Meet the new Claudia! Delainey Hayles talks sinking her teeth into 'Interview With the Vampire' season 2 as she takes over the role from Bailey Bass, who exited the series after season 1.
"I thought Bailey was amazing," she says of the actor who previously played the role. "I've never met her. I'd love to meet her and discuss Claudia."Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love. She currently lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Chicago so please don't make fun of her accent when it slips out.
Taking over the role from Bass was "a great feat" that Hayles never took for granted. "I thought Bailey was amazing," she says. "She was one of my favorite characters in it, and I felt very privileged to play Claudia, but also I understood the job that I had to do, and the coven family that I've joined.""After I was cast, I had really long phone calls with Rolin because he wanted me to understand exactly where we left off," she says.
"Jacob's in nearly every scene, so it was kind of hard," Hayles says with a laugh. "But when we did, it was really nice. When I first got to Prague, he took me on a walk just to get grounded. He was like, 'At the end of the day, none of this really matters. You bring what you want to bring, and Claudia is yours.'"What Hayles most wanted to bring to the character this season is the idea of devastating loneliness that all vampires feel, but especially Claudia.
"I'm happy that Claudia is getting her full story told, because in the modern day we only get it from her diaries," Hayles says. "This time, we actually see her truth. It would be a shame if we didn't get to see it, because she's such a unique character. I don't know another character written with quite that difficult of a circumstance. I'm excited to see her happy moments, see her sad moments, but seeing her live, most of all.
