Buddy TV’s Gina Scarpa has an exclusive interview with Lucy Hale. Lucy plays the role of Becca, the younger sister of Jaime Sommers. Some people who have seen the pre-aired Pilot episode are rather disappointed to see Lucy in the role, if only because she replaced the rather ‘popular’ Mae Whitman as the sister. This was after Mae was axed during the summer.

Here are a few of the best bits from the interview (Contains mild Pilot episode spoilers):

BTV: Now they revamped your character, can you talk a little bit about the changes that they made to Becca?

Lucy: Becca, yeah, they just wanted her to be a little more typical teenager. They just wanted it to be a little lighter. My character, she’s kind of witty, she kind of brings humor into some situations.
 

BTV: And your character is an up and coming hacker, right? Lucy: Yes, she knows all there is to know about computers.
BTV: Are you actually good with computers in life or is that more something your character does?

Lucy: Ah, I’m alright. I wouldn’t say I’m too bad, but definitely not hacker material.

BTV: The show is full of action. Will we see you doing any stunts or any action scenes?

Lucy: I still don’t even… I really hope so, because I’ve never done a stunt before. As of right now, I don’t do any, unless they’re not telling me anything. Hopefully!

BTV: Leading up to Bionic Woman, had you been trying out for lots of different pilots each year?

Lucy: Oh my gosh, dozens and dozens and dozens. But, this one really stuck out to me, that’s why it was such an honor to be in this, the remake of a hit show.

BTV: Yeah, I was going to say, I mean, there’s got to be people who are partial to the original. What’s different about the revamped version?

Lucy: It’s a lot more modern. Basically the only similarities are the name Jamie Sommers, and her bionic powers – she’s got the hearing, the seeing, the arm, the leg. But how she obtains these powers is different, because she’s not in a parachute accident, that’s how she… I haven’t seen the original but from what I hear, but that’s how she got the powers in the original, but in this one she’s in a car accident. And they added some characters, me, which there wasn’t a sister originally. And it’s a bit different, people who have seen the original will find it a bit different.

BTV: What can we look forward to tonight from your character on the premiere?

Lucy: My character, well, so, Jamie Sommers, her going through the whole Bionic world, and then she comes home to me, which is another problem, because I complain a bit in this episode, I’m a little bit angry. I’m just your average teenager who thinks the world revolves around her, I guess.
