SciFi Vision | Interviews | Exclusive Video Interview: Adrianne Palicki & Penny Johnson Jerald Talk The Orville: New Horizons, Premiering Today
During the interview, the site also spoke with Penny Johnson Jerald, who plays Doctor Claire Finn, the chief medical officer aboard the ship, about her character’s relationship with Isaac (Mark Jackson), of the artificial, non-biological race of Kaylon-1. “Claire has to navigate a trust, whether to trust Isaac or not,” said Jerald. “Where we left off season two, he just betrayed everyone on the ship and caused deaths and caused a lot of trauma to Claire's kids. There's nothing worse than messing with [a mother’s] babies. So, she has to come to terms with that and where that sits with her kids, because they're most important to her. At the same time, you will see other things about Claire that come into fruition, and it will be a constant battle of whether to accept Isaac into the fold or not. So, that's the journey that you're gonna see this year.”
