[post_page_title]Joyce Summers [/post_page_title]
Buffy the Vampire Slayers brought us many great characters but it also brought us one of tv’s most memorable moms. Joyce Summers may have been shocked by her daughter’s ability to hunt and fight vampires (wouldn’t we all), but handles it like a true champ. She becomes Buffy’s lifeline and main source of support for not just her, but her friends as well. Joyce’s ability to cope with the dangers of her daughter’s gift was as miraculous as Buffy’s powers, considering she had to live with the possibility of losing her child on a daily basis. This tv mom’s death was one of the most difficult to see and sent viewers into mourning for the remainder of the show’s run.
