There’s no shortage of strong women on STARZ’ new “Torchwood: Miracle Day” series. The new show is a continuation of the BBC series and is now set in the U.S. where Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) and Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), the last living members of Torchwood, are on the run with CIA analyst Esther Drummond, played by Alexa Havins. Speakeasy spoke with Myles and Havins about what they did to prepare for their new roles...
... Q: The first few shows have been so frantic. Is the pace going to level off?
Myles: "You haven’t seen anything yet. It ramps up a hundred percent. Once you get to episode five, in particular it starts to unravel and unravel so fast. And there’s so much to take in. It just goes crazy the closer you get to finding out what’s going on. You will not be able to breathe."
Havins: "And just when you think it’s a plateau, no, no, no."
Myles: "That’s what Russell [Davies] does, you see. I see exactly where this is going, it’s so simple. He will then drop you like a ton of bricks and start going in the other direction. This series is about expecting the unexpected..."
