"   Photo: NBC  A few weeks into fall&amp;#039;s stellar TV lineup, we&amp;#039;ve checked in with some of our favorite stars to see what&amp;#039;s been fun, what&amp;#039;s been hard &amp;amp;amp; what we have to look forward to. With yesterday&amp;#039;s announcement that NBC has picked up The Event (airing Mondays at 9PM) for a full season order, we talked to Laura Innes, the star at the center of the show&amp;#039;s many mysteries, who teased us with just how much she knows. ELLE: The Event is fall&amp;#039;s big mystery epic. What can we expect?LI: What&amp;#039;s great is that every single week there&amp;#039;s a fairly big shocker, and many questions are answered. But then, of course, there are even more questions. So there&amp;#039;s a smart layer of mystery and conspiracy, and on top of that there&amp;#039;s a ton of action. The episodes coming up are really big\u2014I mean they&amp;#039;re big. ELLE: Your character seems to be central to the mystery of the show. Do you know things the other actors don&amp;#039;t know?LI: When we all signed on to the show, I went in and had another meeting with them. They filled me in on the plan for the show and it was jaw-dropping. I had no idea, based on the pilot script, where the show was going. I was sitting there with my mouth literally hanging open. ELLE: Do you have any anxieties about being on this kind of show that has this long, mystery thread that runs through it?LI: It&amp;#039;s an interesting genre in that the viewers become attached and very deeply invested in the show in a way they don&amp;#039;t with other shows. So we want to please the audience, and obviously, we want to have an audience! So all of us were given a different &amp;quot;Bible&amp;quot; that has information exclusive to our characters\u2014and we are not supposed to share that information with anyone. But Nick Wauters, who created the show, and our showrunner Evan Katz are very, very thorough guys. ELLE: Your character, Sophia, is a mystery in and of herself. What can you tell us about her?LI: Sophia will be revealed in kind of a slow burn. She&amp;#039;s very secretive and oppressed in the initial few episodes, and then she gets to kind of explode out. That&amp;#039;s been fun. What&amp;#039;s challenging for me as an actor is that every single syllable that comes out of her mouth is calculated, and serves only to protect her. The stakes for her character are incredibly high, and they will be revealed later on... "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
