Watching Jericho

In trying to find out more information on Heather (without being too spoiler-like, go read my recap of Casus Belli for the reason why), I came across a wonderful interview on About.com where Sprague Grayden chatted with Rachel Thomas, though I can’t seem to find any date on it to tell me how old it is, though she does mention something about a “budding triangle” between Heather, Jake and Emily, so it’s most likely from before the winter break. It does have some great nuggets, though, especially when Sprague talks about playing “sweet” Heather.

“This is the first time I’ve really been able to play “sweet,” I’ve never really been asked to play “sweet” in the past. Even if I played “sweet,” it was always with a bad girl history, sort of a wounded cub thing and I love it, it’s fun. There’s something really challenging about playing someone as grounded as Heather. I think Heather represents the innocence of the town in a lot of ways. I think we’re going to see her grow up. I’m pretty sure she was raised in a religious background. She’s the grade school teacher in the town. She has a crush on Jake, she didn’t have a lot of friends in the town growing up.”
