How she celebrated the show\u2019s 100th<\/sup> episode and what it\u2019s like playing the quirky, loveable Sue Heck<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably laughed watching Eden Sher play the easily excited ball of energy that is Sue Heck, the middle child on ABC\u2019s show \u201cThe Middle.\u201d In real life, the 21-year-old is just as funny as she is on TV.<\/p>\n

MSN TV: The Season 5 premiere just aired. What can we expect from sue Heck coming up this season?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eden Sher: Oh, you have some shenanigans to look forward to. Let me tell you. [Laughs.]<\/p>\n

Without giving too much away, is there a big moment that you can tease ahead to?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a lot of drama, fun drama with her romantic life this season.<\/p>\n

Is it someone new?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maaaaaaybe. Or maybe it\u2019s someone we already know!<\/p>\n

Because one of your fans, Natasha, wanted to know if Sue will have her \u201cCinderella moment\u201d this season. It kind of started last season with her dating Axl\u2019s friend, who accepted Sue for who she was.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Cinderella moment? What does that mean?<\/p>\n

I think she means getting her fairy-tale \u201cending.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hmm. I don\u2019t know if I like the Cinderella analogy. [Laughs.] I do know what she\u2019s saying, but there\u2019s no like, big moment. There\u2019s no big moment like that. I mean, right now I\u2019m still in the thick of it, so it\u2019s still like an ongoing drama, an ongoing journey. So there hasn\u2019t really bene that \u201cahhhhhh\u201d moment, but maybe there will be, but it will be an angel, God-like moment.<\/p>\n

You are by far one of the funniest characters on TV. Christopher wants to know: What aspects of Sue\u2019s personality reflects yours in real life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>My go-to answer is our innate ability to squeal. That\u2019s kind of the most important and prominent similarity. We both are very gullible, I\u2019m realizing. I mean, sue, yeah but I didn\u2019t realize I was this gullible. It comes form being very overly trusting of people. My friends actually tell me this all the time, but if you are this, it\u2019s kind of a hard thing to not conquer, but a hard thing to realize, or change, because you consistently, you can\u2019t\u2014because apparently, I\u2019m overly sincere, but I can be dry. I have some sarcastic sides of me. I got some of that sarcasm. I\u2019m usually the last to get it. I always say \u201creally.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is your favorite part about playing Sue?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>The physical comedy. All the catcalling and dancing and skipping. You know what it is? I get paid to do all the things that would make me crazy anywhere else. Being an actor pretty much is this, but being Sue is concentrated parts of lunacy. It\u2019s in a contained environment so it\u2019s all fine and it\u2019s recorded on film so someone is benefiting from this other than me, but pretty much I just get to go in there and be a complete loon. Like a crazy person and I love it. I get to whack around. I get to say, aww man, I get to say so many words so quickly.<\/p>\n

At one point watching the season premiere, I was thinking, where does Eden get all this energy? Because Sue is just a ball of energy! I mean, do you just drink lots of coffee when you\u2019re shooting all day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Well, I do have a drink. I have the best PA [production assistant] on set\u2014his name is Jeff\u2014he is just the man. He knows what to make me. It\u2019s an iced\u2014this is not really how I get my energy, though. I have not had any caffeine this morning and I\u2019m just as\u2014I\u2019m ready to go. But, not, I do have a special red-eye, black-eye whatever coffee drink that I sip on throughout the day.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s the thing. I\u2019ve always\u2014I mean, even ask my mom\u2014I\u2019ve always been this way. I have had just an excess of energy. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve always bene active. I have to be doing something. I have to be doing. OK, I have an after-school activity. I\u2019ve got this. I\u2019ve got that. I\u2019ve got a this. I\u2019ve got a that. I\u2019ve got a that. I\u2019ve got a this. Ahhhhh! Just go, go, go! So Sue has been like me. She\u2019s found that outlet. I do a lot of punching things constructively to release energy. But I\u2019ve found in the last five years, it\u2019s been such a great year\u2014I\u2019m like tired at the end of the day because Sue has even more energy than me. She\u2019s the only [person] who can outdo me. It\u2019s like a challenge I have to rise to every day. It\u2019s like, \u2018OK, I\u2019ve got to bring it up. I\u2019ve gotta get it up today.\u2019 And at the end of the day, I\u2019m like \u2018Great.\u2019<\/p>\n

Tiffany wanted to know: We\u2019ve watched Sue\u2019s clothing change through the course of the seasons. How do you feel about her clothing choices?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>I almost want some credit, no, the wardrobe people should get credit. It is ridiculous. Sue is a trendsetter! Sue\u2019s style. You know what? Her wardrobe hasn\u2019t really changed that much. She\u2019s matured a little big, but really it\u2019s stayed the same. Sue, I feel like, has gotten far more trendy in the past few seasons only because what she was originally wearing is now considered trendy! I\u2019m so serious. She was wearing those floral pants before Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie, name another store, had \u2018em in stock!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s very true, actually. I can see that. Sue is a trendsetter!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Sue is a revolutionary! She is kind of an iconoclast in a great way.<\/p>\n

The show recently hit quite the milestone: 100 episodes. How did the cast and crew celebrate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Oh, man. I celebrated by weeping. I just cried. I cried the whole time\u2026 I cried for the party we had. I cried when the whole case and crew for really awesome Middle\u201d bikes, and we had an awesome \u201cMiddle\u201d cake that was actually the house, the Hecks\u2019 house. We just partied and we kept filming.<\/p>\n

I hugged Charlie [McDermott] and cried. I hugged Neil [Flynn] and I cried. I hugged Patty [Patricia Heaton] and I cried. I hugged Atticus [Finch] and I cried. I hugged the writers and I cried.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m guessing you all have so much fun on the set. Is there a funny story that sticks out from shooting this season?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Umm\u2026 I don\u2019t know. We do have a ton of fun. It\u2019s not like it\u2019s isolated to one story. It\u2019s kind of like Neil making me\u2014Neil and Charlie\u2014making me cry form laughter every day with little bits that they do. This is not reflective of our usual dynamic\u2014but this is just a funny story that I hope is on some sort of bloopers reel. Maybe it is sort of a testament to our bond on the cast. There was a line that I had that was, the end of it was, \u201cYeah, she had to decide between a beagle and a corgi.\u201d I said, I\u2019m not kidding, I\u2019m not exaggerating, probably 20 times, a \u201ccorgi and a beetle.\u201d Just that one line. At that point Patty and Neil were off-camera and they were just staring at me. And I\u2019d say \u201cOK, corgi and a beagle. Corgi and a beagle. Corgi and a beagle. OK let\u2019s go, let\u2019s go. I\u2019m ready.\u201d And I\u2019d say it and it would come out and I would say \u201cCorgi and a beetle!\u201d And they would be like, \u201cOhhhhh!\u201d<\/p>\n

Where do you see the Heck family 20 years from now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>OK, I see Frankie and Mike are, I wanna say they\u2019re retired, but I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know how retired they would be. Maybe almost retired. In 20 years, Sue will be 36. I really thing Sue will be a guidance counselor at a middle school kind of like Whoopi Goldberg was for her. Or like running a daycare or something. I think Brick\u2014well, let\u2019s see, let\u2019s go with Axl first. He\u2019ll be almost 40. Uhhh, I don\u2019t know where Axl would be. You know what? It would be hilarious if we worked at the same school. Because I bet he\u2019d be like a high school football coach. I\u2019d be a high school guidance counselor and Brick would be a researcher in Antarctica.<\/p>\n

Oh my gosh! We can start the spin-off ideas now, Eden!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Oh my God. Let\u2019s do it. It\u2019s all in writing.<\/p>\n

Any message you want to send out to your fans out there?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Thank you. It\u2019s so clich\u00e9. I want to say rock on, like never change. Be Sue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
