Jericho's Scott Is Small Town

Ashley Scott, who plays Emily Sullivan in CBS' upcoming post-apocalyptic drama Jericho, told SCI FI Wire that she relates to her character's small-town roots. "My dad's from Smackover, Ark.," Scott (Birds of Prey), a Louisiana native, said in an interview at the Television Critics Association summer press tour last month. "I said Smackover, yeah. Joe Sherman Scott from Smackover, Ark. Well, I spent my summers in Alpine, Texas, and it doesn't get any smaller than that. I mean, there's, like, one stop sign. So I spent enough time there, I get it. It's not hard for me to grasp."

Jericho is about a small town in Kansas that finds itself cut off from the outside world after residents see a mushroom cloud on the distant horizon. Scott plays high-school teacher Emily Sullivan, who has some kind of past with star Skeet Ulrich's Jake Green, who returns to town after a mysterious absence.

"She and Skeet, I think, had some sort of loving relationship growing up," Scott said. "I visualize it kind of like my first love, and he with me, but I don't know anything, to be honest with you. I don't know what they're going to do. I just hope that she stays around, you know? I think she's a good character. I'd like to see how her character develops and how she's going to handle the change. The second episode, there's a really big thing that happens to her that's really shocking and strong and powerful that shakes it up."

Scott, who was last seen in the movie Into the Blue, returns to TV though her previous series, The WB's Birds of Prey, failed to last a single season. Jericho premieres in the fall and will air Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT. —Patrick Lee, News Editor
