Winnick wasn’t a newbie by any means by the time she signed on for “Bones.” Her career included roles in everything from “Hellraiser: Hellworld” to guest spots on shows like “House.” Not only did this certainly present a unique creative challenge, but the actor explained in a 2010 interview her side of that meeting with the show’s producers, in which they alerted her to how controversial Hannah was going to be:
“I had a meeting with the producers, and they told me that this is going to be a very controversial role, and to be aware because the fans, they definitely want the two of them, Brennan and Booth together, so I know I’m going to be in some hot water.”
Hannah appeared in a total of seven episodes, with her last appearance taking place in “The Daredevil in the Mold” a little over halfway through the sixth season. “Bones” then carried on, avoiding cancellation for another six seasons until it went off the air in 2017. In the grand scheme of things, Hannah was a relatively minor character in the show’s history, but a memorable one at that.
“Bones” is currently streaming on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video.
