An interview with Fabuland Housewives' Hannah Hippopotomaus.
Hannah Hippopotomaus
plays
Holly Hippo
on the hit series
Fabuland® Housewives.
Find out how he feels about
being killed off
and what's next.

Q: I was really starting to get interested in your character. I was so upset that it was you who bit the bullet!
A: Thank you. I had a great time playing Holly and she's not done yet for the season. She shows up in several flashbacks.

Q: A lot of fans are upset that the killer took you. Yue were becoming a very popular character with viewers.
A: The fans have been so great. All 12 of them! I didn't realize how much the viewers loved Holly until she was killed off. Some fans are very upset!

Q: What would you like to say to your fans if you could?
A: First of all, thank you. Thank you so much. Playing Holly has been such a wonderful experience and it was even more special because of all the love from my fans. Secondly, I want to tell them how lucky they are that they saw as much of me as they did, because I wasn't originally supposed to survive as long as I did!

Q: Really? Elton Elephant had hinted that some of the murders were switched. What's the story?
A: Well, I was originally scheduled to be murdered second and Franklin would have been murdered after Evan.

Q: How early in the process did you know your character was going to be killed off?
A: Right from the beginning, when I signed my contract.

Q: Why was that?
A: Well, with all the humility I can muster, I'll explain what happened. The writers really liked me and the producers loved my performances and they wanted to extend my run on the show, so they made the switch.


Holly was electrocuted in her bathrub by the Fabuland® serial killer.

Q: Did that hurt Freddy(Fox, Franklin Fox)'s feelings?
A: No, he's a true professional. Besides, he got a lot more to do by getting killed off first. He has some great flashback scenes coming up before the end of the season.

Q: Elton had also hinted that a murder had been added. Was that Bailey?
A: Yes! Oh this is such a funny story. I hope I don't get in trouble for telling it. Well, Bartie (Bulldog, Bailey Bulldog) and Bertie (Bulldog, Barney Bulldog) are both real life police officers. They act as our consultants and play the officers on the show as well. Well Bartie who plays Bailey was really taken in by the "star life". He was dating Bonnie (Bunny, Betsy Bunny) and he was starting to develop a chip on his shoulder. Well, the director got sick of him not listening on set and he clashed with some other people, like the producers and the writers. Well, not too long after he and Bonnie stopped dating, they added him to the killer's list because they just couldn't deal with him as an actor anymore! Isn't that a scream? Oh, I hope I haven't said too much.

Q: That's fascinating! Thank you for sharing. Now...the BrickZone.net Post-Gazette has picked up word that you are signed for season two of Fabuland Housewives. If Holly has been murdered, who will you be playing next season?
A: Now, I know I definitely can't talk about that. Everyone will just have to wait and see.

Q: So what happens with Holly for the rest of this season?
A: Well, like I said, I show up in a lot of flashbacks. Holly's death opens up a lot of conflict with the people in town. Now that she and Franklin are both dead, the restaurant and that beautiful house are up for grabs.

Q: How many more episodes left in the season?
A: Only six.

Q: Wow, will you be in every one of them?
A: I think so. We film out of order, so I can never remember. I know that once I died, my shooting schedule became a lot lighter!

Q: Have all six episodes filmed yet?
A: Not yet. We have the scripts for all of them except the season finale. The producers don't want any of us revealing who the killer is or the last murder victim is. Ooops! I definately shouldn't have said that. Please don't put that in the interview.

Q: Don't worry.
A: Thanks! You're a great person, I don't care what the rest of the cast says about you?

There you have it! What a huge scoop! With only six new episodes left until the end of the season, we'll see at least one more character murdered and we'll find out soon who the killer is.

Until next time
