Not surprisingly, the little town of Haven has been anything idyllic this third season. Behind its picturesque façade, the seaside community and its residents have continued to be plagued by the supernatural Troubles. Our heroes, Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) and Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant), have also been busy trying to find an elusive murderer known as “The Bolt-Gun Killer” who has been collecting body parts for his own twisted scheme. To further complicate her life, Audrey is fast approaching the day when, like her predecessors, Sarah and Lucy, she will vanish from Haven.
Prior to the recent holidays, Haven’s Emily Rose, Eric Balfour (Duke Crocker) and Adam Copeland (Dwight “The Cleaner” Hendrickson) spoke with me and other journalists about the show’s third season. The season finale, Thanks for the Memories, along with the penultimate season three episode Reunion, will air back-to-back on January 17th on Syfy. The following is an edited version of that Q & A. Enjoy!
... Q: Emily, I really enjoyed the episode “Last Goodbyes” where Audrey finds everyone in the town unconscious. Can you talk a little bit about shooting that particular episode and, anything that really sticks out for you production-wise?
Emily Rose: "I just remember being really tired the whole time. My husband's family was in town and also my really good friend, Nolan North, who I work with on a different project (Rose and North provide the voices for Elena Fisher and Nathan Drake in the video game series Uncharted), was in town, too, and guest-starring in the episode. So after a long day of filming, you have to prepare for the next day, but you want to spend time with these people in your life as well. Fortunately, our producers/writers have been really great about giving us time off throughout this season to prepare and recoup in different places, as far as a character being lighter in one episode or parts of the episode.
That was the first episode in the whole season that I had to be in top-to-bottom like every single day because everybody was asleep. I think we were filming a press thing on the weekend as well, so I just remember feeling like I was walking around in a coma. But it was really fun to work with Nolan. It's always fun to have friends come on-set. I haven’t been in this business long enough to experience working with people for long terms again and again, which is kind of just starting to happen in my work.
It was a thrill to see that people responded positively to that episode, because you never know what will happen when you take a number of your main characters out of the story for a bit or limit the amount of time they’re seen onscreen. It's a big risk, and rightfully so, because the fans want to see everybody, every week. I'm glad it ended up working out, but I was sure tired by the end of it..."
Haven's final two season three episodes, 'Reunion,' and 'Thanks for the Memories,' air Thursday, January 17, 2013 on Syfy beginning at 8/7C. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE EPISODE, INCLUDING THE HAVEN SEASON 3 MARATHON ON JANUARY 17.
