Here's an interview that Sarah Shahi did with TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich. In the interview, Shahi talks about last week's episode (Episode 3x05 "Razgovor" "Разговор"), Shaw's sex life and her life in general, Shaw's relationship with Root and more. Here's an excerpt from the article:
TVLINE | I have to imagine that last week’s episode, with the little girl POI and Shaw flashbacks, was a favorite of yours.
It was. It was. In the moment, as we were shooting it, I felt like it was a complete and total disaster and I had no idea how it was going to turn out. But then after watching it I was very pleased with it.
TVLINE | Wait, why did you think it might be a disaster…?
I mean, it’s not like a binary code where it’s just a bunch of ones and zeroes and you’re pretty positive about the outcome. You just have no idea. So, I pretty much go in with that attitude no matter what I’m shooting. My role is to just tell the highest degree of truth with every character and every story. From there, I have no clue whatsoever how things are going to turn out.
TVLINE | Were you privy to Shaw’s backstory prior to that episode?
[Executive producer] Jonah [Nolan] and I had talked some last season about why Shaw is the way she is, and we kind of wanted to stay away from the cliché of “someone died and made her like that.” Instead, it was; What if the loss of someone triggered something that was already there? That’s what’s so brilliant about him, is he knows how to take something and make it completely original.
TVLINE | How protective are you and the writers about warming up Shaw too much?
Oh, incredibly protective. Because she is the newest character, it has to be earned — for Shaw more than anything, not so much for the audience. We have such a rich, dynamic character with backstories that we’re just barely touching upon, you definitely don’t want to give in too much. I think we’ve established a bit of charm and her sarcasm and her “balls,” the way she goes about things. But I don’t want to push too hard or too much with her because I feel like it would be false.

My thoughts: Honestly, I've never really liked Shaw or any other role that I've ever seen Sarah Shahi play over the years, so I'm still not happy that Sarah Shahi is a series regular on Person of Interest now. In Sarah's defense, I definitely like Shaw more than I like the character that she played on The L Word (Carmen), but that's not saying much. I can definitely relate to Sarah being starstruck by Amy Acker and her portrayal of Root. I for one am beyond thrilled that Amy Acker is a series regular on Person of Interest, because I love the character Root, and I'm a huge fan of Amy Acker's. That being said, I should probably mention that I haven't started watching season 3 of Person of Interest yet, but I'm really excited to, because I've heard a lot of great things about the "Girl's Night Out" episode.
