‘Fatal Attraction’ takes on new life with Joshua Jackson
Q: How is it stepping into the mindset of a character whose world suddenly doesn’t make sense? A: It’s hard. It’s really hard because it’s hard to imagine. But I think for Bailey in each episode, she comes in with a question like what if this is the answer, what if this is the answer? I think she’s searching for answers all the time (about her father’s disappearance) and she’s trying to grasp onto anything that will stay still for long enough. So I think throughout the show stepping into that mindset, it was so about her anxiety of being in the unknown. It’s not even a fear of the unknown, it’s being in it and that is where the anxiety is coming from. Q: So was there a coming down from this character when filming wrapped? A: You know, it’s so strange. It was really hard to say goodbye to her. I really became so close with the story and the characters and I’ve never worked on something that took that long to film, so we were really in it for such a long time. And then just recently, I was at work and someone called out “Bailey!” And I looked up and I was like, “Yes?” But they weren’t talking to me, obviously; they were talking to someone who’s actually called Bailey. But I was still – I don’t know, that name was still living somewhere in my brain as an identifier for me. I was ready, I was like “Yes?” So I thought that I’d kind of let her go but maybe I haven’t. Maybe there’s still some of that left.
