Agents of SHIELD‘s Chloe Bennet has teased the mystery of Skye’s past ahead of her big episode tonight on ABC.
In a chat with
TVGuide, Bennet admitted that like serial viewers, Skye is still piecing together the gradual-burning mystery of her own backstory:
Her past is almost as much of an unknown to her as it is to everyone watching. Her whole struggle is trying to find out what happened to her. She grew up in an orphanage. She was raised in several different homes. She doesn’t really know who her parents are. That’s a big thing. She doesn’t know where she’s from. Anyone who is in that situation would want to know what’s going on there.
She also weighed in on Skye straddling the opposing worlds of Rising Tide and SHIELD, her intentions, and the political and personal motivations that compel her to keep fingers in both pots:
What I know for sure about Skye’s intentions is that she has a really good heart and she’s never out to put any harm on anyone and she’s not a bad person at all, in my mind. That’s kept up through the episodes we’re shooting and we’re on Episode 9. She has really good intentions and she just wants the truth about everything. Like most hackers, she thinks that the public should know the truth. But through her time with S.H.I.E.L.D., she’s realizing like when you’re a kid and your parents don’t tell you stuff because you can’t handle it, maybe that’s the best. She’s learning a lot. Her intentions are always very pure, but then she has this side of her that’s fiery. She lived on her own for quite some time. She’s out to find out some information about herself. Like anyone who has a lifelong goal, they’re going to stick to it. She’s very driven.
Agents of SHIELD assembles Tuesdays, 8pm on ABC.
