Buffy The Vampire Slayer: 10 Characters You Totally Forgot Existed

7. Parker Abrams

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Owen
Mutant Enemy

Like Owen, Parker was a long-forgotten love interest. In this case, it's definitely for the best that Parker is forgotten in the depths of the deepest, darkest multiverse, in a world where Buffy never met Riley.

At the beginning of Season Four, he seemed like a nice guy. He and Buffy had a genuine spark. He was a sweet, sensitive guy and became Buffy's first sexual encounter since Angel.

Sadly, it didn't take long for Buffy to learn that Parker didn't have honest intentions. He only wanted a one-night stand and, soon after their night together, he moved onto another girl. He even recycled the same pitiful pickup lines on her. What. A. Scumbag?!

Parker is horrible. We don't like him because Buffy deserved better. Still, she ended up with Riley, which wasn't much better, really.

Parker was played by Adam Kaufman. He went on to star in shows like CSI: Miami, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and iZombie.
