Rebecca Mader On Being the New Girl

At last month's ABC Television Critics Association party, Rebecca Mader chatted with IGN TV about joining a hit show mid-series.

IGN TV: When you join a show already has big as this one, it must be a lot to take in at once.

Rebecca Mader: Well, I think for an actress it's a dream come true to step onto an existing hit TV show. It's a no-brainer. You're like, "Wicked!" You get to jump on and enjoy the roller coaster ride, really. It's been fantastic.

IGN: Sometimes when new characters join a show like this, there can be audience resistance, but the four of you seemed to really click and were well received.

Mader: I think that's because these new characters were integral to the storyline. I think that's why the fans accepted them. It made sense that these new people were coming on, because it was part of moving the whole storyline along where all these people were going to get off [the island]. It wasn't just adding new people and throwing them in and seeing if it stuck. This was like, "Are these people going to actually f**king get off this island and are these people going to make it happen?" I think that just made it so believable and so good in Season 4.

She goes on to reveal that, uh, she doesn't know anything. Seriously, journalists should try to stop getting scoop from the actors. They. Don't. Know. And she remains equally as coy about Charlotte's relationship with Dan. She's talked herself out of creating theories as to Charlotte's back story (her island history, for example) and doesn't read blogs. So she won't be reading this. I suppose that gives me free reign to write what I want. Which I do regardless.
