Well, we film it on the site of what used to be a real hospital for 30 years. So many people continue to think it's still functional.
But I was working with such a great group of people. I just felt so safe up there on stage with them. But the first night I was definitely nervous.
Roseanne was incredible to work with. She was extremely bright.
So the first season about halfway through he just sort of put us together and then broke us up all within one episode. One of the ideas is to have us do that once a year - to have everything blow up in our faces and not work out.
I think that as is true in this industry, everything gets blown out of proportion because it's more fun for people to read about. It's even more fun to read about if the stories get wilder and wilder.
I would be sad if it ended now. It's been the best job I've had by a long shot, especially creatively because the writing is so good. Every week I get the script and I laugh out loud and get excited for the different stuff we get to do.
Walking into a show when I was 16, at that time when it was the No. 1 hit show, and replacing a character comes with so many expectations. I felt a lot of pressure with that.
It's never boring - you get to do the crazy fantasy scenes and the second you think you know your character, they throw you a curveball.
The first time I lived in L.A. I was too young. I really wanted to be back home in Vancouver.

I don't think when people sign up for a life of doing something they love to do they should have to sign up for a complete loss of privacy. I understand a little loss of privacy coming with the job.
I love acting, and it was really important to me to give it a real shot.
I think it's because it's so different and it takes risks. Plus, it's really smart humor. It gives the audience credit in terms of not needing to tell them when to laugh. I love that about the show. There's no laugh track.
I'm having the time of my life. I've never looked forward to going to work so much every day. I'm loving it; it's great. It's what I love to do and I wouldn't want to be doing anything else.
