NBC’s ‘Grimm’ season 5, episode 6 reaction: Guess who’s back?

“Grimm” apparently did not want to be left out of the ranks of shows to bring back people from the dead … though they have a rather unique twist that they are bringing to the table.

Bitsie Tulloch is back on the series as a part of the cast, but not in the role of Juliette per se. Instead, she is playing the part of Eve, a dangerous woman who has ties to the Black Claw, and seems to also have every one of Juliette’s own memories stored away in her head. This is still something we’re going to be spending some time wrapping our head around, but for Tulloch, she’s had to spend plenty of time thinking about this role. Not only has she had to determine who she is and how to play this, but she’s also had to figure out how to keep her return a secret.

Speaking to TVLine, though, she made it clear that some specific circumstances helped to make the whole process a little bit easier:

“I’ve been really strategic. I technically was only off for four episodes. It feels like a lot longer, because since the finale I’ve know this was going to happen… Not going to Comic-Con made me a little sad, because I always have so much fun at Comic-Con. But I really needed not to be there to sell this story… Conveniently enough, since David Giuntoli is also my real-life boyfriend, a lot of people just assumed that the reason I was still in Portland was because I’m dating him. The reality is, ‘No, the reason I’m still in Portland is because I’m still a regular on Grimm.”
