After having to put on the brakes because of the writers' strike during season one, the college drama Greek returned to the airwaves to finish out its freshman run with actress Dilshad Vadsaria in the role of Zeta Beta Zeta pledge Rebecca Logan. Luckily, ABC Family was willing to give Greek a second look along with fans, moving the series from Mondays to Tuesday nights at 9pm, and now the second season of Greek makes its debut on August 26.

Last week The Deadbolt took part in a conference call with Greek actress (not literally) Dilshad Vadsaria to get the goods on what's taking place within the Greek system for the show's sophomore season and what she's bringing to her Rebecca character for season two.

THE DEADBOLT: How was your time at the University of Delaware different from Cyprus Rhodes?

DILSHAD VADSARIA: [laughs] Very different. I'm not sure if you know, but I used to be a Bio major at the University of Delaware, so it was. I was very pre-med oriented and everything like that. So my life was really about lab work, all of the extra labs you have to take with each class, and I was working and trying to earn some money and everything like that. Rebecca lives a very different life...

THE DEADBOLT: So you weren't like a socialite, I guess?

VADSARIA: Well, I did - I mean I had great friends and we definitely had time to do all of the great party college stuff. But I think that in regards to the character that I'm playing on the show, it's a very different life. Rebecca doesn't have as many friends, because she can't really trust people. She comes from a lot of money, she has her own jet - you know, those kinds of things. So it's almost like I'm re-living college through a completely different person who's walked a completely different walk of life.

THE DEADBOLT: What do you think Rebecca would have going for her if she wasn't so wealthy and connected?

VADSARIA: I think that she's very shrewd in regards to reading people and she kind of sees things coming. She's not a girl who doesn't have a mind of her own and I think there are a couple of things I really like about her - that she's very steadfast in what she believes, whether she's right or wrong and she's very open about it. She doesn't really hide behind anything. This is where she stands and that's just the way it is. Whether she's liked or not, that's a whole different story and I really like that about her. Also, just the way she can kind of play the politics, socially with people, and know that they have ulterior motives. It's a trait I don't really know a lot of people to have, especially so early on in their life, and I think it's kind of cool actually.

THE DEADBOLT: Do you think Cappie is too good for Rebecca or even too good for his own good?

VADSARIA: That's a good question. I think that it's kind of hard to answer that without giving some things away for season two. What I'll say is that I think they each have strengths that they bring to the other person and their strengths and weaknesses kind of balance each other out. And I think that you'll kind of see that with the third or fourth episode of this season coming up. In a way, Rebecca kind of matures Cappie in some sense because of what's happening in her life and in other ways Cappie - you know, he brings the fun in life and he makes her see that maybe everything doesn't have to be so serious. You know, she's grown up so serious, in such a serious way and everything, so I think they balance each other out.

THE DEADBOLT: Do you think we'll ever see you using your French [language] skills with Rebecca?

VADSARIA: That would be cool. I don't know. I tried to get them to get Rebecca on a motorcycle, but that didn't work really well. I think I scared them. [laughs]

THE DEADBOLT: Yeah, might be an insurance thing.

VADSARIA: I know, it sucks. I can't even tackle people. But boys get to have full-out brawls, I can't understand that. But that would be really interesting to kind of have something where Rebecca shows off her international skills. Maybe that kind of ties-in with all of the government exposure she's had. That would be really cool, actually. I like that idea, I picture that one.

THE DEADBOLT: Will you be in any scenes with Dale this season?

VADSARIA: Oh, my God. He's so funny. Clark [Duke] is hilarious. Rebecca and Dale have not had any interaction yet, but that would be really funny to have - Personally, I don't know if I'll be able to keep a straight face if I ever get to do a scene with him, because I've been there when he's shooting a scene with Jacob [Zachar], or whoever he has a scene with, and he's just hilarious. I just don't know how that scene would go and I would probably not be able to stop laughing. But that would be really cool to do, some kind of storyline there.

THE DEADBOLT: I don't know if this is a compliment or not, but he reminds me of a little Rush Limbaugh for some reason.

VADSARIA: It kind of brings that vibe. I wonder if he sort of played that into his character, too, especially from where his character stands, and like Dale's point of view and everything. That's an interesting comment, because I wonder if that's part of his character work?

THE DEADBOLT: Is this the season where Calvin officially comes out of the closet?

VADSARIA: Oh yeah, that's definitely addressed in this season, because you kind of saw him being outed and all of that stuff. But yeah, you sort of start to see Calvin explore who he is as a person and as being a gay man and everything and the whole aspect of his own comfort level with his own sexuality as well as relationships, and forming intimate relationships outside of the fraternity and all of those things. That's definitely explored.

THE DEADBOLT: I have the same question as Rebecca's father. What is Cappie's major?

VADSARIA: [laughs] No one knows.

THE DEADBOLT: Is it recreational leisure?

VADSARIA: Kind of. I mean he seems to be the guy who can go in and - I don't know if I'm getting episodes mixed up or if this has aired - but he can study for something in like a night and pass finals and things like that. He's an amazingly intelligent guy and yet he doesn't seem to put any effort into it. As Dilshad, I kind of look at him and go, "Ughh, I wish." I had to work my butt off in school to get my grades. I was never one of those people who could effortlessly get an "A" type of deal. I guess that's something only Patrick Sean Smith might know because only Patrick Sean Smith knows Cappie's real name and we try to get it out of him. But it's like Fort Knox.
