In the first series when Lex was going to rape Zandra and I had to come and intervene. That was really hard for all of us.

What is your favourite episode so far?
When the tribe circus entered the mall and we had to defend ourselves. We had a lot of stunt scenes to do that week and it was really fun working with all the stunt men from Xena. It was really good doing something different.

Not really, we can make suggestions but its up to the director whether or not he agrees.
