Michelle Krusiec reflects on playing the new type of shapeshifter Seven on Fringe, and discusses whether she may return.

Speaking to TV Overmind, Michelle Krusiec fondly reflects on her time on Fringe. She talks about developing her character, which may give us some idea about what to expect from shapeshifters in the future:

I really developed Seven with an animal in mind. You’re probably laughing, but I took this role very seriously. I felt like it was a great opportunity to work off of the pre-established mythology, and since Seven is a new breed of shapeshifter, I wanted to see what my imagination could come up with. developed this idea that Seven is a super soldier but with empathic capabilities.  As a soldier, she has a direct mission objective she has to follow, but since she’s also part human, she uses her ability to experience human emotions to convince Malcolm Truss to help her.

On whether she thinks her character may return, despite being shot during last week’s episode, Michelle says:

I wanted more. I was very sad when I read that Seven gets shot. I think I went right into mourning, but what was really incredible was being introduced to the Fringies.  I had no idea there were such loyal fans out there.  I really didn’t want to let them down.  Although, having become a fan of the show myself now, I understand the addiction and the loyalty.  There’s really nothing quite like it on TV.

Too bad she didn’t get to develop her role more! Read the full interview at TV Overmind.
