Tania Raymonde, who plays police
officer Carla in MTV's Death Valley, jokes her character isn't
completely straight.
The 23-year-old Raymonde is best known
for playing Alex Rousseau for four seasons on the ABC drama Lost.
In Death Valley, she plays an
Undead Task Force (UTF) agent who battles the zombies, vampires and
werewolves that roam Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.
The half-hour show, which premiered in
August, mixes black comedy with horror. UTF agents are followed by a
Channel 5 news team as they capture the monsters.
When Fearnet.com
suggested Raymonde played the “straight man” on the show, she
replied: “Well, not completely straight.”
In fact, Carla was revealed to be a
lesbian during the fifth episode of the show, titled Zombie
Fights.
She added, referring the show's latest
episode, Tick, Tick, Boom: “We meet her girlfriend and there
are some funny scenes with Carla and her girlfriend and John-John
(played by Texas Quency Battle, The Bold and the Beautiful),
who refuses to believe that Carla is a lesbian – despite very
concrete evidence that she is.”
