Thanks to Rose for the heads up.
Tuesdays on ABC Family are getting more and more Twisted
Now midway through its freshman season, Twisted stars Nickelodeon alum Avan Jogia as Danny Desai, an outcast returning to school after spending years in juvie for killing his aunt. But this is no "fish out of water" story. On the heels of Danny's return to school in the premiere, popular Queen Bee Regina (Karynn Moore) turns up dead. Is Danny involved in this death too? And what was his reasoning for killing his aunt while on a play date with best friends Jo (Maddie Hasson) and Lacey (Kylie Bunbury) all those years ago? We checked in with Jogia to get some insight into his enigmatic and, well, twisted character.
You went from Nickelodeon's musical sitcom Victorious to this dark drama. What was that transition like?
Avan Jogia: The toughest thing was settling back down after four years of a medium I wasn't well versed in. I had to learn a lot on Victorious because I had never done multi-camera before. It's like music: You need to be on it, and there's no room for subtleties. With Twisted [it's all] looks and feelings.
On Pretty Little Liars, we know that the four girls are (relatively) innocent. In Twisted, we don't know if Danny is a good guy or bad guy and if he was justified in killing his aunt. Will we ever know?
Jogia: We're going to see the guessing game go on a little further because it's not a light crime. He killed somebody! So the audience really needs to get all the information, as [do] Jo and Lacey, before that decision is made. We'll probably head in that direction in the second cycle.
In last week's episode, the tensions between Danny, Lacey, Jo and her best friend Rico came to a head. How will this change everything?
Jogia: Jo realized her feelings for Danny, while Danny and Lacey acted on their feelings. We already have this huge wedge between Jo and Lacey because of the trauma of what Danny did, and now we have possibly a secondary wedge driving the relationship even further apart. So, I think Danny feels very responsible. Going forward, you're going to see those relationships fester. [On Tuesday's episode], Danny takes it upon himself to try to bring everyone together when then they go to Connecticut to try to chase down the money note Jo found.
