Ugo recently posted an interview with Hayden Panettiere (Claire Bennett) in which she dishes on the upcoming season and what may be in store for her character.
Quote:
Panettiere on where we find Claire Bennett in Season 2:
"Well, it's four months from where we left off last season. Claire is really just trying to get in touch with her inner teen self once again. She hasn't given that up, and I think it'd be a sad thing if she did. She's struggling to fit in but not stand out and obviously they're still hiding and running from these people. And West - you know, I think the funny thing about Claire is that as much as she has that beautiful naivete about her and as sweet as she is, she does have that spitfire. She has that sass about her. And so it's fun to watch her . But I think when she meets West - I mean, you guys will see. It's a gradual meeting. It's teenage angst."
Hayden Panettiere on her character's father, Noah Bennett:
"Well, I think we all have proven that in this show, we all have our dirty little secrets. I think him becoming the house dad wouldn't be very exciting. People like watching good bad people and you sometimes want to hate Jack's character and you sometimes love him. And it's kind of a toss-up, depending on what side you're on. But how do I feel about that? I think it's exciting. I think it's exciting for him. I'm not sure if that's exactly what's going to happen, but as I said, everyone always has their dirty little secrets. But I'm excited to see what happens with everyone."
On wanting to play the bad guy:
"I think because I've always been very categorized and sometimes typecast because of the fact that I'm blonde, and people look at me as either the popular cheerleader type or just the blonde. You don't play villains unless you're Sharon Stone when you're blonde and you look like that. It would be - just exciting for me. People look at me as very - as sweet sometimes and I say, I would never in a million years describe myself as sweet, never. But I think it would be a blast. I think it's more fun to be bad. At least I have a chance - at least I could play and pretend to be bad on the screen."
On which special feature fans should check out first on the DVD:
"I would say it would depend if they've seen the show or not. If they haven't seen the show, I would say watch the pilot - the two-hour pilot. I would say watch that first. And then maybe the deleted scenes, 'cause I'm having fun watching the deleted scenes - but that's probably only because I know what was deleted and what wasn't. There's some great stuff - there's some goofy commentaries, like I'm talking goofy commentaries. I mean, I think I remember my commentary and I think they probably edited it, but everything on it is great. You know, I love DVDs and you get to go and look at the extras and find certain things"
