 
GW: I talked with you right after you had filmed “Heroes” but before it had aired. You did this whole stage panel with Don [Davis], like no spoilers, we cannot talk about that. You said that you hadn't even been privy to any information before you read the script and it just hit you like a brick.
TR: Well no, I had known that with my character -- this was going to happen. If I hadn't read the script then I didn't know how this was going to go. The premise had been discussed.
GW: How do you think it was achieved going out? “Heroes” is still talked about.
" I gotta tell you, I haven't seen ["Heroes"]."

TR: I gotta tell you, I haven't seen it.
GW: You never watched “Heroes”?
TR: No.
GW: Intentionally?
TR: Intentionally, I just can’t. In reading the script, the script killed me. I just wept. It was just so sad. And I still haven’t watched it.
GW: Is it something that one day you will? Are you keeping it to yourself?
TR: No, no I think I will eventually watch it. It is like "Schindler’s List," when that movie came out and everyone raved about it being so brilliant. I knew that I wanted to see it, but I knew it would just send me over -- it was so sad. I kept putting it off until I finally watched it, but I had to watch it in the confines of my home so that I could pause it and blow my nose and have a cry. So eventually, I think, yeah, eventually I will see “Heroes.” I do not know when that will be, though. It’s funny isn’t it? It's just so sad.
GW: Michael [Shanks] and so many of the others say this is the best, this is it. So kind of keeping it off until the end, very cool.
GW: May I have your permission to ask about Don?
TR: Yes.

Teryl and Don appear on stage together at Gatecon 2003. |
GW: You were always known as a pair on stage. What is it like not to be able to do cons with him anymore? He is always there though, isn’t he.
TR: Sorry. ... Yeah. He's always there. It is pretty sad. He is missed by everybody.
GW: We all love him.
TR: And yes, he is always there. He will always be there.
GW: But look into the future, you have a great baby. Things are well. Everything is in its right place. Are you happy?
TR: Ecstatic, ecstatically happy. I just wish he [Don Davis] would have met her.
