Being pregnant just really enriched everything for me. I was pregnant during that and it was amazing. And then with the death of Dylan in season two and being pregnant – that’s when I had that big scream, that big grief scream when she died. You’re in hard circumstances as the characters and it just works. Someone mentioned how nasty we get and there’s so much mud in season two, a ton of rain, cold, but all that stuff – it just works. It was an amazing experience working pregnant. Kelly Overton: “It could have been who knows? Did they impregnate her? Is it the next savior or is it the destroyer? Do we kill it? What do we do?Īnyway, but yeah, so I was pregnant but I did do a lot. Who would you have wanted the father to be? I tried so hard! It would be so bad-ass having me with guns and a belly.” Being the star of a strong female-empowered show and being pregnant, I almost wish they would have written it in. I obviously had to use a stunt double for some stuff and they had to get creative with my wardrobe and how they shot. I was able to do a lot of the action and fights. You know, I’ve been physically fit my whole life and so when you become pregnant, you don’t have to stop doing what you normally do. When we started shooting I was five months pregnant and I shot through five, six, and seven.

You missed Comic Con last year and you were pregnant but you shot some scenes from season two. We have to really face our past together.” Yeah, it’s trying to figure out how…I’m trying not to give away spoilers but we do end up together again for a while. What’s it going to be like when she’s reunited with Scarlett? That relationship takes some really interesting turns. But, the show is going in some really cool directions. I would love for her to be reunited with everybody! I’m like, ‘Can’t I go back to the hospital?’ I love the hospital. Kelly Overton: “She’s not reunited with everybody, so I’ll say that. What’s it going to be like for your character when she’s reunited with her crew? And if you like to see women kick ass and you like the genre, then it’s the show for you.” Kelly Overton as Vanessa Van Helsing in ‘Van Helsing’ season 3 episode 1 (Photo by: Dan Power/Nomadic Pictures Inc./SYFY) I just think it’s a really cool kick-ass show. And my character, the main character, is really flawed.

This one in particular I think deals with some…I think it’s different and interesting because it deals with a lot of pain and loss and grief and darkness. There’s a lot of content out there right now of strong female-led shows. Kelly Overton: “I think we’re doing something really cool for the genre that hasn’t been done before that’s worth tuning in and watching. What do you want people who haven’t caught on to Van Helsing to know about the series? It’s a genre show and she’s written so dark. She’s written pretty dark, you know? That being said, I’ve always tried to bring the humanity to her because it is a very dark show. Not that she was a light character in the first place. So, I always wondered how much I would start to dabble and where they would take me with that.” Like season one, it was like no one wants to go through all that makeup, right? And then everybody who’s actually done it says it was so worth it and amazing to be able to play that kind of character. I thought, ‘Where can they take my character?’ I think everybody fears being a vampire at some point.

She starts really struggling with the transformation inside with the blood lust.”ĭid you know all along that this was going to be the end game, that your character would have that transformation? And for my character in particular, yeah, things get dark. We introduce vampires that my character especially gets to interact with, more with the vampires than with the humans, which was very interesting. There’s so much to explore going darker and darker, not just as the show in general, but when we kind of delve more into different kinds of vampires. How do think the tone compares to the previous two seasons? Is it going to get darker? What will that mean for season three? Van Helsing star Kelly Overton discussed what’s in store for the new season while at the San Diego Comic Con. When Vanessa is revived by an elder, she wakes and her eyes glow crimson. Season two revealed the blood of “the first” flows through Vanessa and her sister Scarlett’s veins. Van Helsing stars Kelly Overton as Vanessa Van Helsing, a descendant of the vampire slayer and the one person who may be able to stop the vampires from completely annihilating all humans. Syfy’s popular reimagining of the Van Helsing legend returns for its third season on Sunday, Octoat 10pm.
