Why isn't Sarah Michelle Gellar in any of the DVD extras for Buffy?

I've finally replaced my old video boxsets with DVDs and was watching the extras yesterday when I noticed that Sarah Michelle Gellar isn't in any of them! All the other actors talk about their characters, or are interviewed. She isn't!

Even in the behind the scenes footage for 'Once More With Feeling' she hardly features, and she doesn't appear in the footage of the wrap parties at all.

As the main character this seems really strange - did Joss Wheedon hate her or something? I did notice that for the commentaries for the early series he raves about her as an actress, but in interviews for Series 7 he just calls her 'competent'.

Seems like there's something going on there? Any one know what? It may well all be common knowledge but I don't tend to read celeb mags or anything so I wouldn't know...

Update:

Yggg. .

Really? That's weird as I'd always heard how professional she was!

    I didn't even notice that she wasn't on any of them. that is actually really weird. perhaps Sarah Michelle Gellar ws too busy with other jobs because she was in cruel intentions and at the beginning of season seven Sarah got married so she may have been trying to further her career. and as for Joss Whedon calling her 'competent' that could be put down to the fact that he ws working on the final season of Buffy, The third season of Angel and the first season of Firefly all at the same time. He was probably just stressed out. and Sarah not being at the cast party? perhaps she was on her honeymoon with her new husband!
