Yesterday we brought you the news that “Fringe” has been given the green-light for a full second season. And while many fans are excited that the news means we’ll get to see more of guest-star Leonard Nimoy in the pivotal role as William Bell, actress Jaskia Nicole says she’s excited because the renewal will allow the series to explore more about her character, Astrid.
“She’s not supposed to be ancillary to the show. She’s supposed to be important, and I think that they are trying to milk everybody’s stories out as long as they possibly can,” she told SciFi Wire. “They’ve been working on that for a really long time, and they want to make sure that it’s perfect.”
“I’m sure she has so many great stories to tell that aren’t ever even aired in the actual episodes,” added Nicole.
In fact, the team has already shot an episode for the upcoming second season of “Fringe.”
Before season two can begin, Nicole said there are still some answers left in season one–and some new doors to open.
“There are actually a couple of really big answers in the season finale which shed light on, like, one million other questions. The answers that you get are super-satisfying, but they just make you want to know even more,” Nicole said when asked about the upcoming season finale. “You get to get some really good information about Peter [Joshua Jackson] and what’s his deal, because there are all these allusions during the entire season about Peter was sick as a boy, and there’s something special about him, but you don’t really know what it is. Well, you get to find out in the finale, and it’s pretty fantastic.”
Yay! I ::heart:: Astrid. So very exciting that we’ll get even more of her next year. 🙂
And finally some answers about Peter? Even better.
