NBC's "Grimm" is back this Friday, and cast members Bitsie Tulloch and Sasha Roiz spoke to reporters on the phone yesterday about their complicated arc that will see some exciting love scenes this new season.

On their favorite episdes from Grimm's past:

Bitsie Tulloch: From Season 1 I really like the episode Game Ogre just because that was sort of the first time Juliette was inadvertently drawn into the fray in a sort of physical way. I think it was Episode 10 or something.

And I also liked from Season 1 the thing with feathers, which is the one where Nick and Juliette go away for the weekend to that romantic cabin and all hell breaks loose. And again, I think one of the reasons I like it is because she ends up, you know, having to hunt down and sort of save Nick.

And then there’s been a lot of great stuff from Season 2 but I would say from Season 2 so far my favorite episode is the one that’s going to premiere - or going to air on Friday night.

Sasha Roiz: Yes, I would agree, the one that airs Friday night is pretty amazing and it’s got something for every character so I think that is really what appeals to me is when everybody’s kind of featured and there’s such high stakes.

I think from Season 1 is probably Three Coins ... I believe it’s called because it was the first time we get a sense or a glimpse into the Captain and some of his personal life and some of his ambitions. So that was a lot of fun for me.

On Sasha's character's showdown with Nick:

Sasha Roiz: I was actually surprised it’s as soon as it is. I thought it could even be dragged out until the end of the season. But I’m really glad that it’s happened. I’m really glad that we had a chance to finally confront each other because I think it’s something the fans had been waiting for a long time. And we - as characters and actors had been waiting for as well.

So yes, I don’t think it’s a moment too soon.

On Bitsie's acting challenges:

Bitsie Tulloch: Yes, absolutely. I mean in Season 2 I’ve had a lot of - I’ve had so much more to do with her which is not to knock the storyline from Season 1 because - at the beginning of Season 1 this guy who I’ve been dating, who I loved, he lost basically the woman who raised her.

I know a lot of fans were sort of saying how can she be so naïve, how is she not seeing this, but she was just being really understanding and sensitive to Nick’s situation.

But waking up in Season 2 in a coma and then having just this big empty hole where this man once lived is - has been sort of crazy and I have to say you have not seen the worst of it. What goes on with Juliette gets much worse before it gets better. So they’re just sort of starting to lay out what’s going to happen the rest of Season 2.

So as an actress it’s definitely been so much fun for me to really go into these deep dark depths of the character and her mental space. And she’s really starting to lose it kind of.

I mean as you can imagine it’s crazy to wake up and see pictures of this guy - this stranger all over your house and be told that, you guys were going to get married and all this stuff and you have no recollection whatsoever.

And then all of a sudden she’s lusting after someone she barely knows and can’t control herself. I mean it’s enough to make anybody mad. So that’s been a lot of - that’s been fun for me.

On how far Juliette and Renard’s relationship will go?

Bitsie Tulloch: Well, what happens on Friday night we’ve not see the likes of on Grimm so far. I think it’s really fun and I think it’s just a great way to sort of deal with what’s going on between the two of them and also to highlight how little control they have over it, that this is not some - slow burning love .... they can’t control the lust.

And obviously it gets to a sort of violent place and neither of them is really wanting this to happen, they can’t help it.

Obviously Sasha’s character understands more of what’s going on coming from that world and Juliette is just like all right, well, I guess par for the course, I’m already losing my mind.

Sasha Roiz: Yes, will they be surprised? I think they’ve seen it escalate and this will be a great payoff I believe. It’s fun, it’s fun to explore new ground, new territory with Grimm. It’s almost like Grimm after dark, a little - you know, racier version. So I think they’ll be pleased and it’s a good payoff after this long hiatus.

On the physical sex scene coming up:

Bitsie Tulloch: It took so long because we had to have a stunt coordinator sort of help us out, particularly me. I’m not - I’m sort of known among the cast members of being like - I don’t know, Sasha, what would you say?

Sasha Roiz: She’s a little clumsy.

Bitsie Tulloch: Yes, and that love scene also got edited down massively but when we were actually shooting it, it took something like eight-and-a-half hours to get through which is incredibly long for basically one scene because it was so complicated and it did require such coordination.

Sasha Roiz: That said, Bitsie always want a stunt coordinator there when she has a love scene so who knows.

Bitsie Tulloch: That’s right, that’s my style.

Sasha Roiz: Yes, no, but it was intense. I mean I think it was definitely a shocker for us when we read it because we really didn’t believe it when we read it. We thought it was a bit of a joke. But they went there.

Bitsie Tulloch: It was so intense that we both - we thought it was a joke; we literally thought it was a joke that when we read the script. We were like, ha-ha, where’s our real script.

Sasha Roiz: But it was - I think it came out well. I haven’t seen it but I presume it came out well.

On the impact that it has on the three characters going forward?

Sasha Roiz: Well, it’s going to be very delectate moving ahead and I don’t want to say too much because we’ll see what happens because it’s really Nick’s choice at this point whether he wants to move ahead, whether he wants to stay Portland, or whether he wants to deal with me with her.

So there’s going to be a lot of fall out and that’s going to occupy I think the remainder of this season to see what will transpire and how pieces will fall and - where they fall I should say. So that’s really going to be a very delicate balance I think moving on.
