The new mid-season show is going to premiere next year on CW.<\/p>\n<p>In addition &#8220;Roswell&#8221; is mentioned a couple of times in the interview by Christina Radish. Shiri explains, that after Roswell she wanted a bit of a break and do al lot of different roles. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Q: After Roswell, it seems like you really tried to mix it up, especially in the cable stuff that you did. Was that a conscious decision? Were you seeking out certain scripts, or did they just happen to come your way?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shiri: Definitely, after Roswell, I wanted to just take a bit of a break and do a lot of different roles to just figure out who I was. I think acting can be a great tool for that. I was definitely wanting to get back into television, in a serious way. I did Six Degrees, I did the final season of E.R., and I did two pilots that weren&#8217;t lucky enough to get this far.<\/p>\n<p>But, in terms of TV, you realize it is a big commitment and, after having such great success on Roswell, and finding such a wonderful fan base, I felt like it was important to find a show that I could really connect to and feel really proud of. And, this is something that I&#8217;m really proud of, and feel very lucky and grateful to be a part of. So, it was just a matter of finding something that I could respond to, and this is the story that I am very excited to be telling.<\/p>\n[&#8230;]\n<p><strong>Q: When this came your way, had you been looking for another series?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shiri: Yeah. I&#8217;ve been looking for awhile, but I didn&#8217;t want to just do a TV show. I wanted to do something I&#8217;m really proud of and that can connect, in the way that Roswell did. Having that as my first experience, you realize that it can be powerful for people, so I want to live up to that.<\/p>\n[&#8230;]<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shiri is still in contact with Colin Hanks of the Roswell cast. He lives in New York, too.<\/p>\n<p>The interview by Christina Radish gives a lot of information about the new show, so please visit iesb.net and read the interview in full: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iesb.net\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;view=article&#038;id=7591:interview-shiri-appleby-gets-life-unexpected&#038;catid=44:interviews&#038;Itemid=172\" target=\"_blank\">Interview: Shiri Appleby gets LIFE UNEXPECTED <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iesb.net spoke with Shiri Appleby about playing the young mother of a teenager on &#8220;Life UneXpected&#8221;.
