'Grimm' Season 5 Spoilers: Cast member Bitsie Tulloch talks new character Eve, Juliette’s 'doppelganger' in second-half episodes
“Grimm” Season 5 will return in January 2016 with a familiar face gracing the television screens but as a different character. Actress Bitsie Tulloch gives the “Grimm” fans a preview of what to expect with her new badass character Eve in the second-half episodes of NBC’s supernatural drama series.
Spoiler Alert: This feature contains major “Grimm” Season 5 spoilers.
In an interview with TVLine, Tulloch has explained that “Grimm” character Juliette Silverton’s flesh, blood and DNA is still alive in Eve, the new character that showed up in the fall finale episode titled “Wesen Nacht.” However, the 34-year-old actress wants to be clear that Eve is not really Juliette because her new character in “Grimm” Season 5 is a badass weapon and almost robotic.
“It’s not so much that she’s ruthless, it’s that she’s very calculated and all she’s focused on is getting the job done,” Tulloch shared.
Tulloch further added that Hadrian’s Wall member Martin Meisner (Damien Puckler) has played a significant part in training Eve and getting her ready for the job. Off-screen, Tulloch recounted that a trainer also helped her work out and get into a fighting shape for five or six days a week in order to nail her on-screen performance as a new badass character.
As for her new look in “Grimm” Season 5, Tulloch explained that Eve dons skintight leather and a wig because she cannot run into someone who knows Juliette, while out on a mission. Meanwhile, Tulloch teased that an upcoming episode of “Grimm” Season 5 will have a pretty critical scene between Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) and Eve where they sit down and try to talk about what is really going on.
For the “Grimm” fans who are paying attention to the Nick-Adalind relationship, series creator David Greenwalt revealed in a separate interview with TVLine that the relationship between Nick and Adalind Schade (Claire Coffee) will have a life of its own without the Eve/Juliette aspect because of their child. However, co-creator Jim Kouf teased that there are other complicated things going on that will establish how the Nick-Adalind relationship works out.
“Grimm” Season 5 is scheduled to return with episode 7 titled “Eve of Destruction” on Jan. 29, 2016. The brand new episode will air at 9/8c on NBC.
