Lost Girl premieres in the UK on thursday on Syfy Lost Girl has already been renewed for a second season. How did you feel when it was picked up?
"Oh, so happy! Because even though the show was doing well, you never really know until you get that phone call that it's coming back. The cast was really thrilled, and we got 22 episodes for season two. We've just filmed our first nine - we're on a week's break right now, and then we go back to film episode ten on Monday."
How do you think having a longer run of 22 episodes for season two will affect the show?
"I think it's great, because we just have more time to tell this story and see more into the lives of these people. We play with it a little bit more, and the writers are coming up with amazing storylines. This year we're shooting in order, which we didn't do [on the] first season. What that means is, for us as the actors, we get to unfold this story in the same way that the audience will see it. That's really exciting for us, because we just take it as it comes."
Fans responded well to the relationships between Bo and Lauren (Zoie Palmer), and Bo and Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried). Will those be explored more in season two?
"Absolutely, yeah. Season two picks up not too long after season one ends - I think there's a few weeks [gap]. There was a real cliffhanger with the Bo / Dyson relationship, and that is certainly something that's addressed at the beginning of the season. And there's some twists and turns - Bo has a lot to deal with this season, with both Dyson and Lauren!"
Your character Bo is also bisexual - has the show had a good reaction from the bisexual community?
"Absolutely, yeah. There's some really big Lauren fans out there. I would say they're probably the group that is speaking the most about that relationship on the internet, which I love. Bo's sexuality is not really discussed on the show - she's a sexual creature and she falls in love with both Dyson and Lauren. It's not highlighted as her being bisexual, which I like. I like that that's just how it is, and it's accepted. The Lauren / Bo relationship is such a real relationship, and I think that's what resonated with people."
Do you feel like Lost Girl continues to evolve, as you move into season two?
"Definitely. At the start of this series, Bo knew nothing about this world. In the first season, she had a lot of questions, and now she's the one with more of the answers. She's figuring stuff out. Something does still shock her every week, but she's smarter and stronger in season two, and learns to navigate the politics on the show. So it's definitely evolving and changing. I don't even know what's in store for the end of the season yet, I only know what comes to me every week in the scripts, so it's exciting for me to see how it's changing as well."
