Character Analysis: When Calls The Heart
During season three of When Calls the Heart, I often say I interviewed most of the supporting cast, and Andrea Brooks was one of those gracious individuals who agreed almost the moment I asked her. This season, when I asked her for a second interview, the girl was so busy that we only had the opportunity this past week to finally have a wonderful chat about When Calls the Heart, Supergirl, and more. I invite all Hearties to read this interview because when I say Andrea is exceptionally insightful about this beloved show, I'm not kidding. This interview covers more territory than Hope Valley and Catco combined! Moreover, interviewing the amiable Andrea was just like sitting down and chatting with an old friend.

RH: Andrea, it was such a …show more content…
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. Who switches the name from Janice to Teschmacher? So I googled it, and I was like, 'I know this character! I love Superman! Of course, I remember her." So that's how I found out I had a cooler role than I initially expected.

That's neat. It was so fun to see you in something a little bit different.

Yeah, she was lots of fun to play and very different. Nurse Faith always thinks about her choices, but this role was a little bit more off-the-wall. Two very different characters to play with, but it's been pretty fun. Last fall, I was shooting simultaneously. I would be onthe Supergirl set and then the When Calls the Heart set and back to Supergirl. There were some days that we split and I'd do a night shoot on Supergirl and then go back to When Calls the Heart. So it got a little crazy sometimes.

I pretend to know that I understand it, but there are a lot of levels going on here. Basically, I'm just doing what I'm told. That was really neat, and I didn't find out till close to shooting what I was going to be doing. They keep it kind of secretive, and everything is sort of last-minute. 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

    Character Analysis: Unbroken

    I genuinely did not expect to learn this much from the book Unbroken. The story of Louie Zamperini was unexpectedly much more understandable and relatable than I first imagined. Seeing the main character was a former war hero, I found it surprising I was able to connect to him as I happen to be fourteen. In my opinion, readers can easily compare similar situations in their life, regardless of their age. A point often overlooked, Louie is a true survivor. He was stranded forty-seven days on a crammed raft, as well as beaten without remorse at a prison camp for two years. Louie was stripped of his friends as he watched them either be transferred or slowly die. He witnessed many accounts of sexual abuse to innocent and helpless animals, as well…

    A Heartbreaking Genius Character Analysis

    In A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers, the audience can see how insecure Dave is about having to take the role of a parent for his little brother, Toph. Throughout the book Dave is constantly thinking about how everyone thinks that Dave shouldn’t be taking care of Christopher or he is an unfit parent. Dave wants to give the very best to Toph but most of the time that isn’t possible. For example, when they were looking for houses people were rejecting them saying the two weren’t the best fit or didn’t think they could pay. One landlord who was sceptical was unsure about Dave’s lack of job and their age. Dave responded “We can pay. We have money. We could pay the year’s rent all at once if you want” (76., which made the…

    Character Analysis: The Ones Who Walked Away

    In “The Ones Who Walked Away,” the citizens and residents in this city seem to be happy and enjoy their life in the Omelas. Their life is full of peace and happiness even though they know the real reason for their happiness and the cruelty behind it. In the Omela’s the people know of the existence of a child who is living under terrible circumstances but yet they still go on with their lives as if though nothing is happening. The reason for this is because an unknown character placed terms on the city of Omelas where if they express some sort of compassion to the child suffering, all of their happiness and prosperity will change to the total opposite. In the text it states that, “They (referring to the people of Omelas) would like to do something…

    Rat Pours His Heart Out Character Analysis

    When he had first started, Rat was an emotional and daring guy but soon was able to ease himself into the war environment and demonstrate his competency for his job. Around the time that he’d just joined, his inexperienced made him reckless. On one march into the mountains, the team took a break in the jungles and Rat immediately started playing with Lemon Curt in the shade of the trees.

    Fuddy Meers

    The actress who played Claire portrayed the character well. From the beginning to the end she really captured the characters and her emotions. When she first entered on stage I was confused of what was going as she was walking aimlessly across the stage but later realized that was the whole point. She wanted the audience to believe she was confused and lost; and she did. I notice her break the fourth wall every now and then as she looked into the audience. I suppose it was part of the scrip to interact with the audience because she mostly did it when she was on the side doing random things with the people in tight pants. Her entrances where perfect every time, even though the scenes where being switched off between her and Richard in the car, she never seen to loose focus. You could clearly see every expression on her face which made it more realistic to the audience.…

    Gruesome playground injuries

    The two actors had a decent chemistry, meaning they worked well off of each other but I would have liked to see a better young Kayleen. I got the feeling in the middle of the first scene that if the audience was not told what age they were supposed to be portraying, Doug would have still seemed like an eight year old but I am not quite sure I could say the same for Kayleen because she still gave the vibe of someone somewhat older. Although her eight year old impression did not appeal to me, she made up for it with all the rest. As thirteen year olds in the scene where they throw up in the same trash can, they start working very well together and the comedy of this scene helped engage the audience a bit more. It was about at this point where you see the two begin to really get close.…

    That actually leads me into my next question. I think Faith has had a great arc. Seeing her from where she was when we first met her to now, she has grown so much. I think she is much more confident in herself now, versus that girl who had just left her fiancé and was finding her footing in a new town. She also had an awkward relationship with Elizabeth, but now they're good friends. What's it like for you as an actress to be able to portray that arc and her journey?…
