She works at the Department of Homeland Security.
And she really believes in good guys, bad guys.
And really does not care about how people perceive what she does," Yari explained.
While Yari isn’t a series regular, their recurring character plays an integral role in the storyline.
“I’m in the season a lot,” they said.
“And it’s funny because Twitter has been so warm about the show; they’re so lovely.
But pretty much universally they’re like, ‘Whoever that is, I’m really not into that.
I don’t, that’s not …
I don’t like whoever that is.’
And for good reason, for good reason.”
She’s sort of between the White House and local law enforcement.
So she’s kind of middle management and is trying to just check that that everybody stays safe.
But in my opinion, she’s not particularly sensitive to the needs of the actual 4,400.
“It sort of shuts down and becomes less of a flexible humanitarian situation.
So I think Jessica is definitely like, ‘I don’t know what’s going on here.’
I don’t know what you are.
I’m definitely uncomfortable.
No matter what people are telling me.”
“I’m not really a big sci-fi fan, really, until this show,” they explained.
And I don’t think I’ve really given sci-fi its due before this show.
And then I watched the original series and was like, ‘Oh my.’
All those intense character studies.
It’s just in a different format."
As for what fans can expect in upcoming episodes, Yari shared some hints.
“There’s break-outs, there’s break-back-ins.
There’s like a haunted episode.
I’m not trying to give anything away, I want to entice,” they explained.
There are characters that you don’t even know yet that are going to come into the picture.
Jessica continues to be on the rise.
Multiple couples come together and fall apart in these really unique ways.
And ‘don’t trust the government’ is my big slogan for everybody to watch the show."
“4400” can be seen Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
