Only 27 days left…and I’ll see BRITNEY live for the forth time :)
Covert Affairs 2x10 (the midseason finale) is called “World Leader Pretend”
I knew it it were just a mid-season finale…more episodes are wating for us :)
(this link includes a bit of casting news)
3 EPISODES LEFT! :(
Sooo sad :( !! That’s impossible…I know that Peter Gallagher, during an interview or on Twitter (I don’t remeber…but I’m sure about it), talked about 16 episodes for the 2nd season…So it doesn’t make sense…And the new Campbell’s house set they’ve built?? Since now, we didn’t see so much scenes on it (we should say NO scenes at ALL!)…and next ep. is the “Auggie episode”, and I guess no A&J…the 2X08 is the ep. where Joan goes on the field (so no home scenes, IMO). And then what? only one episode left?? No way!! :( Maybe we should ask Peter on Twitter. He knows for sure…
Kari Matchett (who plays Joan Campbell on the series), who was very busy filming that day but was kind enough to come and visit us in the lounge to answer a few quick questions in between takes.
On filming more scenes with Arthur and Joan at home
At the studio, we were shown a monstrous set that is Arthur and Joan’s house. When asked about what would be happening on that set, Kari said that the house was built because they were starting to shoot more scenes with those two at home. The writers are apparently trying to get Joan and Arthur out of the CIA world and Kari remarked: “I think they want us to keep revealing their personal life and what happens with them internally, [rather than] just strictly at work. So I think they’re thinking a home setting will help create that.”
On Joan going out into the field this season
That’s right folks, Joan is going to be leaving the confines of the DPD and will in fact be heading out on some missions this season. When asked about the upcoming scenes, Kari said that she felt like she had almost forgotten how to act outdoors when they first started shooting them, having been in the DPD for so long. She said that the scenes have been exciting to shoot and she is happy that the audience will get to see why Joan is in the position that she’s in, adding: “You know, she was really, really good at what she did in the field, and now we get a chance to see it.”
About the specifics of Joan’s mission, Kari could only tell us: “I take on a persona and I get to kick some ass.”
On what it was like filming the recent episode where Joan was on jury duty
Kari said that she enjoyed filming the episode where Joan was taken out of her comfort zone as well as out of her usual position of power. She found it fun to film scenes where Joan was suddenly not at the top of the hierarchy and liked showing a whole new (and hilarious, in my opinion) side of the character.
On what she would like to see for Joan in the future
Apparently getting to film a few scenes outside of the DPD have whetted the actress’ appetite because when asked about what she saw in Joan’s future, Kari said she would love to see Joan get out of the office more. She mentioned that there is a conflict that is going on with Joan that hasn’t actually been revealed to her yet, but she believes that some of it may stem from the fact that Joan’s heart still wants to be in the field. Kari told us that Joan is at her desk position for reasons that haven’t been stated yet, but feels that going into the field will continue to be an essential part of where the future lies for the character.
