The love lives of Rebecca Romijn have always been big news. Her marriage to John Stamos gave her a hyphenated surname for a while, then their divorce brought speculation to the seemingly perfect couple. She remarried Jerry O’Connell in what was big news two years ago. Now they have twins, and she’s a working mom.

ABC’s Eastwick brings Romijn back to work on TV, playing the Cher role in a Witches of Eastwick TV series. Romijn already looks like a vampy sorceress only months after giving birth twice.

At a cocktail party for ABC shows, Romijn was happy to sit and chat with the press about all things Eastwick and motherhood. The show premieres September 23rd on ABC.

Tell us about your version of Roxie on the show.

Rebecca Romijn: It’s based on the movie and the book. Roxie is a Bohemian artist with a 15-year-old daughter who lives just outside of town. She’s the bohemian artist that lives outside of town and she’s got a 15-year-old daughter. She starts having psychic visions, dreams that start coming true, dreams and nightmares that start coming true.

How do you think the town of Eastwick resonates today?

You know, it’s a small town present day. It’s a very sweet semi-sheltered place. It’s as quaint as ever. It’s a town where you see it, you see the images of it, it’s the town you wished you lived in. It’s beautiful, it’s a beautiful place but everyone’s all up in your business.

Are you more small town or a city girl?

I grew up in Berkeley which is a medium sized city, small city.

Have you tried your hand at any of the crafts Roxie does?

I’m a pretty crafty person so I’ve taken my fair share of pottery classes and painting. Yeah, I’ve definitely dabbled. I’ve dabbled.

Do you find the New England town spooky?

No, I have a love affair with them. I think they’re charming and gorgeous and I think they make a fantastic backdrop for a show like Eastwick.

A lot of movies start out in those New England towns.

They’re very picaresque. They’re beautiful.

Then something weird happens.

And then something weird happens, yeah. Because I think the dichotomy of such a beautiful, quaint, safe place where all of a sudden that safety is disrupted is everyone’s worst nightmare.

Are you a sci-fi/fantasy fan? Do you usually read or watch fantasy?

Yeah, yup. Always have been.

In the seaside village of Eastwick, three very different women are about to discover some bewitching talents they never knew they had.

On the new ABC television series Eastwick, premiering on September 23rd, the mysterious Darryl Van Horne (Paul Gross) arrives in town, and his wealth, charisma and bad boy sex appeal prove to be an irresistible combination for Roxanne (Rebecca Romijn), Kat (Jaime Ray Newman) and Joanna (Lindsay Price). There was a time when the three women didn’t get along because of their preconceived notions of each other, but then a weird encounter in the park led them to become fast friends, as they wish for their lives to change.

This mystery man soon helps them to discover emerging, unique powers that they each possess, but as these women realize their talents, it doesn’t necessarily bode well for some of the locals. Eastwick is quickly turned upside down as these enchanting women come into their own.

Based on John Updike’s celebrated classic and the popular movie, Eastwick is brimming with romance, mystery and dangerous charm, offering a tempting vision of the ultimate wish-fulfillment fantasy. The show’s star Rebecca Romijn recently spoke to press about returning to work so soon after giving birth to twin girls.

Q: Were you a fan of the film?

Rebecca: I was.

Q: Since it was an R-rated film, did you have to sneak around to see it?

Rebecca: I must have seen it on video ‘cause I know I watched it, over and over and over again. I was one of those kids who, once I rented a video, I would just rewind it and keep watching it, all weekend long, until it was due back.

Q: How recently have you seen it?

Rebecca: I haven’t seen it recently. And, when I asked (executive producer/writer) Maggie Friedman, right before we started shooting, if I should re-watch it, she specifically said, “Not necessarily. This is going to be our fresh take on the movie and the story.”

Q: Is your character associated with the Cher role?

Rebecca: I play Cher. I have bragging rights.

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell have no intention of becoming the next Brangelina.

The two have already decided that their 8-month-old twins, Dolly and Charlie, are enough kids for them.

“I’m pretty sure that this is it,” Romijn told me yesterday. “We feel like the world was made for pairs. Four feels like the perfect number.”

“Also, we’re not interested in overpopulating this world,” she added. “So we feel like we don’t want to leave more than we are when we leave this planet.”

Romijn is hard at work on Eastwick, her new ABC drama-fantasy series based on the John Updike novel The Witches of Eastwick. Romijn, Lindsay Price and Jaime Ray Newman star as three small-town women with witchy powers.

Romijn didn’t actually plan on working after giving birth. “I had put it out there that I just wanted to be a mom for six months and not even think about work at all. I told the powers that be if anything came across their desks that I’d be devastated if I missed out on it, to make sure that I knew about it. And [Eastwick] is the only thing I read.”

She was still nursing when they shot the pilot. O’Connell now brings the little ones to set to visit mom at work.

“Mother’s guilt is no joke,” Romijn admits. “I feel like any stretch of time I spend away from them, I’m worried that I’m missing out on just these little miracles. Like you watch them stare at their hand for an hour and they go take a three-hour nap and they wake up and they can do something that they didn’t do before—like wave!”

Baby worries aside, Romijn says she couldn’t be happier about her decision to sign on to Eastwick. “Getting to work with Jaime and Lindsay is just the best,” she gushes. “I defy anyone to come up with any diva bitch stories from our set. It’ll never happen.”

Rebecca Romijn has reportedly revealed that the TV series of Eastwick differs from the film version.

The 1987 movie adaptation of John Updike’s novel starred Jack Nicholson as the Devil, and Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon as three small town women who fall under his spell.

The 36-year-old, who was cast in March as Roxie Torcoletti on the ABC programme, said that there are slight differences between the show and the cinematic version.

She told Sci-Fi Wire: “I mean, this is really a different take. It’s not just like the movie.

“I play Roxie, who’s the same character as Cher from the movie. Huge shoes to fill, but honestly, getting to say that I play Cher, I feel like that’s bragging rights there. It’s more exciting to say I play Cher than to say I play a witch, which was already really exciting to say.”

The X-Men actress added that her character will diverge by having a 15-year-old daughter, while she almost changed the colour of her part’s hair in order to look more like the singing icon. She said: “I’m curly. I’m not dark, but I’m curly.”

Romijn recently admitted that she nursed her twin daughters Charlie and Dolly on the set of the programme.

Eastwick will premiere on Wednesday, September 23 on ABC.
