"Off The Map star Rachelle Lefevre has explained her character&amp;#039;s absence from the show&amp;#039;s pilot episode. The Twilight star appeared only briefly in the series premiere, which aired last night on ABC. &amp;quot;I was actually added to the show after they shot the pilot,&amp;quot; she explained to Collider. &amp;quot;They added a couple of scenes for me, just to make sure that I was in it and had a little bit of an introduction.&amp;quot; Lefevre revealed that the producers were keen to focus on the relationship between her character Ryan and Ben (Martin Henderson) in the pilot. &amp;quot;We shot those two scenes on the same day and they just cut them into the pilot, so that it would be a little teaser and you would know that there was something with her and Ben,&amp;quot; she said. The actress also confirmed that she will feature more heavily in future episodes. &amp;quot;They had already shot the pilot, so they couldn&amp;#039;t add [much],&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;My character really comes on board in the second episode and starts to have her own storyline.&amp;quot; Off The Map continues on Wednesdays at 10/9c on ABC.
