Interview: Erin Richards Dishes About Her Role on Gotham

erinrichards01

Last night back in Gotham we meet the newest member of our crime fighting team, ADA Harvey Dent. He’s young, passionate about the law and hiding a secret. While he does carry around the trademark double sided coin, Harvey also seems to be hiding something. Only time will tell which side of the coin Harvey falls on.

Meanwhile, Jim is fighting to keep his only witness to the Wayne’s murder, Selina Kyle, alive. Taking her back to his apartment is short lived when he discovers his girlfriend Barbara is nowhere to be found. He realizes she wants some time and space. Jim struggles to make it without Barbara and by the end of the episode breaks down and calls, begging her to come home. The episode ends with Barbara in a lavish bed listening to his message when a very naked Detective Montoya rolls over and they kiss passionately. Uh oh Jim, I guess Montoya is an all too willing shoulder to cry on!

Recently I had the chance to chat with Erin Richards aka Barbara Kean about her role on Gotham, her relationship with Jim and her past and possible future relationship with Montoya and if the series will address their past.

Gotham airs Mondays 8/7c on FOX
