“I’ll be honest, I wasn’t as aware of it before the first episodes of Wynonna started airing,” she continues. “As soon as the show came out, a lot of people were like, ‘I hope you’re wearing a bullet proof vest,’ and ‘It’s just a matter of time before she’s killed off,'” Barrell recalls. That apprehension extended to Officer Haught.

From The 100 to The Walking Dead to Jane the Virgin to Person of Interest, queer women have been bumped off with such alarming frequency in 2016 that many LGBT fans have conditioned themselves to expect the worst as soon as a queer woman appears on their TV screen. Wynonna Earp premiered in the midst of a particularly disturbing outbreak of the “Bury Your Gays” TV trope, which dictates that LGBT characters (particularly women) meet tragic ends - especially if they are in love. “We didn’t want it to feel like a gimmick or a trope.”Īnd LGBT tropes have been a hot topic this year. “I think the first day I met, we went to dinner, and we were both totally on the same page of like, ‘We just want to make this relationship feel as genuine and real as we possibly can,'” she says. In fact, Barrell says that she and Provost-Chalkley have been very protective of Nicole and Waverly’s relationship since day one. I was like, ‘I don’t want to fuck this up.'”

I was like, ‘Great, I get to make out with this beautiful woman and she’s awesome.’ But genuinely, I really wanted the scene to be done well because of how important it is to these two characters, so that was where my nerves came in. I wasn’t nervous for me, Katherine, doing the scene, I was nervous about making sure it was done right. “But it’s hard to have too much emotion behind something that’s so incredibly technical and it’s such an intimate moment and you have so many people watching you. What was it like to film the kissing scene so many fans were anticipating? “Dom and I, we’ve become such good friends, so we were definitely both like, ‘This is a little bit weird,'” she laughs. She’s like, ‘I want you to be happy regardless of what happens with me and regardless of how it affects me,’ and I think that showed such genuine care.”

She tells Waverly, ‘I don’t want you to be something you’re not,’ and I think that’s one of the beautiful things about Nicole. “She needed to initiate, and what I like about Nicole is that she doesn’t push. “What I really liked about it was that it was all in Waverly’s hands,” says Barrell. In last week’s episode, “Bury Me With My Guns On,” Nicole (an out lesbian) and Waverly (who has been questioning her sexuality) finally share a kiss after weeks of meaningful glances, and Nicole waits for Waverly to set the pace. It’s just so awesome within in a scene to be so forward.”īut part of Nicole’s appeal is that she’s also respectful and kind. As a female in this industry, you don’t get to play that character in that type of scene, you know, the instigator of that. “She’s really clever that way, and that was a fun thing to get to play with a character. “I just really loved her confidence and her positivity and that she walks this really interesting line that’s like, ‘Is she just being friendly or is she flirting?'” Barrell says. She says the scene grabbed her attention as well. Her audition was for the very scene that first excited WayHaught fans - when Nicole introduces herself to Waverly in Shorty’s bar and ends up helping her change her beer-soaked shirt. Every episode just brings more and more love, and I’m so grateful for it.”īarrell, who phones from her home in Toronto, originally tried out for the parts of Wynonna ( Melanie Scrofano) and Waverly before reading for the role of Nicole. “I’ve never been so pleasantly surprised. Fans of the show immediately fell for Nicole’s gentle swagger and started lighting up social media with enthusiastic posts about the slowburn romance developing between the deputy and Waverly Earp ( Dominique Provost-Chalkley) - a relationship coined “WayHaught.”Īctress Katherine Barrell ( Definition of Fear) says she never expected such a passionate response from viewers when she landed the role. When Officer Nicole Haught made her debut in the second episode of Syfy’s supernatural western Wynonna Earp, she made quite an impression.
