Early yesterday it was announced that The VPN had picked up Bitten, a supernatural/drama by creator Darrin McCann. Last night we caught up with Bitten stars Jonas Armstrong, and Arielle Kebbel, at a production party, and asked them about the show, their characters and possible spoilers!
VSGUIDE: So, How did you find out about the pick-up of Bitten?
ARIELLE: Funny story actually. I was sitting drinking my morning coffee and reading the newspaper when I got this phone call from Darrin. He was hysterical. I couldn't make out a word he said. Finally I said, Whoa dude, calm down, pronounciate. [laughs] Then I was really excited, and went into hysterics. [laughs]
VSGUIDE: What can you tell us about your character?
JONAS: Will's a complicated fella. He's trying to be a man, but at the same time he's acting like a child by running away from his responsiblities. And he's got a curse. Complicated.
ARIELLE: And then he meets Sara, and everything goes horribly wrong. [laughs]
JONAS: [laughs] It's true, he gives up one set of responisiblities for another.
VSGUIDE: You two seemed to have the right mix of chemistry, does this come through with your characters?
JONAS: Yeah, Will and Sara hit it off instantly. They meet at a time in their lives when they need something normal, little do they know that they have to fight for that normality.
ARIELLE: Exactly. Love at first sight. It's rare, and unusual but it happens. But the thing these two people don't understand is that no love is perfect, so I think there will be struggles.
VSGUIDE: So what's instore for these characters?
ARIELLE: Secrets. Big, big secrets. [laughs]
VSGUIDE: Care to dish?
ARIELLE: Well Crescent Bay isn't your normal, average town. It's a town built on secrets, and scandals and I think that if you live in this town you have a secret. So expect big reveals from all characters.
VSGUIDE: Recently, Hudson Leick was added to the recurring cast as Louise Hale, Sara's deceased mother. Um, deceased?
ARIELLE: [laughs] Yeah, things are not what they seem. Louise is dead. She died, but that doesn't stop her from walking around. Again another big secret.
VSGUIDE: You're not really giving away too many secrets? What gives?
JONAS: Darrin will kill us. I fear for my life.
ARIELLE: Diddo. I guess people will just have to tune in and watch the drama unfold. Or more then likely, explode. [laughs]
VSGUIDE: Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us, guys.
JONAS: It was our pleasure.
VSGUIDE: Excited about Bitten and what's to come? Dish about it in the discussion thread. And stay connected to Bitten, coming soon!
