“#’Walking Dead’ Star Pollyanna McIntosh on Jadis’ Return & That Rick Grimes Reference<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

[WARNING: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for AMC\u2019s The Walking Dead: World Beyond<\/em> Season 2 Episode 6, \u201cWho Are You?\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n

She\u2019s back!<\/p>\n

After soaring away with a gravely injured Rick (Andrew Lincoln) on a helicopter to destinations unknown, two seasons later, Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) has returned to the TWD-verse in World Beyond <\/em>\u2014 with a new position in CRM, a new friend, a new last name and a new haircut.<\/p>\n

We chatted with McIntosh about how she brought her character to a new corner of the Walking Dead<\/em> world, what\u2019s up with that hairstyle, and \u2014 most importantly \u2014 whether that \u201cvery valuable\u201d something she says she gave CRM was a certain Mr. Grimes.<\/p>\n

How, and when, did you find out Jadis was making a comeback on World Beyond<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pollyanna McIntosh: <\/strong>That\u2019s a good question! [Chief Content Officer] Scott [Gimple] and I were speaking, and it came up only about a week and a half before I headed down to Richmond. It was a pretty close thing because I was supposed to be in Ireland shooting Vikings: Valhalla<\/em><\/a> and our schedule got delayed. Scott heard this and went, \u201cHang on a minute. Maybe we can make this work.\u201d So, it was really great. Great timing.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s interesting because, with the way things are planned in this universe, I figured that had been baked in maybe even from the start of World Beyond<\/em>. But it doesn\u2019t sound that way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, they definitely wanted to go into the CRM world that we\u2019re exploring more and more. I think it was just one of those kismets, that it could happ<\/a>en in this place. What luck and joy for me!<\/p>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

I have to ask about the haircut. When we saw Jadis last on The Walking Dead<\/em>, she\u2019d grown it out \u2014 now she has what fans refer to as the \u201cbowl cut.\u201d What made her cut it like this again? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, as she says, it\u2019s been six years\u2014goodness knows she may have had a few wonderfully awful haircuts during that time. But Jadis is very practical, and she is a really good manipulator. I think she often does things that let people know to be on the back foot, a little bit. To be just a little uncomfortable around her. I think sporting a look like that is one of the ways to do that, you know? I thought it would be fun for the fans [for Jadis] to make an entrance with those very short bangs; shaving the bottom half was a way to make it more extreme, and also to give a little nod to Joan of Arc, who Jadis might feel she was\u2014not doing God\u2019s work, but trying to save the world.<\/p>\n

On The Walking Dead<\/em>, Anne had precious few friends \u2014 was it nice to play her camaraderie with Huck (Annet Mahendru) in this episode?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah! It was really fun. I loved playing connective scenes. They have this history, and that was great fun to work with. We really enjoyed finding those moments to connect that show we have this real history together. It\u2019s the one time I get to take my gloves off, as well. [laughs<\/em>] We have a little rum together. There was a lot of fun in there\u2014they almost float around things, as old friends do. They pick up on each other\u2019s jokes and vibes, and I like that a lot.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

AMC\/YouTube<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To what extent was Jadis\u2019 offer to Huck at the end of the episode genuine? Is she really trying to help her, or is she trying to dig up some dirt?<\/strong><\/p>\n

She\u2019s always doing her job, you know? She\u2019s genuinely thinking of herself. But she also genuinely loves Huck and wants her to be well. She knows her capacity and wants that to be used in the right way, for the right cause, and so that Huck can have a future as well. Jadis wants what\u2019s best, and certainly, in her mind, Huck being on the right side is what\u2019s best. But we also know her to be somebody who is a great manipulator, so she can flip on a dime as to what\u2019s required.<\/p>\n

That leads nicely into one of my other questions \u2014 Jadis says her purpose is to create a \u201cnew era\u201d on the planet. What does that look like, in her head? <\/strong><\/p>\n

We remember Jadis as being an artist and going her own way while holding a position of leadership. Those things are the same for her now. But this is a time when the CRM really seems like the only hope, and the only light in the world, as she sees it\u2014where we could actually get back to humanity with culture, with art, with the same freedoms we used to have. She has seen what they do, and she is very impressed by it. So that is the new era as she sees it; one in which we can have true civilization again.<\/p>\n

The subject of names came up in that scene as well. I noticed that in the episode and the preview for it, Jadis introduces herself as Jadis \u201cStokes,\u201d which is Gabriel\u2019s (Seth Gilliam) last name. Why did she do that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was really fun when she and Gabriel were together on The Walking Dead<\/em> but she was trying to find a way out, and she was trying to involve him and include him, and she just couldn\u2019t get him to go with her. In the end, she could\u2019ve really used him, but she didn\u2019t. I always thought there was love and respect there. But I don\u2019t think it\u2019s done without a sense of irony, though. Jadis is not to be a \u201cwifey,\u201d you know? She also doesn\u2019t want to reveal much of herself, so why not take somebody else\u2019s name? Remember that brief, brief love. [laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

How would she feel about him and Rosita (Christan Serratos), then?<\/strong><\/p>\n

She\u2019s all for people getting what they need, so I think she\u2019d be down with it. But she\u2019d probably have something witty to say about it.<\/p>\n

In this episode, the language Jadis and her people used comes up. That was always a bit polarizing to fans\u2014some were okay with it, some weren\u2019t. Were you happy it was explained?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That was always something I felt was the reason for her to create that language. For me, it was on three levels; to make others uncomfortable with her, so that she had the upper hand; but also to bond the community and give a sense of \u201cthe outsiders\u201d and \u201cus,\u201d; and lastly for speed, because the Scavengers didn\u2019t like to waste anything. Yeah, it was kind of cool for me. I made that stuff up myself, and it made sense\u2014that\u2019s what you do with a character, you try to make sense of everything so it all feels in the body\u2014and then they wrote these wonderful lines. It was like, \u201cYeah, I thought so! Okay, cool.\u201d I thought that was fun for the fans, too, because I do get asked that question a lot. They\u2019re like, \u201cHow could they forget to speak after such a short time?\u201d I\u2019m like, \u201cNo, no, no, that\u2019s not what we\u2019re saying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jadis says she had given CRM something \u201cvery valuable.\u201d Was that a Rick reference?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think we can assume it is, yes. It\u2019s safe to assume so. It is difficult to talk about Rick, as Jadis, and not put a bit of heart in there. She did have a true connection and relationship with him. I quite liked that he was valuable, at least! She did at least say that. That was sort of hint number one; you\u2019ll have to keep watching for more info!<\/p>\n
