[00:00:00] My name is Anna Silk. For six seasons I played Beau on the hit TV series Lost Girl. And my name is Rachel Scarston and for three seasons I played Tansen. Welcome to The Lost Girl Rewatch Podcast, a show where we will look at all the episodes,
[00:00:28] share some behind-the-scenes stories, and chat with some very special guests. Now on the show our relationship was sometimes rocky, but in life our friendship is rock solid. We are so glad that you are here to join us for this trip down memory lane.
[00:00:44] We love that the family is back together again. Hello everybody! Welcome back to episode three of The Lost Girl Rewatch Podcast. Today we're going to be covering episodes five and six of the show. And we have a great show planned for you.
[00:01:05] Starting with our first of two guests, Mr. Chris Holden-Reeds. Yay! Welcome Chris Holden-Reed. Thanks for having me back. Chris and I did not plan our outfits. Yeah, for those of you watching they are matching models in their turtleneck sweaters. Yeah, I just don't have a plan.
[00:01:32] I wish I had glasses. You know that I used to buy glasses with only glass in them? I am not surprised. But I bet you could rock a good glasses. I know, but I really think I can rock glasses, but I just don't need them yet.
[00:01:47] So Rachel and I right now- I wear bifocals. Me too. They're not bifocals anymore. They're called progressives. Okay, so they're progressive. Okay, well I wear progressives then. I wear progressives. I'm constantly like moving my head around. I'm even worse because you're progressing into old age.
[00:02:03] You might as well just call them old people, specs. Old people specs. That's it. Yes, it's true. It's true. All right, so we are going to start by talking about episodes. Yes, we're talking about episodes five and six. Episode five, which I'm super excited to talk about.
[00:02:24] Brother Fay of the Wolves. It was written by Alexandra Zironi and directed by Clark Johnson, which I had forgotten that, but yes it was. And then episodes six, which is called It's Better to Burn Out Than Fay Away, written by Steve Cochran, directed by Gail Harvey,
[00:02:42] but Mr. Holden Reed, episode five, Brother Fay of the Wolves was Dyson's big backstory episode. It was epic. Your hair was epic. Your horse riding. Your accent. Yeah, tell us, give us the testosterone juice that this episode brought. Give us some stuff on this. It was so hilarious.
[00:03:04] How did you feel watching it? Because it is the testosterone like water fights. It's like, no more testosterone for you. That's objective. Wet t-shirt moment with me in the alley when you're like spraying me down. I don't know.
[00:03:21] How did they find a cotton shirt that was so sheer that my nipples show through it when you hit me with that? Well, it wasn't an accident. I'll tell you that. Good job, Andy. I watched it. I was a little embarrassed for myself.
[00:03:35] I was like, oh God, oh God, Chris, what did you catch us up into again? But I got to say my abs looked great. It made me really want to get those guys back. So no more of my potato chips. One of my two heated, you say away.
[00:03:55] As of right now, you heard it here first. Yeah, Chris is, yeah. No, no, no. I really want to get ripped again. What was the Dyson regime like? Actually the regimen. What was the? The starvation. It was really high protein and starvation.
[00:04:17] I remember you having a lot of high protein. I do remember that like eating sort of raw bits and pieces. I get home from set and I had a freezing full of raw sushi grade fish. I would just chop it up frozen.
[00:04:29] Yeah, and they would fall while I was taking my shower, washing off the day. And I would just eat raw fish or cheese or meat and nuts. The odd apple. What about workouts? What kind of workout you were working out a ton?
[00:04:45] I was looking into condo at that time. So it was gym downstairs and I would just go down and lift some weights and do, I've never been like a pump, pump, pump it up because I just can't get big, big. So I just do like body weight stuff.
[00:04:59] And I was going for the Brad Pitt in a fight club kind of body, you know? That's how I was. Well, I think you, you achieved it. Yeah. Wow. Close. This was, this is the side of Dyson that we had not seen
[00:05:14] before because at this point, you know, we know Dyson, we love Dyson, but to go back and see that like really hyped up extra masculine Dyson was really cool. Yeah, it was interesting. Like I liked the period piece stuff. I thought that was great.
[00:05:30] Some of the modern stuff, like the wrestling in the alleyway or like, you know, even cause Senni, Kenzie, that one scene is like as long as they don't start sniffing each other's butts, you know, like cause we're like, howling at each other
[00:05:45] and like all this like ultra male stuff. And it just, it made me kind of uncomfortable to watch it again. It's like, it's a little over the top masculinity. Like with your heads together in the bar and all that stuff.
[00:05:59] No, but I don't think it was over the top. I think it was exactly right. Because that was the kind of, I mean, the other pieces, remember that the actor that Kaden who was played by Graham Abbey, had you worked with him before? No, but I knew him.
[00:06:16] He was a very prominent theater actor. And so he brought that theater sort of largeness, you know. Yes. Which was and he brought that sense of history for you guys. And so that it made sense to me that you guys, he was also manipulating you.
[00:06:32] I mean, story wise he was manipulating you. So like for him to bring that extra was and to kind of hype Dyson up, I thought it was really, it was like honestly, he did such a great job that I was,
[00:06:44] he carried me into that sort of over masculinity, which was fun. But when we got to the period piece stuff, it wasn't, it was actually quite grounded. And like, and that's where the Norn was back in, you know. I know I wrote that down because I had forgotten
[00:07:01] that I saw the Norn way back in yesterday year. Well, and they, because they used her from first season, right? Like we'd had, but this was like the backstory of how Dyson knew the Norn and that he wouldn't sacrifice his wolf for his best friend.
[00:07:14] But so it played nicely. Like this is the writing of someone's season two is really great. How they sort of touched base with season one and brought points forward, you know, but that he would sacrifice for Beau in the end of season one, right?
[00:07:30] It sort of, it raised the stakes for what he had lost with Beau. And at the same time, then introducing this amazing character of Kiara played by Lena Rosler who, you know, who we will be meeting at some point. I hope.
[00:07:49] And she was such a great, she's also such a good actress and had such a unique look and, and gravitas of her own. Like she grounded that character instantly. Like it was, yeah, it was interesting watching because I forgot how nice that last that little bit like that,
[00:08:14] although those, like, I think we only had like four scenes in the flashback. But yeah, I also loved it. Like writing wise and story wise that she wasn't your ex-girlfriend. No, no, like when she comes into the story, this was like a deep love that was unrequited.
[00:08:30] Like that's what made it stronger, right? It's very smart, very smart writing in this episode. Yeah, those writers know what they're doing. Go figure. Go figure. We think it's all us. It really isn't. Absolutely not us guys. Absolutely not us.
[00:08:52] Yeah, but it was a real treat to watch it over again. And like, yeah, and it put me back in that mind frame of that time of what we were all going through in our lives. Like this was also we were just kind of getting the inkling
[00:09:08] is that it was going to be a bit of a hit. And you know, the show started feeling bigger and like, you know, just saving your baby. No, saving the bug. There was like this little, there's these little needles that fly in
[00:09:24] and there's spiders that look around the one I'm just dying. I hear you. Yeah, I hear you. You have a ton of karma coming your way, babe. You played that really well. I want you to know that. She's just kept talking. I have a spider catcher.
[00:09:45] No, I don't want to catch like they can live there. I don't know. No, they can live there. I have a spider catcher catch and release. Hmm. I know, but it's cool out there. Like, you know, I'm going to deny them shelter in the week
[00:09:59] or an apartment and different level of compassion with me. We I live on a farm now and like we have we have a lot of bugs and bugs come in and when they come in, they don't get that kind of treatment. They don't get out.
[00:10:15] Yeah, it's the tissue with the toilet treatment. It's yeah. Well, there's enough of them that if I just put them outside, they'd just come back in. That's true. Different velocities. Yeah, this was when we were sort of discovering that
[00:10:31] or starting to realize that we had a bit of a hit on our hands with Lost Girl like the beginning in the middle of season two, right? Because then that's when they extended season two to a full 22 or whatever we did.
[00:10:43] I mean, at this point were you guys on sci-fi yet or you were just on? I don't think so. I don't think we were. I think it got sold to sci-fi in season two and two or maybe three. Yeah. It was later. I can't remember.
[00:10:58] I just know we've got a bigger order for this season somewhere in the middle. Yeah. Probably around this time, like probably around five, six or something like that, right? Well, you were leaping through the woods. I did injure myself though in this episode. This is where this episode...
[00:11:14] I know, Chris. I know this and I didn't want to bring it up, but you're bringing it up. So it was painful for me to watch this because of that because I know exactly what happened and I know exactly when it happened. Yeah. And it was awful.
[00:11:28] It was actually in that alleyway fight which we shot at the end. That was the last day, I think. And I had that big guy on my back and I kept doing... We had to keep doing the same action over again,
[00:11:41] which is he's running me out of wall and I have to catch us both with one foot and shove us back and just keep going. And I got a double disc herniation from that. Yeah. So I had one episode off and thank God I had
[00:11:58] that fucking episode off because I was immediately trying to get it taken care of. But when I came back for seven and eight, remember I couldn't even walk barely. It was awful. You were so stiff, you couldn't move and you were so sad because of course you were.
[00:12:17] You can't use your body. It was like I was crawling into the bathroom sort of situation. I could only take tiny little steps, like I could barely even stand straight. And remember I was laying down on any surface I could in between every shot.
[00:12:34] And you had to be heavily doubled. You had to be doubled for even things that were really... Just like crossing a room at a fucking... Yeah, like a full stride walk or anything you had to be doubled for and you were very upset about that too.
[00:12:48] I remember I was very worried about you but I remember the force at which you decided to... You were like, I'm getting better. How many episodes was it until you didn't have to be doubled for things like that? Because that's a serious injury. Yeah, it's a serious injury.
[00:13:09] It took me about eight weeks to be able to be semi-functioning where I could do like pilates and stuff. So it was a good four episodes. Yeah, no, it was shitty. Like that was... I was... Because as I was watching it I was like,
[00:13:30] oh this was the best time of my life. I was like, I love this time. And then I was like, oh but then that happened. That was a shitty time. It was really... You know what came out of that actually?
[00:13:42] Because I'd been such an athlete as a young man and I just took my body for granted. Like I was always using big muscle groups. I was like, I can do anything. And I didn't really realize that I actually didn't have a great core, like deep core,
[00:13:56] like Pilates core. You know, I was just using big muscles to sort of overcompensate. And so when that happened it forced me to start from scratch, like crawling, going to Pilates, getting a one-on-one Pilates instructor that I was meeting at two, three times a week.
[00:14:12] And it started with me basically doing kegels because that's all I could do. And that's where I learned about like that's where the base of core starts for all of our physiologes, like men and women. And it's like I was just like tilting my hips for two weeks.
[00:14:26] That's all I could do. And then eventually I could like raise my hips a little off the ground. And then I was able to like get them higher and kind of do like plow or whatever they call that and yoga. You know, and then have a ball,
[00:14:37] you know, and then slowly building and building and building. And also rebuilding the entire neurological connection of how I did things as a man. Like as a man, you know, you pick something up, you go like off you sort of exhale, push everything out, right?
[00:14:55] You've heard men do that. Yeah. That's shit. We've heard that sound. Yeah, we've all heard that sound. So it taught me that actually you should never hold your breath. You actually have to come from deep down in your kegels, hold yourself there.
[00:15:10] And like the breath should always be fluid. And it's like, and like it re taught me how to use my body that I take it for granted to the point now where I never have back pain anymore. Like, No, and you were so dedicated to it.
[00:15:25] Like Rachel, he would go, he'd leave set and go to Pilates and leave set and go to PT like all the things that you were so dedicated to it. I threw everything at it. I was like, the money was just flying out the windows.
[00:15:37] Like I would go like acupuncture in the morning massage in the afternoon, Cairo after that. And then I do Pilates like the next morning. I was doing like three, three things a day for it. Yeah. Well, I mean, because you have Paul Amos on
[00:15:54] so that he can rip on you for it. I think he's in the waiting room. Okay. I have got to take a picture of what Paul has named himself in the waiting room. So we can put this in social media. It's a your moose or whatever.
[00:16:15] What the hell would you call it? The best actor on the show by far. Let's introduce the best actor in the show by far. Mr. Paul Amos who's joining us. Where's your where's your lander diploma? Yes. Who needs a lander diploma when you're reading real cameras?
[00:16:56] Yes, just specifically for you, Chris, because I started reading German. And then the pig made a big deal. Oh my God. This is trouble. This is trouble. And I mean, we turn it down. Yeah, we don't want to play the right. The best actor on the show ever.
[00:17:26] This is so happily named Paul. That's my best. Is this Valentine's Day? I hope that shows up. Yeah. It is Valentine's Day coming up. So, Paul, I don't know if you remember episode six that you and Emmanuel are in, but you were very naked in that episode.
[00:17:45] There's a lot of you, a lot of your bod, a lot of S&M bondage play. Does this ring a bell? Yeah. I mean, if Rachel had given me a heads up, I probably would have gone like this. If Rachel had given me a heads up,
[00:17:58] I probably would have gone like this. Full bra. I would have gone full bra and real key. Yeah. I would have gone maybe four minutes ago. I was like, can you come on? Yeah. Classic Rachel. Yeah. Hey, Chris too. I don't know.
[00:18:20] We're just in the middle of a million. Yeah, I'm not a producer on this show. Don't throw me under them. I've been under enough buzzes. Nice to see you. Thank you very much. No, but 206. Now was that the one where you got to control Emmanuel
[00:18:38] and she did the dance? Yeah. No, it wasn't. It was what, okay. So, oh my gosh, I've watched so many episodes. This is the one where... This is the straight, this is in the alleyway. Where I can, I... Yes, yes. Is it this episode here?
[00:18:58] Um, I can't see. But actually... Yes. Yeah, that's the one. That was the first time I had to near. That's when I started, you know, I mean, I felt like a prostitute on the show sometimes. But, you know, that's when I really,
[00:19:18] I grew into that because the smell of burning hair is like quite something. Yeah. Chemically burning hair. Yeah, but yeah. Special smell. You have that smooth. Disconcerting me so for my wife. But, you know, it just dates because you're used to this
[00:19:36] hairy guy and then all of a sudden he's very smooth. He's very smooth. I'm going to close my door because my dog is barking. Hang on. Yeah, there's nothing. This is a super professional podcast here. Hey, this is Lost Girl, man. This is what they love. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:19:55] Yeah, the lead just vanished. It's fine. She's gone to go have a baby. She'll be right back. Me? Yeah. Chris, he's probably just going to go out and take a shit soon anyway. So... Okay, now we're going to... Hey, we know it's going to fare well.
[00:20:11] Only in the morning. I'm like a well-timed clock. It's wonderful for you, man. It's just about you and actually we used to live so close together. There's not many people I know that drink their smoothies out of the blender. Yeah. I just did this morning too.
[00:20:27] Do you drink this when you're out of the blender? Yeah. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. You're out of the blender? Yes, he is. This morning I did a half and half because the blender bottom is
[00:20:44] getting a little cruddy now so I poured it into a mason or embastered. I'm getting a little more sophisticated. Why do you have to half and half then you're just dirtying boat? I know. That was always my philosophy.
[00:20:55] So why wouldn't I just drink it out of the blender? I eat my dinner out of my pot. I don't know. And you might have raw eggs. I don't plate my food. Do you guys plate your food? Well, it's you do. I do. Of course, Anna! I do.
[00:21:09] I do. Except lately I want to do that thing where everyone gets a cutting board to eat off of except this vision of me like slicing things and putting it on cutting boards. Where did you get that vision from? Probably Instagram. I had so many in 2015, everybody.
[00:21:26] Oh, oh. Okay, let's bring it back. Let's bring it back. Okay. So, yes, Vex was very naked. You're right. It was the alleyway episode, which I feel like, okay, so it starts with a graffiti artist in the alley and he shoots
[00:21:49] the old man and you see blood splatter all over that wall. I feel like it was the most violent moment in Lost Girl because we never saw, we saw violence, but it was just really like gunshot close range blood splatter. I don't know.
[00:22:04] There was the quality of some writing was pretty violent. Yeah. No, what was violent? Yeah, was it? It just, I just remember being like struck by how violent that was in rewatching it. It was an episode, wasn't it?
[00:22:18] It was like somebody, the old man got killed and then we thought it was D'Shane who was the actor who played the... How do you remember this? I literally just watched it and I'm struggling. You didn't remember it. I know. You don't know this about him? It's unbelievable.
[00:22:34] I don't. You'll remember like such obscure random things. I remember you were in the alley and Kenzie has to put a sword between your legs. Yeah, and the one that was actually in the outtakes as well because... I think that's why I remember it so well.
[00:22:51] Very close to my ne'er part. Yeah. Oh, you neared all the way out. Yeah. Oh, you neared all the way out. Why not? You neared. I see what it feels like for once. I would have been a little bit cautious about the chemical
[00:23:11] burn on the bowl back then. But hey, how'd that go? You see how he was wearing it? He was looking really good. That was the hardest... That outfit by then because I think I was starting to eat a little bit more in life and get a bit older.
[00:23:29] It was harder to get in that in season two. The four seasons ago, yeah, it was tough. I had some good... Well, I didn't come up with but in collaboration with Wardrobe, we had both cinched and tucked and all that stuff so I had some freedom.
[00:23:49] But what was he going to do or like Chris when they're actually just naked? I never stood there naked. You know what I mean? If I was not wearing clothes, I was in a love scene. So there was a degree of choreography and cover
[00:24:06] and great lighting and all of this kind of stuff. And then if any flesh I showed was very purposeful and cinched and tucked and pushed. So I felt very lucky. I feel for you guys is what I'm saying. I feel for you guys.
[00:24:22] Yeah, it's kind of the end of every other production. Like the guys were getting in these positions of being like fully nude. Yeah, yeah. Before you came on, we were discussing 205, which was the brother of the wolf, the flashback one. Oh, yeah. Where I was...
[00:24:40] It was Chris's big flashback episode. And I had my wet shirt moment with Graham. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. So I was not as naked as you, but I got the wet T-shirt treatment in the previous episode. I was that guy. Yeah.
[00:24:57] You've got your full Mel Gibson denial in our episodes. I did. I actually... I definitely pulled from Mel Gibson mixed with a bit of a trans spotting accent. Freedom! Yeah. I remember that. It is. That was a hair extension. Rachel, were you ever nude on the show?
[00:25:15] No, I just wore a bow. Don't you remember that bow? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And actually, I think it was a con that Chris and Holly guys were... Remember that guy? That guy? Yeah. He was wearing just a bow. I love it.
[00:25:33] That was one of the best cause plays I've ever seen. I think that just came out... What? No, it's just like, you know how the iPhone photos are always on our screensavers and computers? Sometimes that photo comes up and I'm like, ah! Yeah. You look great.
[00:25:54] You don't look that awkward. Paul, do you have any specific... Cause we're now into season two. Do you have any season two thought? He was very progressive as a character. He was. He was. I didn't realize quite how progressive he was in terms of... Like his trajectory.
[00:26:16] They were all worth it. I mean, they were all so far ahead of their time. And you know, it was, I think in season two that you started to get that a bit more about them and they started... That got layered a lot more into the show.
[00:26:29] You know, it was good. It was great. I love those characters. Yeah. We were saying how like a lot of season two, there's a lot of callbacks to season one. The writing got very... A little bit more nuanced and there was a lot of stories
[00:26:42] weaving together from the past and the present. And it's really cool to rewatch it. Yeah, with the 22X, you know, there was only like four of them. There was... Yeah, then you get to do that, right? You get to... Yeah. That kind of stuff. Cause you've got this...
[00:26:59] I guess you better do that. Yeah, you've got it. You gotta... Yeah. And everything's so tight these days. So you imagine what it must be like for writers. On that show, it must be freedom. You know, just... Yeah. Because we didn't start knowing we were doing 22.
[00:27:14] It was 13 and then we got a back nine order, which meant people had to really scramble to tell these stories. But they did it. Yeah. They did it. Yeah. I can't believe you were only in four episodes. Me too. That's amazing.
[00:27:29] Yeah, I was in like one of the episodes up front. And then as the writing got more nuanced and the characters got more nuanced, you know, and Vex came into his own, I feel season two came into him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:27:43] Yeah, so I guess it was more season three, four, because I felt like you were on the show all the time. But I guess that was really the last couple of seasons then. It's just the effect I had, Chris.
[00:27:56] When you were the best actor on the show by far, it's... Yeah. More episodes of the same policy as 22 for the rest of the show. But by a long shot. Right. Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. I think some of the other people did a pretty good job on
[00:28:16] that show of being good at acting. There were some amazing episodes where people just got to run through the range of what they were capable of. That was awesome. Yeah. I think that's what we went for. By season two, I think everyone was finding their
[00:28:31] range of it with the characters and their ability to actually act on camera, because everyone was getting an opportunity to do it a lot. A lot. Yeah. Oh, yes. I feel like there's more nuance in people's performances. And maybe it was in the writing too. I don't know.
[00:28:50] But watching it... Like watching the beginning of season one, it was really hard for me last year. But I mean, I can see things in it that are just from my own perspective. I can see things that had a lot of value in it, but
[00:29:05] it still makes me cringe. But watching season two, we really hit the ground running, I feel like. And there was no ramping up into anything. Even on camera. You don't see it on screen. We hit the ground running and there's just more nuance and subtlety, more fun.
[00:29:23] Like we had more fun even in those darker moments. It was less linear in terms of storytelling. It was a unique show. But it wasn't like it was a procedural. It was a little bit in the background. But storylines were so kind of out there and epic
[00:29:42] and everybody got to play. And you don't often do that on a show. Even if it's been running for 10 years, you can still keep it in a very narrow field in terms of what you do as an actor. That show was all over the shop.
[00:29:55] Like, you know, you could have a Lispy Spanish accent one moment. And, you know, actually doing a very serious scene the next, you know. Well, this was the season of the famous Body Swap episode. Yes. So I mean, that's, you were not in it? I wasn't.
[00:30:14] Well, I mean, obviously. Well, you weren't. Sometimes you have to let it go. I love that. Yeah. Sometimes you have to let it go. Oh, that's right. Lena was in it though. Lena and KC. Yep. You and Michael Cram. Michael Cram, that's right. You and Ksenia. And Zoe.
[00:30:36] No, Zoe and like another guest star. And the Reiner. Yeah. The Reiner coming on and having to body swap. Well, that's what Michael Cram had to play Bo. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. That's insane. Hey, why? Body swap. I'm leaving. Did you try to sing that breakdown?
[00:30:54] You'd be like, what? What? You're like, I'm not going to play the lead. I'm not going to play the lead. I'm not going to play the lead. I'm not going to play the lead as the lead in my body. Oh, like you better start watching the show.
[00:31:08] I mean, I had it easier in terms of like no one had seen him before. So yes, I watched him and I, but. She was whatever I was going to do, frankly. But it was that was a fun episode.
[00:31:22] But yeah, it was the season where I feel like we got a lot of good feedback from the audience. I mean, we had something special. Fans were responding. They loved the show. They loved the silliness of it. They loved the case of the week part of it.
[00:31:36] And they loved obviously the relationships of it. So I feel like in season two, we just got to kind of like skip along and play. And I feel like that was the season that we were all over the subway in Toronto. The posters were everywhere. Oh yeah.
[00:31:49] I remember that. There was the one season where there was a poster of me, she needs sex to survive. Wow. That's great. That's great. But anyway. Yeah, yeah. It would be nice. Yeah. Where would that one? We should have capped out on it. That's like her. I know.
[00:32:12] I know. I'm sure I have a photo of it on my old flip phone somewhere. I remember that was so much fun off screen as well at that point in time. Yeah. I remember the build up episode for this body swap as well.
[00:32:23] It was like, it was like you were in school and there was like, you know, we're all playing on a play because I remember you were all practicing. You were all spending time in each other's houses trying to like copy each other.
[00:32:33] It was like, it was like really fun. Like not many shows do that where you're nasty. You've got that camaraderie and then you bring it to life on the screen. There was just like less pressure in season two for some reason.
[00:32:48] There was just like the day to day pressures of time pressure and, you know, all that stuff. But there was just like less, we just had fun. Or like having a child while you're doing a show, you know. Yeah. That came along a little bit later for me.
[00:33:03] I thought, you know, between seasons I'd, I thought it was pretty unique too. Not many people were like having children and still holding up the show as a lead. No, I know. That was a time. That was a time.
[00:33:19] He was five weeks old when I was back on set. Oh my gosh. I remember that. Five weeks old, which was insane. Wow. And you are a fucking trooper. Now that we've all gone through having kids like... But I hadn't had a kid at that point.
[00:33:36] You guys have had kids. No. But to me I was like five weeks old. She's gonna be fine. She's gonna be fine. Yeah. It's just like, I had a kid in my 30s. And then we had to go to the movies. Yeah.
[00:33:50] I was like, guys, it was so much fun. I had to do it, you know, but I had to take a lot of time off. I had to do it. I had to get myself to the movies. You know, I got a lot of stuff done,
[00:33:59] and I had to do it. I had to do it. I had to do it. I had to do it. And I was like, I'm gonna hit like a hundred pieces of it. I was like, Oh my gosh. I had to do it again.
[00:34:09] I'm not sure if I had to do it again. And then remember I got the bigger trailer by then. I got a bigger trailer. So I'm gonna bring you the baby in here. I need a big trailer. So yeah, no, but it's so, it's just been...
[00:34:23] I was like, it's the only reason she had the child. She just... Yeah, he wasn't even mine. I just brought this baby. I was like, I'll eat a lot of cheese between seasons and I'll just bring this baby. Yeah, exactly. I need the bigger trailer.
[00:34:42] I miss you guys. Yeah. That's the real deal. The four of us have been on together. Really just coming out. I know. Do we wanna say anything else about episodes five and six? Chris, I mean, Chris, we have to emphasize how incredible you were in that episode.
[00:35:02] And I know how meaningful it was for you. It was a great... It was honestly the most fun that Dyson got to have on that show. Except for the little 209s and the Alice in Wonderland, that kind of stuff. But Dyson was often a bit of a...
[00:35:20] A bit of a crumbage in the middle. He's always kind of suffering through it. And in these rare ones, it was like we got to really blow it up and have some fun. Yeah, it was like... Physical Chris too, right? It is physical. It is physical.
[00:35:34] I did a crime. That's what we talked about, how much testosterone was just radiating from the screen. From his moment in the very last scene, I blew my back out. I totally said... I'm going to blow it up. The hair was catching the sweat.
[00:35:54] And the pheromones were pure. Sweaty and dead lines. With the Scottish accent, hadn't showered in a century. This palpable onset. And it was former Dyson. With his unneeded lines for six weeks. I know they had hair extensions here and down there. It was just like... Just saying.
[00:36:28] For the European cut of the show. Red locks. But yeah, it was a great one. And a lot of fun to do. I mean, a lot of fun to check out again. So thanks for coming along and rewatch with us. Yes.
[00:36:45] Thank you very much to Chris and to Paul for joining us. We really appreciate it. And I know fans always love to hear from you guys. So we will see you guys on the next one. Hi everybody. It's time for some voicemails.
[00:37:04] And if you are joining me, if you are visually seeing me, you will see that it is morning where I am. I am still in my bathrobe. I am drinking my coffee out of the I heart my mom mug that was given to me by my youngest.
[00:37:20] So good morning. If it's morning where you are. You'll also hear a lot of hammering because there's a lot of construction around me. But welcome. Welcome to my space. And I'm happy to be here with you. So I love getting these voicemails.
[00:37:38] This first one is from someone named Zoe. It is not Zoe Palmer. I don't think it's Zoe Palmer. Even though Zoe has a lot of questions, she's an inquisitive gal, which I love. But this first voicemail is from Zoe. So let's hear what she has to say. Hi.
[00:38:02] I've just rediscovered the show very recently. I've been going through a rough patch and this show is so comforting. And I'm just having a really great time rewatching it. I love both Hamzinn and Lauren so much. And so thank you for the show.
[00:38:21] My question is that if you can revisit this show again, for example, like a reboot or, you know, a new season or go back in time and redo this all over again.
[00:38:34] Is there something that you would like to do more of, for example, like working with somebody more? Or is there something that you would like to change about the show? Thank you. Okay, Zoe. Thank you for that great question.
[00:38:53] I'm sorry you're going through a rough patch and I'm glad that you're rediscovering the show and that you say that it's been bringing you some comfort. So that's really nice to hear. I wish you well. Is there something... Okay.
[00:39:09] I mean, I think a reboot of Lost Girl is a no-brainer. I think there's so much to mine story-wise still from the Fey world and from these characters. I think we could see them where they are now, meet them where they're at
[00:39:22] and certainly have more stories to tell. So that would be interesting. What would I want to see if we did that? I think that... I mean, I can only speak for myself. I'd want to see Bo kind of really step into her Fey power in a new place
[00:39:38] and have a new stature in the Fey world. I think she was so powerful without realizing it and sort of came into that power by the end of the series.
[00:39:47] But it'd be nice to see her take sort of more of a matriarchal look down at the Fey world and be able to really hone in on that power and sort of pass down what she knows. I think that would be amazing.
[00:40:00] If I could go back, what would I change? Mostly nothing. Almost nothing I would change because the whole experience was so incredible. But for myself, I would worry way less because I spent too much time too concerned about so many different variables.
[00:40:21] And looking back now, certainly doing this rewatch, I can see that I was probably a little too hard on myself when I really didn't need to be. So that's what I would change. But I love this question, Zoe, and thank you so much for asking it.
[00:40:36] Okay. Another voicemail. Let's have a listen. I'm not actually sure who this is from, but let's take a listen together. What? A start over button? Yes. Third time's a charm. So what stresses you out the most when shooting a scene? What the wardrobe department gave you to wear?
[00:41:02] Which I would personally like to say, God bless them. Ha ha ladies. The sexy scenes or the crying scenes? Thanks a lot. Have an awesome day. Okay. I think I know who this is from. Amy, I think that's you. I could be wrong.
[00:41:22] So forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think that's you, Amy. What stresses me out the most? I love this question. I mean, what the wardrobe department? No, I loved what I wore as Bo. I loved the Bo silhouette. It made sense.
[00:41:36] It was heightened. It was hyper sexy. It was comic book inspired. And I had room to like move around. It was not skin tight around my belly and around my, it just was nice. I never had wardrobe complaints.
[00:41:53] There's certainly things I liked better than others, but no complaints. Sex scenes, love scenes are always weird. They're just weird, but luckily I got to do most of them with Zoe and or Chris.
[00:42:05] So the ones that were weird were the people that came on and I met them five minutes before in the makeup trailer. And then suddenly we're having a love scene. Those were always awkward. So, but did they stress me out?
[00:42:16] I mean, yes, but it was part of the job and part of the character and part of the storytelling, frankly. And what was the last one? I forget what you said. Oh gosh, wardrobe sex scenes.
[00:42:28] Look, I've forgotten the question already, but I will tell you what stressed me out the most while filming was always time, time pressure. There's no show that you can ever be on where everyone goes, wow, we've got so much time today. You're always fighting the clock.
[00:42:46] And so the ability to do it between action and cut whenever that might be in your day is the skill you develop as an actor. And certainly when you need to be the lead of a one hour action drama. And so that was the pressure was time pressure.
[00:43:08] But otherwise, I don't know if you can hear this construction guys, it's pretty epic. This will not be true of the whole podcast. Amy, thank you for your questions. Zoe, thank you for your question. Thank you for all these questions guys. I really, really love them.
