I was really excited about it. I wanted to know what I was going to be doing. I went through the whole script, and there was nothing. No Janice! I was like, "Did they give me a role and cut me already?" Then I flipped over to the cast list, and I looked for Janice, and there was no Janice. So then I found my name--Andrea Brooks--and I followed the line over and it said, "Eve Teschmacher." I was like, "Teschmacher--wait--Teschmacher. I know this name." It's a weird name.

It didn't really seem too different since we were on the CatCo set. There were these intruder characters, and of course, Eve wouldn't have known who they were. I think it was intended to be kind of this dream-epiphany-weird sequence. And because it's Eve and she's so creative and kind of crazy in her own right, it was kind of appropriate that she was selected to be the target of this madness that was about to erupt. 'Cause any other logical person might have called the cops or done something logical, and of course, she just hides behind the chair and stares at the
