She could be a good Eve too. Love her on Bones, She's a good actress and she looks like Eve too.

[Dozysparks]

She plays a similar character with Bones too.. Apart from the eye colour I reckon she'd be a dead ringer..

[Teresa50]

She is definetly in the running for me. Love Bones.

Well at 5'9 she would be as tall we are gonna get without casting a model.

[evedallasfan!]

Not bad.

[~enigma~]

How come no one thought of this before?!

You know, Joe insisted that Stana Katic from Castle couldn't do the part despite being perfect for it (in my opinion) cause she's linked to a similar character on Castle. I didn't agree with her then, but with Emily Deschanel, I have to. Especially since the characters have some similarity--she's Tempe, she can't be Eve or it's going to be Tempe Brennan married to Roarke, not Eve Dallas.

Also, I don't know, having seen her only in Bones, whether she's tough enough for Eve. She does smart and arrogant well, but can you really see her taking out Julianna Dunne?

[~enigma~]

She could toughen up to kick ass...got potential...

[Joe]

Hey, I didn't "insist" . I just said that the idea of the books being overshadowed by Castle bothered me.

I love Emily, truly. Bones is one of my favorite shows. But I can't see her as Eve. I think she could do it, looks-wise, but her personality is completely wrong, and I think she'd probably translate Tempe into Eve, as Carole said. Temperance and Eve are complete and utter opposites in personality. Sorry, can't see it.

[Jemimah]

I'm sorry but I just don't see it at all. I don't want to start an uproar but I don't really like her characters personality on Bones and if she was to play Eve I don't know if I could get past it. I know actresses play different roles with different personalities all the time but I don't think she's got enough of a kick ass look.

Emily as Eve would totally rock! It's not going to happen but I wouldn't mind if it did. Unfortunately her character on Bones is way to similar (on the surface) to that of Eve. Any casual viewer of Bones would think that she is doing Tempe and not be able to differentiate. And that would be an injustice to the ID series.

I hadn't realized until I read a post somewhere on this site how Bones and ID's main characters were similar in style. Booth/Roarke sexy, alpha male and Tempe/Eve confident, alpha female similar on the surface until you actually dig into the characters. Then we'd really get into the differences. But that's for another thread/forum.

Yes.. There's been a few episodes of the show where she's shown that she has considerable hand to hand fighting skills..

[Carole]

I can't change my opinion that she's wrong for Eve and I've got a good reason why: she's too well-known as Tempe Brennan. It would overshadow the role of Eve.

Emily plays Bones with a lady like attitude. I.E. Soft spoken and careful about other people's feelings in most instances.
But if she was casted to play Eve, she would have to change that attitude to more of a hard nose bitchy Marine drill sergant. Well almost to that point.
She is an actress and should be able to emote the attitude of the character as necessarily called for by the script.
Then again she would be typed casted as Bones in any police drama...
Maybe a lesser known actress would be better in the role.

Not to get off on a Bones thread, but are we watching the same show?? Tempe has no regard to social niceties and is rude to most people. Eve has more social skills--she may not enjoy being social, but she is better with people than Tempe.

[Teresa50]

I was wondering the same thing Carole. Although she's learned social skills thanks to Booth and other members of the team, she's still Tempe who says it like it is. I don't see her as soft spoken at all.

Agreed. I think she is a dead ringer for Eve except for eye color. As for fighting skill, the pilot episode in the airport, she takes down the Homeland Security guy easily.

I've always thought she would be a grea Eve. And yeah, Bones is not known for her people skills.

I love Emily Deschanel on Bones. I love Bones. I think Emily is a great actress and would be able to play Eve without just being Brennan. The reason I wouldn't want her to play Eve is for the simple reason that, to me, she's Bones and she belongs with Booth. I don't want to picture her as another character, even another character that I also love like Eve. I'd have to agree that going with someone lesser known would be better, in my opinion.
And Bones has gotten better at social interaction, but she's not good at social interaction by any stretch. She's extremely literal and states facts, regardless of their affect on others. A fact is a fact and there's no arguing facts with Bones. She always wins :-)
