"Sarah Shahi might only have joined Person Of Interest towards the end of season two, but she&amp;#039;s already been made a regular for the new episodes and, after speaking with her at Comic-Con, it seems that there might be plenty more to come. Read on to find out what Sarah had to say about trust issues, Root revenge and whether there&amp;#039;s any romance in Shaw&amp;#039;s future...  On becoming a series regular... Unsurprisingly, Sarah said that she is excited about becoming a regular on Person Of Interest. &amp;quot;Before being asked to be on the show, I hadn&amp;#039;t really watched it,&amp;quot; she confessed. &amp;quot;And now that I am on the show and I am watching it, I&amp;#039;m quite a fan myself! So the fact that I&amp;#039;m on the show and I get to say the things that I&amp;#039;m saying, shooting the guns that I&amp;#039;m shooting, beating people up almost every other day, it&amp;#039;s really fun.&amp;quot; But Sarah admitted that she had an inkling she might be sticking around - Shaw&amp;#039;s future was &amp;quot;definitely discussed from the very beginning&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;They wanted to try her out for about four episodes and see if the audience responded, and thank God they did,&amp;quot; she said. On Shaw being Reese&amp;#039;s equal... Sarah thinks Shaw can definitely add something to the Reese-Finch dynamic... like being a woman! &amp;quot;I think she offers a set of abilities that they possibly don&amp;#039;t have,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;First of all, the fact that she&amp;#039;s a female - that&amp;#039;s a very powerful resource to have. And she can go undercover in areas that Reese can&amp;#039;t go.&amp;quot; But that&amp;#039;s not all - Sarah suggested that Shaw has &amp;quot;the same sort of abilities that Reese has&amp;quot; as well. &amp;quot;She is kind of his equal as far as her capabilities with weapons and fighting and language skills,&amp;quot; she pointed out. On Shaw failing to kill Root... Yep, Sarah admitted that she was disappointed Shaw didn&amp;#039;t go the whole way: &amp;quot;I wanted revenge!&amp;quot; But she also said that perhaps we should wait to see what&amp;#039;s coming. &amp;quot;[Executive producer] Jonah [Nolan] said to me, &amp;#039;No, you want to keep her alive so you can torture her&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; she revealed. &amp;quot;And I was like, &amp;#039;Alright, that makes sense&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;  On finding out more about Shaw&amp;#039;s background... Sarah explained that she doesn&amp;#039;t know &amp;quot;much&amp;quot; about what&amp;#039;s coming up in season three, but she does know that we&amp;#039;re going to be finding out more about Shaw&amp;#039;s past. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know if it&amp;#039;s going to be done in a series of flashbacks or what they&amp;#039;re going to do with her, but this is a character that they really enjoy writing for,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s a mix between Jason Bourne and Catwoman, kind of, and they&amp;#039;re really writing to that. So I definitely know that we&amp;#039;re going to get to see why she turned out to be the way she is.&amp;quot; On the hard part of playing Shaw... &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a lot of working out!&amp;quot; Sarah joked. &amp;quot;I could probably think of a hundred, million things I&amp;#039;d like to do instead.&amp;quot; She explained that she boxes and worked out with a military adviser when she first joined the show. Plus, she tries to do the same things as Shaw! &amp;quot;I just got my motorcycle licence because Shaw rides, so I figured I might as well, too,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t really like &amp;#039;acting&amp;#039; - I like things to feel as natural as possible.&amp;quot; So she also had a two week &amp;quot;boot camp&amp;quot; in weapons training, knife training and fighting. Basically, don&amp;#039;t mess with Sarah. On Shaw&amp;#039;s trust issues... Yeah, Shaw is &amp;quot;still working on&amp;quot; those. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know if that&amp;#039;s something that she ever will overcome, at least not any time soon on the show,&amp;quot; Sarah said, but she&amp;#039;s not entirely convinced that&amp;#039;s a bad thing. &amp;quot;I think that&amp;#039;s also part of her charm in a way, that guard she has,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;She likes keeping herself on the outside. She feels comfortable there. At this point she is kind of a man without a country, and having her own nation just kind of turn against her, there is nowhere she can go. So she has no choice but to put a little bit of trust into these guys. She looks over her shoulder every second as it is, and to know that there&amp;#039;s another person that could possibly be looking out for her safety is the best that she could do right now.&amp;quot;  On whether Shaw and Reese could be hooking up... &amp;quot;I could only be so lucky!&amp;quot; Sarah grinned. But don&amp;#039;t be too hopeful just yet. &amp;quot;The show doesn&amp;#039;t really have a lot of romance,&amp;quot; Sarah pointed out. &amp;quot;When I first came on the show, especially after coming from Fairly Legal and The L Word, I&amp;#039;m like, &amp;#039;Do you guys have sex on the show? Do you guys kiss?&amp;#039; And they all kind of laughed. It&amp;#039;s like no-one on this show really has those parts, those bits, those sexual bits.&amp;quot; But you never know - maybe things could change! &amp;quot;I think they are going to do something with me in that regard,&amp;quot; Sarah teased. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know what.&amp;quot; But if it was with Reese, surely Zoe would have something to say about that? &amp;quot;Yes, yes, yes!&amp;quot; Sarah laughed. &amp;quot;Which I&amp;#039;m sure would make for some interesting TV.&amp;quot; Person Of Interest returns with its third season on CBS on September 24.
