Fringe Scoop: Peter Returns… But No One Remembers Him!
Peter is coming back — and sooner than we thought!
Poor Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson). He seemingly disappeared into thin air after serving his purpose and uniting the two universes in the Season 3 finale of Fringe. Now, once he does return, no one will remember who he is, and will actually think he’s as crazy as Walter. (The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, eh?)
“You see a man come back to a life and people that he knew, but they don’t know him,” Anna Torv says of Peter’s return. “He’s a stranger to everyone, except he knows a lot of stuff.”
Though the Fringe Division doesn’t remember who Peter Bishop is, he still retains his memories of them. “It really is as though he never existed,” Lance Reddick says. “So when he shows up claiming all these things and knowing all these things, it’s really freaky. Broyles’ attitude is that it’s possible what he’s saying is true, but the last place I’m going to go is to believe him… at least at first.”
Reddick was coy to say whether that means they’ll lock Peter up for his crazy theories, but Peter will eventually earn their trust. “It has to reach a point where there’s so much validity to the information that he has and the way that he helps, that over time, he’s given more and more trust and more and more freedom to operate, work and help.”
Gaining the trust of Olivia, who has never put much faith in anyone, will be a different beast altogether, prolonging — what we believe to be — an eventual reconciliation between the pair. “In this timeline, Olivia doesn’t know who he is, and in Peter’s timeline, it took them a long time to get together, so…” Torv says with a laugh, understanding fans’ frustrations.
Even when Peter returns, he may have some competition in this universe’s Lincoln (Seth Gabel), who’s universal counterpart had feelings for Bolivia. “It seems to be happening again,” Gabel says. “Initially, when Lincoln met Olivia in our universe, obviously the conditions were very intense in that his partner was just killed, but they immediately had a very good connection and became partners pretty quickly and found that they really saw eye-to-eye. As we go along, we’ll see that relationship open up a little more.”
“Those feelings seem to cross universes,” Gabel continues, noting that Alt-Lincoln’s feelings for Bolivia are also still intact despite a major change in the timeline. “Obviously the timeline is a bit different now and she didn’t end up having a baby, so they didn’t have that moment when he said ‘I love you,’ but that love, I believe, is still there,” he says. “Alt-Lincoln definitely still has feelings for her, which she bounces off as, ‘Oh yeah, you’re a great kid.’ That definitely continues.”
Speaking of the baby, it’s not likely that Henry will return to the series unless the timeline reverts back. “It’s not possible if they’ve never met,” Torv says of Peter and Bolivia’s baby. “Unless we end up going back to the other timeline, which may happen.”
Despite Lincoln’s growing presence, Gabel insists that his character is not there to replace Peter. “It’s been a big thing for me to have Lincoln never be a factor that is threatening to replace Peter,” he says. “Obviously, with the lack of Peter, that concept is threatening to the audience and the world of Fringe. Peter’s a voice the show needs and certainly can’t be replaced, that’s there to be above it all, and at the same time, very much in it, and ultimately, the hero that will save it, as he did last season. In terms of Lincoln and Peter coming back, I think there’s definitely room for both of them.”
Amazing episode! Double Anna in excellence! Still airing in West Coast, but here are screen captures! Enjoy!
Despite all the creepy enigmas that surround Fox’s sci-fi drama “Fringe,” it’s no great mystery as to what the secret is behind the show’s appeal.
It’s the chemistry among FBI agent Oliva Dunham (Anna Torv), her love interest Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) and his eccentric scientist father, Walter (John Noble).
So what on Earth – this or any alternate one – were the show’s brain-trust thinking when they wrote one of the show’s main characters, Peter, out as he sacrificed himself to save this world and an alternate universe from destroying each other at the end of last season’s finale?
“One of the themes we were really interested in examining was the notion of impact,” says coexecutive producer Joel Wyman. “What would happen if you just disappeared? If you didn’t exist? What about the people in your life? What about the great things that you’ve taught others and the great things they’ve taught you? And how you’ve changed their lives and they’ve changed yours?”
As fans ready for season four’s second episode Thursday at 9 p.m., not even Jackson knows the answer to those questions – or the biggest X-File: when he’ll be back.
“To a certain extent, Peter is the MacGuffin of the show,” Jackson told The News. “So we have this ensemble cast, and he’s the guy who lots of things are about, but who doesn’t get to do a lot of things. That’s who he is, that’s what the character is, so I can get frustrated all I like, but it’s not going to change.
“I’m curious to see how I hopefully get integrated into the show.”
Until then, Jackson will have to watch from the bench as his fellow actors get more time to act alongside themselves. Season four opened with the counterparts of both alternate universes – in particular Torv’s Olivia and “Fauxlivia” – having to grudgingly work together not long after their Earths were on the verge of merging into each other and wiping out at least one of them.
“I thank the studio and the network and the writers for not just giving a little taste of this alternate universe where you’re like, ‘I’m not going to invest [in these alternate characters] because there’s enough time,’” Torv told reporters at Comic Con. “Here we are at the end of season three and we’re still playing with them.”
Torv gets to play some more in Thursday’s episode – about a serial killer who snatches his victims’ memories, a case that brings both Olivias together in pursuit.
Co-executive producer Jeff Pinker says nowadays it isn’t too hard from a technical standpoint to shoot sequences that feature two Torvs. The show employs a camera attachment called a “repeatable head” that is used to create two versions of the same footage.
“Essentially what we do is we shoot the exact scene twice,” says Pinker. “The challenge is for Anna who is literally acting with herself twice.”
As much fun as they’re having with their repeatable head, the producers vow they’ll eventually return to the original dynamics that first made the show a critical darling and cult favorite.
“We pay Joshua Jackson far too much money to have him sitting at home,” says Pinker, laughing.
