She's part actress and part designer.
Emily Procter (Calleigh Duquesne) didn't sit back and relax during the writers' strike. "Believe it or not, I actually took a job," she explained to Maggie Rodriguez from The Early Show. "I decorated a house for a friend of mine. I am not very good with idle time, and I thought, 'Oh no, this is gonna be hard not working,' so I had that to sort of fill in." The actress even said that designing houses is "probably my first love."
Now that the strike is over, Procter is back to work on CSI: Miami, which aired the first post-strike episode this week: "You May Now Kill the Bride". Procter said that everyone was excited to get back to work, but the flu made things more difficult on set. "I think the day that we shot with the veil, I had a fever of 102 [degrees Fahrenheit], and I went in and had to loop the entire scene," she said. "It spread through the set like wildfire. We were trying to figure out who the Typhoid Mary was, and we have a writer named Barry [O'Brien], and so we kept accusing him. It was Typhoid Barry, Barry did it."
Procter also talked about the love triangle between her character and two of the men on the show, Eric Delko (Adam Rodriguez) and Jake Berkeley (Johnny Whitworth). When asked whether that storyline would be resolved this season, Procter made a confession. "[S]elfishly, from a personal standpoint, I hope not," she explained, "because I like having them both."
