But Cougar Town isn’t the only ABC offering still awaiting a premiere. Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt. 23, starring Krysten Ritter, Dreama Walker and James Van Der Beek as a heightened version of himself, is still off the net’s schedule. Don’t Trust the B—- follows the lives of two different women, a barista who lost a high-profile upscale job (Walker) and a savvy street smart con artist (Ritter), who end up rooming together in a New York City apartment.

I know U2 wasn’t on the set, but was their music being played throughout, between takes?

Krysten Ritter: We heard that we were using some of the songs, and U2 was endorsing the film, which was great. Their former agent was one of our producers, and he would take us out to dinner and he would tell us fun stories about that life, and how he came out the other end and started to make movies. Everyone was a U2 fan. It’s great music that appeals to such a huge audience. I was already a fan, so working in this genre was perfect.

Is there a scene that you shot, or maybe just a memory from the production that will always stick with you, when you think back on Killing Bono?

Krysten Ritter: I remember being very sick. We do this walk and talk, where we’re outside and we see a billboard, and Ben Barnes tells me that he ruined it for his younger brother. I was so sick, I had strep throat and I felt like I was on the verge of death (Laughs). That’s what I remember. I had such a wonderful time working with the hair and makeup girls. When I watch it, I think, ‘Oh, that was the day we had to do this to my hair.’ You always walk away from it with a different story than any audience member.

I know Don’t Trust the B—- In Apartment 23 is set for midseason. How far are you into the order right now?

Krysten Ritter: We’re halfway done, and they reinstated the original title, which is amazing (Laughs).

I’m curious about how they’re going to pronounce that, though. It seems that they’re not going to say the word ‘bitch.’ Are they going to bleep it, or do they know yet?

Krysten Ritter: I think they’re going to scratch it out. I think Don’t Trust the B—- In Apartment 23 is what it going to say. I’m just going to say ‘bitch’ and let everyone else worry about it (Laughs). Yeah, it’s really fun. It’s the tightest writing I’ve ever seen, doing a comedy. The writing is tight, every episode is just jam-packed. Every script I get, my jaw just hits the floor. I can’t believe the stuff they’re getting away with. It’s really, really exciting. I feel so blessed to have a character to play. It’s not like I’m playing myself, or a caricature… maybe it’s a caricature, but not in a bad way. It’s a person that has a lot going on, and she has such a strong point of view. It’s just an actor’s dream.

New photos added to the Krysten Ritter Source gallery from some on location filming for “Don’t Trust the %$(#@@” this last week.

I’ve added the photos from the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride that Krysten attended to the gallery.
