V‘s Executive Producer, Scott Rosenbaum, has revealed that there will be ” shifting loyalties “ in V: The New Series Season Two..

Recently speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Rosenbaum suggested that the characters will face much more stress in future episodes.. Click on the image below to watch the ” First Part “ interview video..

The ” First Part “ of the interview, EW chats with Joel Gretsch ( Father Jack Landry ), Charles Mesure ( Kyle Hobbs ), Elizabeth Mitchell ( Erica Evans ), Executive Producer Scott Rosenbaum and Morris Chestnut ( Ryan Nichols ).. The interview starts off with EW’s Michael Ausiello congratulating Elizabeth Mitchell on her Emmy nomination for LOST as they talk about her role and acceptance speech..

Moving onto V, the Cast and Scott Rosenbaum talk about getting over the growing pains of the first season and settling into the groove of the end of season, showing the potential of Season Two.. Morris Chestnut explains that it brought them closer as a cast and helped them grow into their roles which should make Season Two an exciting year.. As Joel Gretsch gives credit to Rosenbaum for pulling Season One together after joining behind – the – scenes half way through the season..

Rosenbaum explains how he came took over half way through Season One: ” I sorta came in middle and my goal was to try plant the seeds to create something that can last for a, hopefully, a really long time.. And I think if you watch the Season Finale, there’s some very strong choices for all the different characters..”

He continued: ” Coming off from that, just being in the Writers Room, we’ve had so many great stories that we’ve come with that we’re so excited to tell..”

” I’d say the last three episodes [ Of Season One ] are probably a good template for what the show will fell like moving forward..”

” What I want to do – and what [ The cast ] are so great at doing – is find the nerve endings in the characters and just squeeze them,” he said.. ” I think what’s going to happen is, they’re in a war.. And war changes people..”

He continued: ” When you talk about loyalty, I think it’s how are these characters going to react when they’re in a war and it’s life and death and they have to choose between themselves or possibly the greater good?? Which decision are they going to make??”

When asked about Season Two’s theme changing to ” loyalties,” early in Season Two, Rosenbaum explains: ” There will be, I think, a lot of loyalties shifting and a lot of maneuvering and then the question is when they fall, what side is everyone going to be on??”

Asked how importantly it is to air the show consecutive, Rosenbaum reveals: ” The plan is to run consecutive.. Actually, the first 6 [ Episodes ], I think, will air in November [ 2010 ] and then it’s Christmas so, I think, we’ll be off for two weeks, and then we’ll run the rest of the episodes..”

Rosenbaum promised that there will be a ” huge cliffhanger “ in the middle of the season and suggested that some of the dynamics of the show will change..

” The fun of this season is finally, I’m going to have [ The ] group led by Erica start to get a little bit ahead of [ Anna's group ] for the first time and start to figure out what their plans are,” he said.. ” So they’ll know what the red sky was, but the world won’t.. But it is the first shot of the war.. You will find out what it is at the end of the first episode but it’s such a big twist that I don’t want to give it away right now..”

The ” Second Part “ of the interview, EW chats with Logan Huffman ( Tyler Evans ) Laura Vandervoort ( Lisa ), Scott Wolf ( Chad Decker ), Morena Baccarin ( Anna ) and Executive Producer Steve Pearlman.. Click on the image below to watch the ” Second Part “ interview video..

On Saturday 24th July, some of the V: The New Series Cast, headed over to The SyFy / EW after party which was held @ the Hotel Solamar to celebrate Comic – Con.. The party was a star – studded event where Joel Gretsch ( Father Jack Landry ), Laura Vandervoort ( Lisa ), Morena Baccarin ( Anna ) rubbed elbows with stars alike.. The other people with Joel Gretsch are Colin Ferguson ( Eureka ), and Dave Howe ( SyFy President )..

The V Panel was held at 2:30pm on Saturday 24th July 2010 at the San Diego Comic – Con, which was presented in Ballroom 20..  In attendance was a star – studded cast which included Elizabeth Mitchell ( Erica Evans ), Morris Chestnut ( Ryan Nichols ), Joel Gretsch ( Father Jack Landry ), Logan Huffman ( Tyler Evans ), Laura Vandervoort ( Lisa ), Charles Mesure ( Kyle Hobbs ), Morena Baccarin ( Anna ) and Scott Wolf ( Chad Decker ), along with Executive Producers Scott Rosenbaum and Steve Pearlman..

When media reporters started lining up for the TV Panels at Comic – Con, in the wee early hours the morning, many asked nearby fans which cast they were waiting for.. A big portion of the crowd said they were already lining up for V.. Not that we ever doubted the dedication of Veeks alike.. Comic – Con goers were rewarded with lots of teases and tidbits on the upcoming season, and you get them right here without having to line up or anything..

So how is V: The New Series Season Two going to top Season One? Well during today’s panel at Comic – Con, Executive Producer Scott ( Skeeter ) Rosenbaum, promised that Season Two will be bigger and better in every way.. Rosenbaum acknowledged that ” not as many cards were turned over “ last season..

It’s no secret that V went through some serious behind – the – scene struggles its freshman year but with Rosenbaum solidly seated in the showrunner’s seat now, things are getting interesting.. One complaint some fans of the series had about the first season of the show was it felt too small in scope, given the situation.. Rosenbaum promised that Season Two of V would ” absolutely “ be bigger and that the network actually encouraged them to give the show more of an international feel, which everyone agreed was the right choice.. In fact, they’d recently sent crews to various parts of Europe and Asia to shoot footage that could be used as background for scenes they might like to spend in various countries down the line..

Lots of revelations are planned for season two, as well as tons of character backstory.. ” We’re going to see the true nature of what the visitors are about, and what they’re like underneath, so it’s going to be exciting,” says executive producer Scott Rosenbaum.. ” It will be chock full of great reveals,” Rosenbaum promises..

He also teased that Lisa ( Laura Vandervoort ) will look for the nurturing she’s not receiving from mother Anna ( Morena Baccarin ) by developing a closer relationship with Erica ( Elizabeth Mitchell ), while Tyler ( Logan Huffman ) will return the favor by saddling up with Anna..

Most importantly, fans will finally get to meet Anna’s mother, who will make her entrance at the end of the first episode.. Rosenbaum hinted that this character was perhaps the most important among several new characters we’ll be meeting this year.. Later, a question was asked about whether we’d go to the Visitors’ home planet, and Rosenbaum said we’d certainly learn more about them – which is when he began a sentence with, ” When we meet Diana …”

This got a big reaction, and Rosenbaum admitted he’d just accidentally given away that yes, Anna’s mother will share the name with an iconic character from the original V.. Even before we knew this fact, Rosenbaum was asked during the panel if perhaps Jane Badler, who played Diana in V: The Original Mini – Series, could play Anna’s mother.. Rosenbaum wouldn’t commit to this, though he did say ” We’re going to cast the best actor and she is certainly someone we’re thinking about,” said Rosenbaum.. ” I don’t know if she’ll be Anna’s mother, but I’d like to have her be in the show this season..” Word is that Producers are talking to Jane Badler, the original alien baddie in the 1983 version of V..

So is the name a coincidence? ” When I was pitching the concept to the network and the studio on who this character was, it was easiest to frame it in terms of if it’s her mother, is it possible that [ It's the one ] from the ’80s series?” Rosenbaum said after the panel..

Season Two will uncover a lot more mysteries about the Visitors.. What the V‘s really look like.. How long they’ve been here.. And the V‘s true reasons for coming to Earth.. More about the Visitors under Anna’s leadership.. How their extended stay has changed world events and why they’re planning to stick around..

So what else was revealed for Season Two, well in no particular order:

In regards to the ” Red Sky “ in the Season One finale, ” You will find out what the red sky means at the end of the season premiere,” Scott promises..

Viewers will be treated to a piece of the V‘s home world.. ” When we meet Diana, she’ll be in her natural habitat,” reveals Rosenbaum.. It’s through ” Diana,” ( Anna’s mother ) viewers will see where the Visitors came from.. We’re going to meet Diana towards the end of the first episode of Season Two..

Joel Gretsch ( Father Jack Landry ) was asked if there will be more ” Action Jack “ next season.. At this point, Rosenbaum steps in and says that, yes, viewers will see more of a ” Soldier Priest “ than the ” Priest Soldier “ we saw in Season One.. We can only assume Jack will be giving a little less conversation and a little more action come next season.. Though Jack started out as a man of peace, his main challenge this year will be maintaining that morality.. The show is interested in pursuing what happens when mankind’s moral compasses ( Such as priests ) start losing their morality.. ” Jack is on the far end of the spectrum as a man of peace and God, so his challenge is to be able to maintain that..” Rosenbaum likened his underground man of God to the ” moral spine “ of humanity that the Visitors are so intent on breaking.. Father Jack will continue to question his faith and his belief that peace cannot be accomplished through armed Resistance..

Elizabeth Mitchell ( Erica Evans ) was asked about the strong characters she has played before; what makes Erica unique? She laughs, because she usually thinks of Erica the same as the other women.. She does say that Erica’s humanity is a major focus for her..

Morena Baccarin ( Anna ) is asked about her V offsprings being destroyed, and her subsequent scream, the first emotion she has shown.. She responds that Anna will face an interesting conflict all season after the death of her eggs.. ” It will take her closer to humanity than she wants to be,” Morena says.. Anna has a very ” slow and devious “ plan for mankind; the red sky is the first strike, and the meaning of that ominous coloring will be revealed in the first episode of the season premiere..

Erica and Anna will find that they have one thing in common: They are both losing their children.. Just as Tyler is seduced by the advanced technology of the Visitors, Lisa will continue to be handicapped by her emotions and empathy for the humans.. This will push each further away from their own mothers and into the waiting arms of a surrogate mother figure.. Tyler will align with Anna and Lisa will align with Erica – at least for a time.. Children are fickle and their attraction and desire to find something relatable and to fill the void in their hearts will draw them into worlds diametrically opposite from anything they have ever known..

Lisa ( Laura Vandervoort ) will look towards Erica as a nurturing mother figure, while Tyler will be drawn closer to Anna; we’ll find out exactly why Anna is so obsessed with Tyler, and whether either woman will use the others child as leverage in the war..

” Lizard love is the best love!” says the beautiful Morena Baccarin rocking a blonde head of hair.. We will be finding out why she seems to be so interested in Tyler..

Was Scott Wolf’s ( Chad Decker ) character’s aneurysm real? It’s not entirely clear.. Is Chad Decker still interested in furthering his career, or is he looking for ” lizard love?” Wolf says yes, ” lizard canoodling “ with Anna would be worth it even if she bit his head off.. He suggests that Anna’s connection to humanity has much more to do with her attraction to Chad.. He also mentions that Chad will choose an allegiance next season and that people may be surprised to discover what side Chad ends up fighting on..

We’ll also get to meet Chad’s father mid season, which will shed some light on why Chad has made some of the decisions in his life that he has..

What was the purpose of killing Ryan’s ( Morris Chestnut ) wife, Val ( Lourdes Benedicto )? Rosenbaum says that it was necessary for Anna to make Ryan see the bad sides of humanity so he’ll again be susceptible to Anna’s bliss.. So Val really is dead.. She will not be returning for Season Two..

Logan Huffman ( Tyler Evans ) is asked if whether a Tyler will mend the rift with his father.. He hopes so, because shooting with Nicholas Lea ( Joe Evans ) was a lot of fun.. Tyler’s father, Joe Evans ( Nicholas Lea ), will be back in Season Two.. Tyler will also find out who his birth father is..

Rosenbaum reveals that as the Fifth Column expands, they are going to meet a ” pretty radical “ group of other Fifth Columns, which will cause conflict, as they have a very different means of dealing with the war..

Charles Mesure ( Kyle Hobbs ) announced at he is coming back as a series regular for Season Two and will take a more prominent role on the show.. Will Hobbes be forced to choose sides in the impending war? It appears that he’ll have to do just that.. Just exactly where on the spectrum of good and evil he falls is not yet determined.. ” He’s seen the V‘s as a real threat and the humans will have to do something about.. In Season Two, we’ll see which way he goes,” Scott Rosenbaum spills..

In a maneuver that shocked everyone last season he sold out the Resistance for a hefty sum of money.. But like Judas, he may ultimately regret taking the 30 pieces of silver in exchange for the lives of his new – found friends..

Hobbs may not yet realize it, but Erica, Jack, and Ryan have become a quasi – family for him.. Hobbs surprisingly has trusted them enough to invite them into his life and once they are excluded he may be surprised to realize how much he needed them.. They are not only the voice of reason, but the voice of humanity – and if Hobbs wants to retain his humanity, he will need to quickly decide which side he is on.. He will also begin to recognize that money is no longer the currency that it was before the arrival of the Visitors.. Such intangibles as loyalty, love and friendship may become the currency of the day in which he will suddenly find himself craving and seeking out.. Man cannot live by money alone.. Man must have human connections or longevity will be pointless..

Laura Vandervoort ( Lisa ) is asked whether Lisa is up to the challenge to be the possibile savior of humanity.. Yes, but she can’t say whether she will actually be that savior..

What is the dynamic between Erica and Anna next season? Rosenbaum said that the show is about two mothers battling for their children, and how far they are willing to go to protect their own.. There will be a burgeoning relationship between Erica and Lisa, while Tyler will be pushed towards Anna.. So, how do these women use, or not use, their new wards? Will the V‘s world be seen? Rosenbaum says that yes, when Diana, Anna’s mother, is seen, it will be in their home world.. ( This was actually an error by Rosenbaum who spoiled the name of Anna’s mom )..

What was the most shocking things for the cast? For Vandervoort, it was finding out Lisa was Anna’s daughter.. For Baccarin, it was killing Val.. Mitchell revealed that the audience will find out, definitively, why Anna is so interested in Tyler.. Rosenbaum expanded on this, saying that they are not trying to be cute about the show’s mythology.. In other words, Season Two will answer questions about the V‘s past, and their long – planned invasion of Earth, which are apparently ” very creepy..”

Will the V / human hybrid baby be central? Ryan’s child ” was not meant to be;” but Anna will use child for her ” devious advantage “ says Rosenbaum.. The hybrid is a way to manipulate Ryan.. ” The hybrid baby is another weapon, as Anna would look at it, in her arsenal..” Rosenbaum explained that her demise was a necessary power play for Anna, in her attempt to gain leverage over Ryan..  The conflicted father – to – be, seduced by the joys of human emotion needed to experience pain and suffering, another common aspect of humanity, in order to get him to return to ” V – dom..”

So is he Ryan now an enemy of the Fifth Column?  Said Morris Chestnut, ” I don’t know, I think Ryan responds to the bliss depending on what kind of dress Anna is wearing..”

We’re going to find out how long the Vs have been here and whether and how they’ve changed world history.. We will find out more about how long the Vs have been putting sleeper agents on Earth.. Rosenbaum pondered, ” Have they been here in the 40s, the 50s, the 60s? Has their presence changed world events in ways we can’t imagine?” We will also find out exactly what the Visitors are, physically – whether we can truly define them as lizards or perhaps a combination of species..

Scott Rosenbaum wouldn’t say whether John May would return in Season Two..

V returns in November 2010 on ABC..

And finally, will the audience see the global impact of the V invasion? Absolutely.. While it is great to focus on the immediate concerns of those in New York, the global effect of the invasion is of major importance and will have consequences for all the characters.. We will see more of the Fifth Column around the world.. ” We’re going to be moving around more internationally,” says Rosenbaum.. The show will enjoy a global scope in season two, with footage shot in Europe and Asia.. So prepare to get global..

What do you think of V ‘s new direction? Are you on board?

DIRECT LINK: http://www.tv.com/visiting-with-vs-laura-vandervoort-/story/22875.html

TV.com: When last we left off – well, I think Anna’s onto you..
Laura Vandervoort: You think? [ Laughs ] Yeah, that was a huge turn of events at the end of [ Last week's ] episode.. I think it’s going to … propel Lisa in a new direction, whether it’s against or for the Vs and their tasks and goals.. [ Her mother might not be pleased with her, but ] Lisa’s not pleased with her mother, either..

TV: With only a few episodes left in the season, you must already be done filming..
LV: Yeah, we finished the first season, so we’re all done and just waiting to hear about a second season..

TV: How did you approach the season finale? Does it end on a cliffhanger?
LV: It’s a huge cliffhanger.. Because we didn’t know – I mean, I’m not sure if they had alternate endings or anything like that, because we knew we wouldn’t know about a second season before we were done with the first season.. I think they just had a general cliffhanger, that if it was the last episode you saw, it would still make sense.. But it’s a great cliffhanger for if we have a second season, because it leaves all of the characters in turmoil and it really shakes all of our lives up and our relationships as well.. The event that occurs, all of us as the actors were asking the producers, ” Well, what does this mean? What’s going to happen next?” We were all concerned because of what happens and we were like, ” What’s going to happen to us? Are our characters still around?” So it’s a cool ending..

TV: Do you find it at all ironic that one of your first TV roles was on Nickelodeon’s ” Are You Afraid of The Dark,” where you played a girl who was targeted by aliens, and now you’re playing an alien yourself?
LV: Yeah, I guess every Canadian seems to – growing up, if they’re actors, they do either Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of The Dark.. I had a chance to do both, and those were cool experiences.. But yeah, it seems like a lot of the stuff I’ve been doing is sci – fi..

TV: Is that what you set out to do? Between Smallville and V you haven’t played many human characters, at least on American TV..
LV: That’s been organic, I didn’t go looking for it.. I think Smallville put me in the sci – fi realm and the fan base and that propelled me to do V and Riverworld, which I was a human in.. That’s just kind of how things happened..

TV: When it comes to human versus non – human characters, do you prefer one type of role over the other?
LV: No, I love to mix it up and – it’s fun to play someone who isn’t human because you have so many secrets and anything you do can be odd and it’s still taken as okay because you’re not human.. I don’t really have a preference.. I love to play girls that are strong, and it seems that in sci – fi, that’s how they write the women.. So as long as the females are strong and happy, human or alien..

TV: Are there any TV roles – sci – fi or otherwise – that you’re just dying to play?
LV: Well, I’ve always wanted to do a period feature, something maybe in the Victorian era, or a western.. I would love to do all different genres, maybe a great horror film.. I’d pretty much do anything, within reason.. I love the Glee, I’d love to get on there, except I don’t sing and dance.. Maybe some comedy would be fun, but that’s one of the toughest art forms, comedy.. So I’d have to work on that..

TV: Lisa could sure use some laughter in her life right now, what with her new – found ability to feel human emotion..
LV: [ Tonight ] is a great episode for Lisa.. It’s a lot about her and what her mother has done to her..

TV: I read in the synopsis that Anna’s going to use your ” attack ” as a threat..
LV: Yeah, with what she did to me, she’s going to blame the Fifth Column and say that it’s a terrorist attack on her daughter.. She’s using me as a pawn to get Tyler back on the ship.. So she’s using and abusing me..

TV: But we don’t yet know exactly what Anna’s got planned for Tyler..
LV: I’m not so sure Lisa does, and I definitely don’t, myself.. Lisa’s just following orders.. But I guess we’ll find out, if there’s another season..

WRITTEN BY: Joe Gillis

DIRECT LINK: http://theflickcast.com/2010/04/05/exclusive-laura-vandervoort-talks-v-smallville/

The Flickcast: What can we expect to see for the rest of this season on V?
Laura Vandervoort: Oh boy! Quite a bit of action and drama because a lot of the main characters that haven’t interacted before are going to, and that’s going to add a lot of plot points and conflict..

There will be explosions, the Fifth Column is going to be creating some havoc, the romance between my character and Tyler ( Logan Huffman ) thickens, there’s a pregnancy, a death, so much! I think the audience is going to be shocked every time they watch..

TFC: Were you a fan of the original series when you came onto this project? How much did you know about it?
LV: I’m actually embarrassed to say that I didn’t know about V when I was first introduced to the project.. I was quickly told, and I looked it up, and found it’s huge cult following from the 80s.. So I went out and bought the miniseries, watched it since, and I really enjoyed it..

I can see where they came up with these characters from the original.. They kind of combined certain characters to create Erica ( Elizabeth Mitchell ) and different characters to create Chad ( Scott Wolf ).. I’m excited about the show.. It’s just so different from the original, with the amount of technological advances in special effects..

TFC: With a show like this, there are plenty of twists and turns in the week – to – week episodes.. Are you ever shocked and surprised when you read about them in the script?
LV: Absolutely.. We just got the next script and I can’t believe some of the things the writers come up with.. I’m involved in the show, I’m playing one of the characters, and I didn’t see any of the things that they came up coming.. I honestly didn’t.. Some of the stuff shocked me, and the audience isn’t going to believe what they’re going to see..

TFC: With you playing Morena Baccarin’s on – screen daughter, has it been brought up that you may have to cut your hair?
LV: [ Laughs ] it hasn’t been discussed just yet.. One of the things that we purposely did is made Anna and Lisa look very different from each other.. She’s got the short brown hair and brown eyes, while Lisa has long blonde hair and blue eyes..

But no, they haven’t discussed cutting the hair, but it really doesn’t matter what we look like on the outside.. As the old saying goes, it only matters what’s on the inside, which in this case is our lizard skin..

TFC: Before coming onto ABC’s V, you also played a pretty big role on Smallville, as Kara, Clark’s cousin from Krypton.. Any plans to return to that character?
LV: Well, I just heard that they got picked up for a 10th season, but I haven’t heard from the people at Smallville about returning at all.. I’d love to return to round up where my character went to..

She sort of just disappeared, and wasn’t addressed where she went or why.. I’d love to just bring closure to Kara herself, so if they did ask me back, I’d fly over there in a heartbeat..

TFC: Between playing Lisa on V and Supergirl on Smallville, is there one role that you’ve always wanted to tackle that you haven’t gotten the chance to do just yet?
LV: Well, I don’t have a specific role in mind.. I love playing to the opposite, considering what people assume I’ll do given how I look.. I’d like to go against the grain in any role.. I’ve always wanted to do a period piece, in like a period – style costume.. That would be wonderful.. That or a western are both on my checklist of things to do..

DIRECT LINK: http://thetvaddict.com/2010/03/23/provile-laura-vandervoort-promises-that-everything-lisa-knows-will-change-when-v-returns/

TheTVAddict: When we last left V, audiences were surprised to discover that Anna was your mom..
Laura Vandervoort: So was I..

TTVA: You didn’t know heading into the series that Anna was your Mom?
LV: No I didn’t! I literally got the script and I turned the page and read, ” Thank you Mom..” I thought it must be a typo.. It was a shock and I’m so excited about it because that was my character’s first big bombshell and it’s created quite an interesting storyline for me..

TTVA: Can you talk a little bit about what’s in store for your character when V returns?
LV: You’re going to see a lot more of Lisa which I’m excited about because we find out she’s next in line for Queen.. She’s kind of the chosen one from Anna’s children, and with that will come a lot of responsibility.. Lisa doesn’t necessarily get to think for herself and many people are watching her to make sure she is ready for the job.. But I think that over the next couple of episodes the audience will get to know Lisa, get to know her heart and realize that not only can she think for herself, perhaps she’s somewhat conflicted which might lead her to try and find her own path all the while staying true to her people..

TTVA: What makes Lisa the chosen one?
LV: She fits the bill and has the quality needed to be Queen.. What exactly that means you’ll have to wait and see..

TTVA: Is there any jealous amongst the V over Lisa being the chosen one?
LV: You would think that her siblings would be jealous, but they aren’t.. The V don’t have emotions like that.. They’re like an ant colony in the sense that one ant wouldn’t kill another to be queen or maybe they would maybe I should watch my back?!

TTVA: One might be a little nervous if they were Lisa!
LV: I’ll know something is up if the writer’s give me an evil twin brother! I suppose it’s possible, but the way it has been explained to me is that the V don’t have emotions like humans, so I don’t imagine there would be any jealousy..

TTVA: If the V don’t have any emotions, what would lead a V like say Ryan ( Morris Chestnut ) to splinter off and join the resistance?
LV: Morris’ character has been on earth long enough to develop empathy and emotions for the humans.. It’s like our skin.. Our human skin isn’t just a layer on top, it’s actually connected with tissue and cells.. So if you puncture our human skin we will feel it, it’s attached to us like a nail on your finger and you pull it it hurts.. Eventually if you’re wearing your human skin long enough, or if you’re on earth long enough, it starts to take over..

TTVA: So if Lisa doesn’t have emotion, are her feelings for Tyler completely fabricated?
LV: I think that at the beginning, Tyler was nothing more than a task.. Lisa’s a good actor and knows how to flirt.. The V‘s are well versed in the human language, know how to walk and talk like humans and cry on cue if it’s necessary to get the job done.. So I think Lisa’s good at manipulating and acting like she feels for Tyler at this point.. But that could change..

TTVA: With the second chapter of the season being billed as Anna ( Morena Baccarin ) Versus Erica ( Elizabeth Mitchell ), might it be safe to assume that Lisa’s relationship with Erica could mirror that of Tyler’s to Anna?
LV: Ummm! let’s put it this way, that would certainly be an interesting place to take the character.. Lisa’s mother is cold and unmotherly, whereas Erica is warm, kind of like that cool soccer mom.. If Lisa sees that, it’s possible she’ll envy that..

TTVA: Assuming your imdb profile is accurate, you have a second degree black belt.. Is there any chance you’ll get the opportunity to put your karate skills to use in the latter half of the season?
LV: As the show picks up and the story – lines become more heated, fans can definitely expect more action.. But while I would love to fight, as the daughter of Anna I have people to do my dirty work.. Lisa gets more involved in that other kind of action!

TTVA: In an interview with the LA Times, executive producer Scott Rosenbaum promised that when the s how returns, ” there will be three or four huge, oh – my – God, wow! I – didn’t – see – that – coming [ moments ]..” Is Lisa involved in any of those four moments?
LV: They don’t tell me much ahead of time, I only know a few little things that are going to happen in episode 109 because Steve Pearlmen, our other executive producer, was so excited that he had to tell me about it.. Yes, fans should expect a big bombshell for Lisa and everything that she knows will change..
