We have fun with it. It's really examining the family dynamic, more than anything else. There just happens to be some witchcraft, on the side. Hide

She's a Show more On her character Wendy from Witches of East End (2013): She's the one that stirs up trouble. She's a troublemaker, but she's very grounded and loyal. She's very loyal to her family. She's very loyal to her sister. She loves being an aunt. She loves her nieces. But, she's the one that brings out the truth when Joanna (Julia Ormond) is in denial and hiding the magic from her daughters to give them a normal life. Wendy is like, "What are you talking about? We're witches! That's what we are!" I've kept tabs on her, even though she hasn't spoken to me in over 100 years because I killed one of her daughters. I mean, whatever! I've come to warn her of this imminent evil that's coming towards the family. So, she's the naughty one of the family, but she's got good intentions. She's really fun! She's got something sarcastic to say, always. She's gonna needle everyone in the family to keep everybody honest about what's going on. I was a huge Bewitched fan, growing up, and there was this episode about Serena, the cousin that comes to town, and she's the bad girl. It was funny, the first week of us filming in Vancouver, I was like, "That is so much Wendy." She always comes into town and causes trouble. I think Serena on Bewitched is an inspiration for Wendy.

I'm constantly fighting against that even when I play the wife or the girlfriend or the best friend. I always try my hardest to bring as much layering in and not make things stereotypical, but it's hard. Hide
