We thought our new favorite TV show, Harper’s Island, couldn’t get any better after Harry Hamlin was disemboweled in the first episode. Then we saw Katie Cassidy.
Starring as Trish Wellington, the radiant bride whose destination wedding becomes a destination bloodbath, the gorgeous Katie helped us understand why everyone would remain on a cursed island even as guests are getting offed one by one. As America embraces the show’s unique mix of horror movie and soap opera, we talked to Katie (the daughter of David “Partridge Family” Cassidy!) about what awaits her when she returns to the mainland.
Trish is this rich debutante living in Seattle, so I dyed my hair because it took me out of the California thing. I’m brunette right now, and it’s interesting to see how people react.
When I was blonde, it was almost as if people didn’t take me as seriously. Like, “Oh, here’s another blonde girl.” I don’t think it’s fair.
Her character may be hosting the world’s worst wedding on CBS’s mega murder-mystery series Harper’s Island, but Katie Cassidy is still the girl with whom we’d most like to chicken dance.
