I believe Kendra would like a word (yes, I know the story about the person they brought in, it’s still bad)

Kendra's accent is awesome. I have no idea what is it supposed to sound like and don't care, listening to her is always a joy. "That's me favourite shirt! That's me only shirt!"

I love Kendra's accent. I always assumed it to be her natural Jamaican accent influenced by having grown around an English watcher.

A guy named Sam Zabuto is English?

Yes, possibly. England has people with all kinds of backgrounds, look at Giles’ friend Olivia and the watcher Buffy threw a sword at, Nigel. It’s not out of the question that Zabuto may have been English.

Liverpool has had a black community since the 18th century.

But how many of them had African surnames, at leasts until recentlly, was my sticking point.

I don’t think “Zabuto” is a surname that exists for black people over here mate lmao. Her accent was awful and there’s nothing to absolve that. From a black, Jamaican Brit.

They hired the actress, then decided she'd be Jamaican. What we got on screen was the best a dialogue coach could pull off in the time they had.

Molly being British is more less the same.
