Just who is Felicia Day’s character in a love triangle with on her upcoming guest spot on SyFy’s Eureka? When SciFi Mafia talked with Eureka’s Neil Grayston in August, he only knew that this love triangle involved Day’s character and Wil Wheaton’s character, a somewhat cantankerous scientist, but then there was a curious tweet from Colin Ferguson (who plays Sheriff Jack Carter on the show) that caught my eye. I had to get the skinny on Day’s appearance on Eureka for you guys. This is what Felicia Day could tell us about this mysterious love triangle in America’s smartest little town.
SciFi Mafia: About your upcoming guest spot on SyFy’s Eureka, when we had talked to Neil Grayston a couple of months ago he said that he thought that your character of Dr. Holly Martin would be involved in a love triangle with Wil Wheaton’s character.
And then when you were shooting over there, there was a curious tweet from Colin Ferguson about him standing in front of you naked for two hours. What can you tell us about this and is there a love triangle between your character, Wil Wheaton’s character, and Colin Ferguson’s character?

Felicia Day: No no, the – my primary storyline is between Fargo and Wil Wheaton although I do have the privilege of working with the other actors in many, many different scenes throughout the season.
Yeah that was just a coincidental situation where somebody was unclothed in a scene that I was in and brandishing his bicep weapons at me. And I couldn’t stop giggling even if we were rolling so that was – he was just harassing me.
SFM: Is Fargo the third leg of that triangle?
Felicia Day: Yes he is.
SFM: Oh my, I’m so glad that Fargo is getting some action!
Felicia Day: Yeah, no I’m sure he – yeah no, it’s very funny. It’s a tumultuous situation. It’s definitely a lot of tension between the three that I can’t tell you where it culminates.

SFM: Ah, but in the same episodes that you appear in, does Stan Lee also guest star?
Felicia Day: Yes, I was acting in the episode that Stan Lee was in, yes. So that was exciting because I know him from the conventions, just meeting him there. So I had actually seen him the weekend before at a convention and it was like a reunion with him. He is one of the most charming, nice people I have ever met and just a sweetheart.
I’ve never seen actually anybody on a set more – people – the crew who are just usually kind of not really excited about actors because that’s the job. They were fan-girling and fan-boying out over him getting pictures with him. And he was so gracious; he posed for probably like 60 photos just for the crew. I mean, just a class act.

How geekastically awesome is it to have Stan Lee, Felicia Day, and Wil Wheaton all in the same episode of Eureka? I can hardly wait! Plus, I’m so happy that the writers are entrenching Fargo more and more into more story lines. So many possibilities!
New episodes of Eureka return in 2011.
