We just got back from the Merlin press room at this year’s Comic-Con International in San Diego, where we spoke with visiting cast and creators of the popular U.K. import. It was Angel Coulby’s first visit to Comic-Con, so she will be one of the ones you’ll be reading about here at KSiteTV, but first, we’re going to shine a spotlight on the show’s best bad girl – or at least the actress who plays her, Katie McGrath.
