The core
Fringe cast and showrunners gave Comic-Con goers in Ballroom 20 a show on Saturday when series regular
Joshua Jackson -- who wasn't confirmed to attend -- made a surprise appearance.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Executive producer
Jeff Pinkner started the panel off by saying, "
Plum roles are really hard to get these days," addressing the elephant of the room (aka Peter not existing any more). "
There were some auditions" for the role of Peter so "
we're going to show you what we through to find Peter," executive producer
J.H. Wyman added, before a star-studded audition highlight reel was shown...
... When asked whether the upcoming fourth season would be
Fringe as
It's a Wonderful Life, Pinkner answered, "
It's not that Peter's conscious" is out there. "
Josh calls every day, 'What am I doing this year?,' " he added.
But when asked how Peter could have fathered a child when Peter never existed, all Torv would tease was: "
The question is: Is there a child?"
