Basically I auditioned for Rescue Me on my fourteenth birthday actually, so now I’m nineteen.  My character is the same age as me, she’s like nineteen, so like I have, my character has grown up.  She’s become a woman, and when we first saw her, you know, five seasons ago, she was this young bratty teenage girl, who was bribing her father for everything, and didn’t really give a crap about anyone but herself.  And she’s still got that Gavin blood in her, she still can be conniving, you know, she’s like her father.  But I think she’s become a woman, she’s got like more mature relationships, I guess she’s more of a likable character now. Because I know in the past most people hated my character.

It’s really nuts, cause I guess there have been characters in years past that have grown up with the show but  I went from fourteen, and when we start filming next, I’m going to be twenty. It’s so weird.  I told my dad this season “Please don’t watch”.  I’m still his little baby so he doesn’t like watching!  When we came for this season, we had had such a long break from our last season because usually it’s thirteen episodes and then the writer’s strike happened, and we finally got back to work a year ago this past April and we were filming for a year straight. So it was a really long time.  So I think when I got back, I think it was kind of weird for everyone, because I think I had grown up a lot, and I went right into doing those scenes (in my bra and panties) and I think it was kind of weird because everyone was like “Oh my god, you’re getting so old!  You’re a woman now”  So I think it was weird for everyone a little bit.
