TV Guide recently sat down with V: The New Series Executive Producer, Jace Hall.. During the interview Jace answered questions relating to his show, The Jace Hall Show, celebrities and the re – imaging of V.. Here’s what he said about V..

TVGuide.com: What would you say is the focus of V in the second half of the season?
Jace Hall: Because we’re dealing with a franchise that existed before in the ’80s, there are certain things that people expect and hope that this franchise will either nod to or communicate in some way.. What comes with that expectation is that we need to do some of that.. We’re able to actually go further with the story, beyond what people have seen or what they can predict.. When this reimaging took place, we actually had a plan and a sense of direction of where this whole thing is supposed to go, so it doesn’t have to be thought up at the last minute.. People will start to really get the benefit of all the forethought that went in..

TVG.com: The fourth episode left us with several huge cliff – hangers, including the impending arrival of an armada of Visitors.. What answers will we get when the show returns?
JH: The audience should always ask themselves when they’re watching this.. ” How would we plausibly react to these things that are coming and happening?” We’re trying to keep this show grounded and character – centric as much as possible, really think about if this was happening, what would logically start to occur and how would people naturally react.. That’s been the challenge and fun for the writing team.. Yes, you’re going to get answers, but those answers are going to create even more questions..

TVG.com: Jane Badler, who played Visitor Diana in the original miniseries, is guest-starring on The Jace Hall Show this year. Does this open the possibility for her to appear on ABC’s V?
JH: I personally would enjoy seeing her in some fashion in the show.. Jane is a great friend and she is wonderful.. That would be a trip.. That will ultimately be up to the writers’ room.. I’m just one person in a team of 100 people.. Yes, I know Jane.. Yes, Jane has come to my office.. That’s as far as I can tell you..

It’s been almost 25 years since NBC canceled the first V following two miniseries and a single season of weekly episodes.. The show’s breakout star, actress Jane Badler ( One Life to Live ), played the evil Diana, a guinea pig – swallowing, nostril – flaring, lizard – skinned space Nazi in a red jumpsuit..

After V, Badler turned up in The Highwayman and in a 1988 – 90 revival of Mission: Impossible, which was filmed in Australia.. Then she fell off the American pop culture radar.. Badler stayed in Australia, got married, raised a family and acted in some Australian stage and screen productions while putting together a cabaret act and releasing her first CD..

With a new V about to premiere on ABC, Badler may be poised to return to the American public eye if the new show invites her to appear as a guest star.. She reached out to V producers and met one for lunch in Los Angeles two months ago..

” They know there is a huge amount of fans, and I’m not talking about people in my age group but people in their 30s who watch television and would be very cheated not to have at least one or two [ Cast members ] brought back,” Badler, 55, said.. ” I’m not saying I’m the one, I just know it’s very important to connect them in some way..”

Syfy’s Battlestar Galactica took that exact approach, casting Richard Hatch, a star of the original, in the new BSG as a different character.. It sounds like that’s what might happen with Badler and V, although she said nothing is likely to occur until after the first episodes get on the air and prove successful..

” I definitely think they’re looking for a different character,” Badler said.. ” I don’t think they’re interested in bringing me back in the same guise.. I think they want more of a surprise element so everyone would go, ‘ Whoa!’ I think that’s more interesting to them and having it done so it makes total sense with lots of integrity.. I’m sure I would be a Visitor, but if I was going to be part of a story line maybe I would be a judge or a lawyer, but that wouldn’t be who I really am, it would be something twisted..”

Executive producer Scott Peters echoed that sentiment..

” I don’t want somebody just to walk by in the background,” he said in August.. ” I want to find a really interesting role, an ironic role based on what their old role was.. I want them to have fun doing it.. I think it’s a fun thing to tip your hat to the old show..”

So far, the new V has not lined up any of the stars of the original – Badler, Faye Grant, Marc Singer – to appear.. That may because the show has had to worry about getting its own new universe in order before importing anyone from the first series..

Production has shut down at least once and ABC announced it will air only four episodes this fall, beginning Nov. 3, and save the balance of the 13 – episode order for March.. Entertainment Weekly reported network executives are nervous about the show being perceived as too sci – fi and may even insist the word ” alien “ not be uttered, a particularly preposterous notion that ABC denies..

The new V features another dark – haired female as leader of the Visitors, but Morena Baccarin ( Firefly ), who plays the character, said her Anna is no Diana..

” That character was a little more fascist and a little more truly evil,” Baccarin said. ” [ Anna ] is definitely more contained, more deliberate but warm.. It was important to Scott Peters that this character be warm and not just a robotic alien chick.. People need to be able to relate and feel drawn toward her..”

Syfy will rebroadcast the original V miniseries today at 1 and 11 p.m. and will air the sequel miniseries, V: The Finale Battle, at 5 p.m. Episodes from the V series will air Monday ( 8 am – 7 pm ) and Tuesday ( 8 am – 4 pm ) followed by the original miniseries (4 pm Tuesday )..

The Pittsburgh Post – Gazette have recently conducted an interview with Jane Badler ( Diana from V: The Original ).. During the interview, they spoke about Jane’s music, acting and V.. Badler talks about reaching out to the producers of the new V and what role she might play if she were to show up on V: The New Series..

” When I heard it was picked up as a series, part of me was so aware of the passage of time,” Badler, 55, said in a phone interview during a visit last month with her family in New Jersey.. ” I feel this ownership because I created the role and we all feel like this journey we did together and suddenly you’re not involved, at least not to begin with.. It was sort of a painful feeling..”

” They know there is a huge amount of fans, and I’m not talking about people in my age group but people in their 30s who watch television and would be very cheated not to have at least one or two characters brought back,” Badler said.. ” I’m not saying I’m the one, I just know it’s very important to connect them in some way..”

” I definitely think they’re looking for a different character,” Badler said.. ” I don’t think they’re interested in bringing me back in the same guise.. I think they want more of a surprise element so everyone would go, ‘Whoa!’ I think that’s more interesting to them and having it done so it makes total sense with lots of integrity.. I’m sure I would be a Visitor but if I was going to be part of a storyline maybe I would be a judge or a lawyer but that wouldn’t be who I really am, it would be something twisted..”

Jane recently sat down at a lunch meeting with Executive Producer of V: The New Series, Jace Hall..

Badler sings the praises of  V creator Kenneth Johnson, who’s trying to launch V feature film based on his novel V: The Second Generation..

” There’s no one like him,” Badler said.. ” He created the first [ V miniseries ] and that was the real deal, the multi – dimensional one.. The impact has been extraordinary and no one could have believed that all these years later how it will not die.. So many people were touched and moved by it. I think the series had much less impact on people.. For me it was fun to do because my character has the most fun of everyone: She was evil and bisexual and powerful but really [ The series ] was very lightweight in comparison to the mini – series.. When you look back in history, it’s definitely the miniseries that will hold up..”
