She also talks about how her time on ‘The 100’ changed her life and her love of sci-fi fandom.
The NBC series Quantum Leap tackles time travel, various decades, different locations, all-new guest casts, and it does so on a weekly basis. With a three-year time jump in Season 2, further complications have arisen for Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) and his ultimate goal of returning to a life without leaping. Originally, he just wanted to get back to the love of his life, fiancé Addison (Caitlin Bassett), but losing track of him through time led to her eventually moving on with someone new, and now Ben has found his own connection with Hannah Carson (Eliza Taylor), a woman he keeps crossing paths with in some of his leaps and for whom he’s developed feelings.
Through it all, the fact that Ben keeps leaping means that he can’t really stop to process everything that’s happened or how to handle a budding new romance when he has no idea when throughout time, if ever, he might cross paths with Hannah again. And for Hannah, who has had to quickly adapt to everything Ben throws at her, it’s totally unexplored territory to have a relationship with someone who she’s never even seen the real face of, as he leaps into different people.
During this interview with Collider, Taylor talkedaout how she didn’t believe they’d really be shooting an episode in Egypt, the fun of getting in on the spy craft, how much of Hannah’s arc she was toldaout, what she was most nervous about when it came to joining the show in its second season, the fun of playing such an impressive character, the ease of finding chemistry with co-star Lee, why Hannah is so accepting of time travel, and what it’s like to navigate the Hannah-Ben-Addison dynamic.
She also talkedaout how her time on The 100 changed her life, what she learned from the experience, and the incredible support of sci-fi fans.
