Jack Coleman Talks H.R.G. vs. Claire

Here’s another interview Jack Coleman, aka HRG, recently did with journalists via a conference call, answering questions about his character’s impending confrontation with adoptive daughter Claire (Hayden Panettiere). You can read the full interview over at Sci Fi Wire by clicking here, or just read on below.

Says Coleman:

“Any allegiance on this show is subject to change,” Coleman teased in a conference call with journalists on Feb. 16. “Certainly, the relationship between H.R.G. and Claire has been very strained lately. In episode 17 (‘Company Man,’ airing Feb. 26), there is a crisis situation that brings it to a head and possibly a temporary resolution. But I suspect the relationship between Claire and H.R.G. is one of the core values, so to speak, of this show. As twisted as the relationship is, they’ve said so many lies to each other, but ultimately I think they do really love each other, and there is a tremendous bond there. It’s one of the bedrocks they build story on, so I can’t imagine they will be at each other’s throats and trying to kill each other. I think it’s much more of a domestic issue rather than a superhero issue.”
