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..

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?

Well, the San Diego Comic – Con is underway and we can bring you some pics of the V Cast making their rounds around the event.. First up, Elizabeth Mitchell ( Erica Evans ) took part in the Girls Who Kick Ass Panel..

Next up Elizabeth Mitchell ( Erica Evans ), Morris Chestnut ( Ryan Nichols ) and Morena Baccarin ( Anna ) took part in the 2010 Hot List Panel.. Morena Baccarin is even sporting a new hair colour.. It’s unlikely that Baccarin will get to keep the blonde look for the new season of V, alas.. Well, never mind: It’s a fun summer look and I think Baccarin pulls it off..

Then Morena Baccarin posed for some photos, even rubbing elbows with another fellow Hot List Panel guest, Summer Glau ( Dollhouse and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles )..

Later Friday evening, fans had the opportunity for signatures as Elizabeth Mitchell ( Erica Evans ) and Morena Baccarin ( Anna ) headed over to the Warner Bros. Booth..

WRITTEN BY: Jane Boursaw

DIRECT LINK: http://www.tvsquad.com/2010/05/18/morris-chestnut-on-v-the-lizard-baby-and-fighting-off-annas/

TVSquad: So what can you tell us about Val and Ryan’s baby? Is it going to come out as a lizard or a human or something in between?
Morris Chestnut: You will definitely see something interesting in the finale regarding the baby, and there will be a birth.. I can say that.. I know it’s not much, but you know how these things go..

TVS: Yes, I absolutely do.. Well, I predict Val is going to die, and Anna will get her lizard mitts on the baby, and that will give Ryan the impetus he needs to keep fighting.. I know you probably can’t say if I’m on target or not..
MC: Why do you think she’s going to die, though?

TVS: It just seems like that’s where things are headed.. How about this: What can you tell me about Val and Ryan’s relationship going forward?
MC: I actually like the idea that Ryan is having to make up for putting her through so much this season.. He had no idea she could get pregnant, but just the idea that he withheld so much information from her for so long.. He’s put her life in jeopardy with the V soldier, being on the run, and having to hide out and all that..

TVS: Why did he withhold information from her? Because haven’t they been together for ten years?
MC: Yes, but it wasn’t until just recently that the ships descended upon Earth.. He had no idea when they were going to come, and all of a sudden when he was buying the ring, they’re here.. Plus, the less she knew up to that point, the better, because there were people dying, good colony members that were dying.. He didn’t want her to be at risk, because Val’s very inquisitive, and she would have been looking for things and asking questions.. She’s very smart, and she could have come across the wrong person and her life could have been further in jeopardy..

TVS: It just seems like it would have been more helpful for her.. Plus, he didn’t really trust her to take the information and do right by it..
MC: I don’t think he felt she would have done wrong by the information.. I just think he thought if she had the information, it could have put her more in jeopardy..

TVS: Wouldn’t there have been other half – breed babies during this time? Is this the first one that’s ever been born?
MC: There may have been others born around the world, but I think they’re just focusing on this story right now..

TVS: Do we know how many Vs were put on earth when Ryan was put here?
MC: I don’t believe we have an exact number, but I would say there were thousands..

TVS: As I understand it, the Vs are born without human emotion, right? But then the more time they spend with humans, they take on that emotion?
MC: Yes, that’s a good way of putting it.. And maybe it’s adapting or changing to the environment, so to speak..

TVS: So Anna has that possibility, too?
MC: Yes, she does.. We’ll see how long she’s on earth and whether she adapts..

TVS: Some of my TV Squad readers think she’s already showing emotion.. She seems to get angry when she doesn’t have total control; plus, the Fifth Column is getting on her nerves..
MC: Very true, very true..

TVS: I loved the exchange last week between Ryan and Jack, where Ryan was saying that Val’s love had changed him and helped him to fight off Anna’s bliss, but he wasn’t sure he could do it anymore.. Talk a little about what’s going on in his head right now..
MC: There was somewhat of an emotional connection to Val, the way that Ryan found his strength within the relationship and the love he had with Val.. As long as they were together and going strong, it was much easier for him to not succumb to the powerful bliss of Anna.. But the further away he gets from Val, the more vulnerable he is to the bliss.. It’s still a constant struggle to fight against it..

TVS: What is up with Hobbes? I’ve always been skeptical which side he’s on, but then last week … is he just playing Marcus or is he really straddling both sides of the line there?
MC: I don’t really know where Hobbes is coming from.. Ryan has always been skeptical of him, and we’ve had our differences and almost come to blows a few times.. So, I have no idea at this point where he’s going to go and what’s going to happen..

TVS: Same thing with Chad.. I can’t figure out which side he’s on, though you’d think he’d be indebted to the Vs for curing his aneurysm..
MC: The thing about ‘ V ‘ is that it’s definitely about trust.. You really don’t know who you can trust, or if there is anybody you can trust.. I guess you can trust Erica one hundred percent, but can we really?

TVS: That’s what I’m thinking too.. She’d be the one I would trust, but again, lots of factors at play..
MC: Right, and if something happens to Tyler, you just never know..

TVS: Did you watch the original ‘ V ‘ mini – series? Is this a separate entity from the original?
MC: This is a separate entity, but once I was cast in the role, I did go back and watch the mini – series.. It was tough to watch because the actors were great, but it’s just so dated in terms of how far television and visual effects have come..

TVS: Can you tell us anything about next season?
MC: I haven’t met with the writers and producers to find out where my character is going for next year.. I just know that Ryan definitely has to redeem himself for putting Val in jeopardy.. So hopefully, it will be a season of redemption for Ryan..

DIRECT LINK: http://www.dvrplayground.com/blog/entry/20702/V-Star-Morris-Chestnut-talks-about-Traitors-John-May-and-Hybrid-Babies/

TheTVAddict: Your character Ryan is one of the most interesting aspects of the series thus far because we have absolutely no idea as to why he decided to betray his people.. When the show returns will we start to get an idea?
Morris Chestnut: Yes.. There is an episode, either two or three episodes into the relaunch of our show where you’ll find out a lot of the reasons why Ryan betrayed his kind.. Called ” John May,” it’s a pretty intense episode and involves a lot of flashbacks with the John May character ( Played by BATTLESTAR GALACTICA alum Michael Trucco ), where you’ll find out what was going on in my head.. The answer has a lot to do with humanity..

TTVA: If you’ll indulge us for a moment with our theory: One would think that for a V to betray his kind and turn his back on Anna and her ‘ bliss,’ something really bad might have have had to have happened to someone Ryan loved.. Is there any chance something Anna did caused Ryan to sign up with the resistance?
MC: You know it’s interesting you say that because, up until the sixth episode, I had no idea why I was a traitor and that was the reasoning I used for myself.. But now, it’s a little bit different.. Just a little bit..

TTVA: What is Ryan’s relationship with John May like?
MC: [ Laughs ] Yeah, there are umm let’s just say there is a lot of John May stuff coming up.. There are flashbacks, are you wondering what happened to John May?

TTVA: Well, at least in the show’s first four episodes he doesn’t seem to be around too much..
MC: He’s gonna be around, that’s pretty much all I can say..

TTVA: Thanks for that not at all ambiguous answer!
MC: I’m sorry man, they would kill us if I told you..

TTVA: Understandable, but since you brought it up.. Executive Producer Steve Pearlmen did recently let it slip that there’s going to be a death..
MC: [ Laughs ] There is going to be a death.. They didn’t tell you who, did they?

TTVA: Umm, yeah, of course they did.. Okay, not really, but it seems safe to assume that it’s not you..
MC: How do you know that?

TTVA: Well, you’re here, and earlier today we found out that it was a very hard day on set, so presumably the character has already died..
MC: Not necessarily, it could have been a flashback, the person could have come back to life! But there was a death and it was a tough day on set.. That also took place in the ‘ John May ‘ episode..

TTVA: The ‘ John May ‘ episode sure sounds like a pretty big one..
MC: It is.. A lot of things go down in that episode..

TTVA: Changing the subject to something that you can talk about.. What the status of your relationship with Val? In the pilot, you were on your way to propose, until that whole alien invasion got in the way..
MC: Yeah, so right now I guess we’re still dating.. Val’s not actually my fiance, just my girlfriend..

TTVA: Now that it’s been revealed that Val is pregnant, just how long is it going to take Ryan to start noticing that she’s eating a bit more than usual and she’s experiencing morning sickness?
MC: We get right into that in the first episode back and it’s really about her catching on because I kinda understand that there’s something going on with her.. She knows she’s pregnant, but she just doesn’t know that it’s with a half – human half V baby..

TTVA: One would think that a hybrid baby might be of particular interest to Anna and the V‘s..
MC: [ Laughs ] Yeah I imagine that if Anna found out there was a hybrid baby on earth she would have a very strong interest in that..

TTVA: Between the resistance and a pregnant girlfriend Ryan seems to have a lot on his plate, is he going to be able to handle everything okay?
MC: He’s doing alright so far..

TTVA: One last question than we promise we’ll stop prying.. Will we ever get to see more of the reptilian body under Ryan’s human skin?
MC: As a matter of fact yes, you will see more.. In the first episode back you’ll see some stuff.. I’m sorry man, I wish I could tell you more..
