SCIFI AND TV TALK: Haven's Bree Williamson - State of Mind

As a psychiatrist, Haven’s Dr. Claire Callahan never knows what to expect when it comes to her work or the patients she treats. A big part of her job involves caring for “The Troubled,” a group of townsfolk who suffer from a supernatural affliction that sometimes turns their lives and the lives of others into a living nightmare. Not everyone in her profession is equipped to handle such a bizarre and dangerous workload, but Claire is not deterred by such a challenge, and neither is the actress who plays her, Bree Williamson.
“My character is very smart as well as abrasive and to the point when she talks,” says Williamson. “Sometimes Claire tends to say just what’s on her mind and with very little filter, which makes her funny, quirky and a joy to play. I enjoyed that a great deal and didn’t find it at all a challenge, but definitely fun. Again, she has this thing going on where her mouth moves before her brain can figure out if she should say what she’s going to say. There are times when Claire might get on peoples’ nerves a little bit because she’s intuitive and knows exactly what’s going on. That’s not always welcome, especially in a place like Haven where there are so many hidden things, if you know what I mean.”
Claire Callahan makes her debut in the third season Haven episode Stay. Claire arrives at Haven Police Station intent on speaking with Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) following her recent abduction and subsequent rescue. Instead, she ends up out in the field with Audrey and her partner, police chief Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant), searching for what appears to be a pack of naked, wild savages, or are they? Williamson and the rest of the show’s cast and crew braved the elements during the filming of this episode...
Haven airs Friday at 10/9C on Syfy.
