What was your reaction when you read that Leah may be a love interest for Arizona?
I was really excited for a number of reasons because Leah loves to fall in love, so I knew it would be juicy because that's who her character has been established as: She's an easy faller. And I love Jessica. The fans love "Calzona" so much that I was excited to stir it up. (Laughs.)
Have you seen the backlash yet? How do you feel about coming between this couple? Obviously, Lauren (Hilarie Burton) was the one who really prompted Callie's and Arizona's split.
I'm not on Twitter but I've heard there's plenty of the backlash -- and things have only been insinuated! At this point, I feel like Leah hasn't crossed the line, she's just flirting at the bar with the woman who just got kicked out of her apartment. We'll have to see where it all goes, but I don't think Leah feels too bad -- and Tessa doesn't feel too bad! Interestingly enough, Hilarie Burton didn't get too much flack -- the fans liked her character, they just didn't like that she was splitting up Callie and Arizona. I don't think Leah is at fault here; they're not together, so flirt away, I say!
We know Leah hooked up with Alex (Justin Chambers) in the past. Does she consider herself gay or bisexual?
I don't think she labels herself. Arizona is her first female partner. Leah likes attention and she'll take it where she can get it. She's really smitten with Arizona because Arizona is paying attention back to her.
Does Leah want the romantic relationship with Arizona or is it just about someone -- anyone -- paying attention to her?
I think Leah is open to anything that comes her way, so yes, she's open to a romantic relationship but we'll have to see if Arizona is with Leah.
