Being Human

Allen is perhaps best known for playing vampire Rebecca Flynt on SyFy's Being Human . For the role, she watched some of the original BBC version of the series and also researched vampire mythology. [2]

About her character Rebecca, Allen has said: "She definitely starts the series with a cross to bear.. you know, really angry and kind of 'guard up', but I think she makes a real effort to try to be good. She does make an effort to be good, and she wants to be, and she fails constantly, but I think that even [her] attempts in changing Bernie, the little boy, to a vampire...[were] done with good intentions...she really wanted to care for someone." [3]

About Rebecca's relationship with Aidan, she has said: "She keeps on fumbling through her existence as a vampire. She keeps trying to get involved with Aidan's life and just keeps messing up." [4]

She also mentioned once that having to drink fake blood on Being Human was like "drinking a tube of toothpaste". [2]
