Medium Conference Call Summary By MovieWeb
Evan Jacobs over at MovieWeb recapped the Medium conference call that was held a few weeks back. Here as a quick excerpt with a link at the bottom so you can read the full article:
Medium is a show that has seemingly tapped into the the subconscious of America. Following the world of real life suburban mother Alison DuBois (Patricia Arquette), we see her attempt to balance family with solving mysteries using her special gift. She can see dead people and can often hear the thoughts of those around her. Currently in it’s Third Season, this show gives no signs of slowing down as it continues it’s exploration into the supernatural.
We recently sat in on a conference call with Patricia Arquette and Medium creator Glenn Gordon Caron.
Will this Third Season focus on events in Alison’s head, like it did last season, or will you be branching out?
Glenn Gordon Caron: Season Three is going to be a happy mixture of things. I freely admit that we plan very little in a season-like way. I don’t sit down and construct an arc for a season or anything like that. I find that I can always see through that. I see the arc and I see the writers and the actors contorting to fit into it. I prefer that we move through the season in three, to four, to five episode chunks. We react to what we see. I think there will be some episodes that revolve around things that happen uniquely in Alison’s head, there will also be a group of episodes that revolve around external things that are going on to which she’s privy by virtue of her gift.
With the show’s success are you getting stories offered to you by other mediums in the field?
Patricia Arquette: I know there are psychics that are saying, “Oh, I’m having this real interesting thing…,” it just gets too complicated, honestly to open up to all of that and break it down with the writers. The writers are coming up with crazy enough stories as it is, I think maybe the day will come where they will want some more information like that, but right now it’s too complicated to have so many influences.
Have you ever thought about crossing characters from Medium with those from say The Ghost Whisperer?
Glenn Gordon Caron: I’ve always resisted that because our show is based on a real life person. So to have a real life person co-mingle with a fictional character… in some way it impugns the integrity of the real life person.
Patricia Arquette: Somebody said to me that Jennifer Love Hewitt wanted to do a crossover show with us. Honestly, I kind of feel like my plate is full just memorizing what I have here. If the writers come up with a clever way to do something like that, I’m open to it, but it seems like they have a lot of cool ideas going on already.
