Interview with Amanda talking about Tesla :

"I just finished an episode with him that I think the fans will go crazy for and that's all I can tell you but it's called Awakening and it's our 16th episode and so you have to wait quite a while for it. He is as sarcastic and arrogant and ballsy and annoying and wonderful as ever, so don't worry about the devamping so much, he's Tesla. That annoying bug in the ointment."
