It is the question that’s been driving Fringe fans bat-you-know-what crazy all summer long: Is Joshua Jackson’s Peter gone for good?!

I suspect we’ll get some kind of answer on Saturday afternoon, when the Fox drama holds its Comic-Con session. Until then, check out the video Q&A I conducted with leading lady Anna Torv at TVLine’s interview suite on Friday as there may be some clues. (Emphasis on may.)

She’s so beautiful and such a talented actress! I’m still pissed Fringe, Anna and John didn’t get their more-than-deserved Emmy nominations.

Can’t wait for the Fringe panel. Too bad I couldn’t be there this year

Oh, Anna. Seriously, could this woman be more awesome? Can’t wait for S4 to start.

I have a friend with hearing problems and she gets incredibly frustrated every time she has to ask me what’s in the videos. Would a transcript/little summary be too much to ask?

- Well, get typing I’d say.. What’s keeping you from helping your friend out..

- I, myself have the same problem. Sonic Ear is the answer.

She’s great. Interesting to hear her talk about having to play the 2 characters and how she’d deciding how she wants to shoot those scenes.

Anna Torv is amazing!

I hope this won’t be the last season, it would suck to have both Fringe and Chuck end during the same season cycle.

- yeah when he asked her about them being heavier on the mythology and catering more to fans, I was sitting there shaking my head cuz I think the only way to get the viewership back up from 2-3M to where it was originally, around 6-9M, is to have those more standalone plotlines…. I hope the writers realize this…. if this is indeed a large reason why the viewership has gone down so much. This show deserves to run about as long as the X-Files (if not longer…I can always dream )

  - So, you’re basically implying that you want the show to be less good – in order for it to get more viewers? *headshake*
    
    I’d love a season 5, but first I’m going to enjoy season 4. The 1,5 years of Fringe have been of such amazing quality and I’m sure the coming year will be too!

- I totally agree. I can’t wait for season 5 of Chuck but I aslo know that I’m gonna miss this show. So it can’t be the end of Fringe, it would be too much for my heart ! x)

I adore Anna Torv! She’s such an awesome, classy, charming gal. FRINGE is the show that I’m most excited to see return this fall.

Man, she’s gorgeous!!!
Comment by Mae – July 23, 2011 02:15 PM PDT Reply To This Post
LOVE her! I love interviews with her because we see her smile and laugh. Like someone said she is charming and so smart. Can’t wait for the Fall. Thanks for the fab Comic-Con coverage!

Damn she is such a beauty! Love her, Love Fringe!

Anna! I just love her so much. My cheeks hurt from smiling. My birthday is the day after the S4 Fringe premiere. BEST GIFT EVER.
Comment by Sarah – July 23, 2011 02:47 PM PDT Reply To This Post
Great interview. I remember the interview from last year and was just blown away at it. It’s so great to see actors/actresses so invested and excited about their show and how much it means to them. It just makes me that much more of a fan because to me, that kind of reaction is rare.

Here’s to many more seasons of Fringe.

might be nice if the video actually played

I think I missed half of what Anna Torv said because did… did your shirt just blink? That. Is. Adorable.
Comment by Kristen – July 23, 2011 03:06 PM PDT Reply To This Post
- LOL! Yeah, I thought I was seeing things, but it did! Love it Mr Ausiello!

I loved how you flat-out asked, “So what happened to Peter?” Best delivery ever.

I’ve been watching ever since Fringe was about to make its premier at ComicCon a few years ago. I’ve watched every episode faithfully. And although I thought the show good–very good, even!–I often found myself saying out loud to myself at the end of episodes: “God, I miss Scully!” I don’t say that anymore, even though The X-Files has been and will be #1, Fringe has come into its own.

God job guys! looking forward to Season 04.

PS: I HEART Anna! <3

- I really enjoyed X-files, especially the occasional tongue-in-cheek humor. Unfortunately, the last season was lame and never should have been taped.

I wouldn’t mind being a shoulder double for Anna…even though I’m a man. Just give me a leather jacket and Altliva’s wig.

Marry me Ana!! You are my dream woman!

I can’t focus on the interview because I can’t help but stare on her breasts. I love you Anna Torv!

They moved it to Friday night. That is why viewers were lost

Come back Peter!!!

I just adore her. That is all.

The stand alone stories is what caught us,these later years have lost us if we miss a story.
I enjoy a story that doesn’t need us to watch every single show!

- Go watch CSI then.
  Comment by ana muller – July 24, 2011 12:37 PM PDT Reply To This Post
Anna is amazing, but we all knew that. Can’t wait for season 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment by Michelle – July 23, 2011 09:52 PM PDT Reply To This Post
I’m really of the opinion that the last series episode where we had a flash forward of 15 years was suppose to be the end. Renewal was in question at the time that episode was produced. With future Olivia killed and Peter disappearing that was the end. Upon renewal, anything else is bonus in my opinion. I’m going to enjoy each and every episode like a gift for another season. It’s a niche show that hasn’t garnered the ratings for a long run. I don’t expect it to last with Fox’s track record of axing, so I am happy with another season regardless. I’m just not holding my breath for anything beyond that. Please surprise me Fox Network.

- Agreed. This show ought to be extended with new twists and a storyline that reflects the kind of mysteries surrounding the human race. For example, the issue of parallel universes should delve deeper in events shaped by the Observer, that strive to keep ‘continuity’, consistent character development and any revelation of ‘odd jobs’ they do to keep everything shaping up nicely to their aspirations.
  
  On the individual episodes front, there are so many possibilites that can be exploited further in this fringe science rollercoaster!

Am looking forward to your next interview with her.

Not to tangent, but Michael Ausiello, I want to marry you. That’s all. Can’t wait for the new season. Carry on.

Anna Torv, amazing actress, wonderful woman.

And two Olivia’s in one scene, great. Loved the ones she did so far.
