Zap2it: I'm so happy Raven joined up with the teens on Earth, because she's such a cool character. She's tough, she's smart, she's independent, but she still has a heart. What's it like playing such a dynamic character?
Lindsey Morgan: I love playing Raven because I feel like Raven is a better person than I am. It's cool to play someone that I would aspire to be. She's a good inspiration.
Let's talk about her relationship with Finn. We've heard how they've spent their whole lives together and there's clearly a lot of history there. Will we get to see that play out in flashbacks?
No, unfortunately there aren't any flashbacks to see it. But if we have the chance to go to a second season the writers all thought that it would be interesting to do each character in flashbacks to show how they grew up. But there's no flashbacks to show Raven and Finn yet, but they've been together pretty much their whole lives. They were best friends and Raven's family wasn't really in the picture. And the only person that ever really took care of her was the boy next door, Finn. As children he would share his meal rations with me, to being there all throughout school, he was pretty much the only stable thing in my life. Everyone else in my life would come and go and I couldn't depend on them. Finn was the only real rock. He's my first love and my only love and my best friend. And kind of my only friend.
I think that's what makes it so heartbreaking, how Raven risked everything to come to Earth to be with him at the most awkward timing ever since he just hooked up with Clarke.
Exactly. Oh yeah. It puts Finn in a very peculiar position and it makes him really have to ask himself some really tough questions. I think it's possible to love someone but not always be in love with someone and I also think it's very possible to love two people at the same time. Finn's heart is literally torn into two. I think him and Clarke really connected but he's known Raven his entire life. So there's this question of what's the grass like on the other side? Who's this new girl? He also thought he'd never see me again. As far as he was concerned, I was dead to him. I'm in space and he's on Earth. Finn did the best that he could with what he knows. We definitely get thrown into very difficult positions.
