery to even the cast. When they were trying to get the season finale done, a lot of things were still up in the air. I'm not even sure what the final decision was.

From crs123: It seems like such a funny cast--do you play practical jokes?
Um, not really, but it's such a light feeling on the set. No one is insecure, so anyone can harp on anyone. There's just a lot of fun and taunting going around--all in good humor.

From jaded32: Eliza, I think you're great. My fave movie of yours is That Night! How old were you when you did your first movie?
That Night was my first movie. I was 10 years old. I got that part from a crazy open call in Boston. I was a tomboy up until that point. That movie kind of made me a girl.

From charizma: How was it working with the hot one known as LEO?
I was worked with him on This Boy's Life, his first movie. He was kind of a punk--mouthing off to the crew. He used to ride around on his bike. They kept telling him not to ride because they didn't want to be liable, but he would just give them the finger. So, of course, one day he falls down. They had to halt filming for a week, and he had this big scrape across his face. When we resumed shooting, I walked into the makeup room and there's this scab in a Ziploc bag taped to the mirror with a sign that said "Quarter of a Million Dollar Scab."

From lynsey76: How did you get along with Leo? Do you keep in touch with him, or talk to him anymore?
Last time I talked to him, he called me when he was hanging out with some friends in Boston. I said, "What are you doing with yourself?" And he's like, "I'm playing a retard." It was when he was doing What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Then we just lost touch.

From angel25656: What's your favorite show to watch?
I'm kind of nocturnal. I love Conan. He's the bomb. I love Howard Stern when he's being good. I'm dying to get on that show. I also watch Ally McBeal. I've always loved The Simpsons. They are such a funky family.

From buffychic: Was it fun to work with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies?
Arnold was such a goofball. He was so much fun. When we were shooting the Harrier scene, we were basically strapped together for four days. He was all about playing thumb war and sticking things up my nose. He was very fatherly. He offered to helicopter me to one of his Planet Hollywood openings. Jamie Lee and Tom Arnold were great, too. I was 12 then, and I think they were trying to compensate for my being the only kid on the set.

From ds2587sp: I love you as Faith, but I think the question in everyone's minds is, How you are going to kick the bucket in the season finale?
My lips are sealed. I can't tell. Just wait, you'll be excited. I don't want to spoil it.

From faitheslayer: Do you ever get hurt working with those stakes?
No, actually. A lot of the stakes the actors use are rubber. They look so real. The actual staking of the vampire is CGI--special effects.

From faithful_avenger: Could you ever go for a short blond guy instead of tall, dark and handsome?
Possibly.

From sunny: Will Cordy really be turned into a vamp?
I don't know. You got me.

From womanwarrior: Was being a swell dancer a casting requirement?
No, it wasn't a requirement. I just love to dance--those scenes were so much fun.

From ariellemarsters: Have you met James Marsters? What's he like? Isn't he hot?!
Yeah, I met him. He may be an awful villain, but he's a sweetheart. He's just a nice guy. He's not really English, which threw me off.

From malkavian: Did anything embarrassing happen while you were around the set?
I know Alyson and Sarah pantsed Nick one time. David's been known to moon people. Actually, so is Nick, and I have, too. There's a lot of mooning on the set, in general.

From au_h2o: What would be the ideal role for you?
I'm looking at some lighter comedy, maybe. I'm a little over being so dark all the time. I want to do something that my grandparents and little sweet cousins can watch. I was raised Mormon, so my grandmother didn't return my call for a month after the "Enemies" episode aired.

From waxytadpole: What's your favorite vacation spot?
I'm dying to go to the Caribbean or on some cruise. So far, my favorite place is Australia--Bondi Beach in New South Wales, Sydney. I did a film there called Race the Sun.

From pkard: Since you've been on the big screen more than once, what do you prefer: TV or film?
They're different. Sometimes you prefer each. With television, you get a max of two to five takes to get a scene down. And when working with someone like James Cameron, he can take a month to get a scene. It's good to work both ways, but also not. I'd like to get back into film for a while.

From jcbuffyfan: How do you like Faith's revealing wardrobe?
In real life, I've been known to throw on some tight black leather--but not on a daily basis. It's tacky and fun. It's better than wearing frills and flowers. It's exciting and dangerous.

From prophecygirl: In your opinion, who's the better slayer?
Buffy's better. Come on, the show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Faith's less about slaying these days and more about tearing it up in other ways. We have different motives.

From xnderbuffy: What are your plans during the summer hiatus?
I'm living with my brother, and we're having such a good time. If there's a good script, I'd love to jump at it. Otherwise, I might go back to the East Coast for a while.

From kattie: Are you a girlie girl? You know, into clothes and hair?
Kind of, yeah. I love to pull it all together and do it up some nights. I'm just about normal.

From kiefer1: I would like to get into acting. What do you suggest?
Keep it up. If you really want to do it, try to a point. It's really a business about luck. My brother's taken four years of acting and hasn't worked, and I've never had a class in my life. It's so unreliable, so don't let it eat up your life. Don't pursue it to the point that you have nothing else left.

From big_cordy_fan: Do you have any pets?
I have a German shepherd/husky/beagle mix named Korbit, but he lives in Utah. They won't allow dogs in my apartment here. I'm trying to get a place here so I can bring him out. I have five little fish that are easy to take care of, and they don't bug me.

From faithgirl: Eliza, can you say if there's any chance Faith will be good again?
Not sure, you'd have to ask the writers what their plans are. Who knows?

From umr: What do you think of the teen movie craze?
I think it's cool that teens are getting to lead films, but it depends if they're good or not. I don't get to see many movies, because I work so much! Now that we're on hiatus, I can actually get out there and see more flicks.

From ilovebuffy: How did you feel when you saw the script and it said that Faith and Xander have sex?
I laughed. I thought it was hysterical. Me and Nikki hadn't worked together much, but I knew he was a funny guy. I didn't actually anticipate that all the fans would come down on me so much in the mail. They were all mad at me for taking his virginity and that he didn't do it with Willow for the first time.

From gcl: Who is your favorite actor?
De Niro. I just saw Analyze This, and I couldn't keep my eyes off him. He's great. I loved Shakespeare in Love, too, and thought the whole cast in that was amazing.

From waxytadpole: If you were a box of chocolates, what kind would you be?
Cherry cordials, because I always love how unexpected it is to bite down and get the juice inside.

From qslexy: I heard you went to the PBP (Posting Board Party). What did you think of it?
I thought it was great. Joss and I were tearing up the dance floor. To this day there are photos of Joss and me on the Internet. How can you complain about a night of adoration like that for the show?

From kegman: What of the rumors about Sarah not liking Ally?
That's all bull. They work together and get along great. They're like sisters. I mean, they occasionally bicker, but they get along great.

From carnalstar: If you decide to go to college, would you come back to one of the East Coast schools?
I think so. I have an easier time relating to people on the East Coast. I get a little tired of the whole "everyone is in the movies" thing out here.

From lehcar51: What was it like in high school, when you already had six movie credits under your belt?
It was tough at times. Students would rag on me and so would teachers. I ended up going to a private school my last year of middle school, and it was frustrating because I let it get to me. Leo would give me lines and comebacks to use. He would tell me not to let people get me down. When I went back for high school, I loved it. I wouldn't let people do that to me. It was so much fun because of that.

From paxman214: Who's the most serious person on the Buffy set?
Probably Gareth Davies, one of our producers. He's usually the drill sergeant, and he'll come down and tell people to get their ass in gear.

From jewyl: Do you ever regret your decision to become an actress? Is there something you would have rather pursued?
Sometimes I regret not being able to grow up normal. I missed a lot of school, so I was tutored. It makes you grow up really fast. You're forced to be an adult. You're too young to be an adult, yet too old to be a kid. I can't say I regret any decisions I've made, but it's been a ride.

Thanks so much for coming. I totally appreciate it. I hope you enjoy the rest of the season.
