Rachelle Lefevre accepts Julia might die in Under the Dome

ACTRESS Rachelle Lefevre is OK if Julia goes from TV drama Under The Dome as the body count rises, as long as it’s with a bang.

EXPECT the bodies to pile up in Under The Dome as the final two episodes of season two play out.

At a recent Comic Con event, show-runner Neal Baer said the body count had been kept low early in series two, so they can ‘rev it up’ towards the end.

But as nothing is what it seems under the Dome, being dead might not mean you disappear from the show.

“When you’re dead you’re dead, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be an avatar at some point and come back,” Baer said.

Meanwhile, Rachelle Lefevre says if her character Julia is to be in the firing line, she’s sort of OK with that — as long as she goes out with a bang.

Lefevre recently told a British website if her Julia is to die she wants to go out with a bang.

“I don’t want (Julia) to die … but I’m so ready to be a martyr for the show. I just want it to be really unconventional and weird,” she said.

“If it’s my turn, I would like to go in some spectacularly sci-fi fashion, like ... giving birth to a flock of Monarch butterflies.”

Lefevre avidly tweets along with the show as it airs in the US, and confessed to News Corp Australia earlier this year it’s the only way she’s comfortable watching her performances.

“I like to tweet along with it because it gives me a chance to get feedback,” she says.

“I find it hard to watch myself (on screen).

“I am extremely critical, so tweeting kind of offers me something. When people are responding positively and saying ‘I liked that scene, it was cool’, it takes me out of my own self-critique and I enjoy the show as a whole.”

As the show nears it’s the end of season two, despite ordinary ratings in Australia, and a slowdown in the US, producers are keen for three to five series.

“We have a lot of stories left to tell and we can tell them in cool ways,” Baer said.
