Anna Torv Talks about ‘Fringe’

Okay, full disclaimer up front: I LOVE the show ‘Fringe.’ It’s been struggling in the ratings this season since it airs opposite power-house shows like ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘CSI.’ I hope it survives, but either way, I had to post PopEater’s exclusive interview with the star of the show, Anna Torv.

Here’s what Anna had to say about the pace of the show.

“I’ve heard J.J. and our other show runners say that they didn’t think they were going to [introduce a parallel universe so early]. They anticipated that the parallel universe was going to come season three, or something. I love all of that. I love the parallel universe. I keep hassling them, I pray that we’re going to get to meet the other Olivia, the Olivia from the other side. I would love that very, very much.”

Anna talks about her character, FBI agent Olivia Dunham.

“I think, for her to become this warm, motherly, generous, open person would be a very interesting place for her to go to. And so I wondered if her role is not to become the lover of young Peter, but to in fact become this mother to these two lost boys [Peter and his father, Walter Bishop]. And I do think that they’re two lost boys.”

Yet it won’t be easy, especially given what’s happened between Olivia and Walter Bishop.

“I don’t think she’s forgotten. And I think the audience sometimes forgets, of course, because Walter’s this lovable, funny, gorgeous man. But for Olivia, no, he experimented on her when she was four years old and he won’t tell her what he did, or why he did it. And I don’t think that’s a very pleasant relationship. I think that she’s got drawers and drawers of notes on these two, like sitting in her back office. And you don’t know anything about Olivia.”
