It’s funny, with all of the controversy that holds around the Isaiah Washington acquisition for Bionic Woman, we have lost sight on the show specifics and continued down the path of controversy. Well today marks a new day, as I was surfing I came across an interesting article that was all the information we know thus far on the role of the sister in Bionic Woman. Here is what CanMag had to say about that:
“The character has been re-cast and has been re-conceived,” said producer Jason Smilovic. “To help us get more traction as we move into episodic, the character has a background in computer hacking. We’ve used the character to sort of open up this channel to the parents who were activists back in the day and who were very keen on saving the world, but as a result, sort of neglected their own children.”
The character was originally conceived as a deaf woman speaking sign language, but that will no longer be a trait. “Without going into too much detail, it’s that Jaime was originally working in a lab. She was going to be assigned to these chimpanzees. The chimpanzees were going to Dr. Anthros [Chris Bowers], who was using them for experimentation. He would come down to get the chimpanzees and they sort of fell in love during that time. We were looking for an organic way for her to be talking to the chimpanzees in sign language.”
