Leven Ramblin stars as Riley Credit: Fox

Nothing like a love triangle in which your chief rival is a sizzlin'-hot, all-powerful robot! That's what faces Leven Rambin's character Riley in this new season of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles". Show runners aren't confirming that Summer Glau's terminatrix character Cameron will get all up in Riley's face over her new relationship with hot John Connor (Thomas Dekker) but when John meets Riley in high school and sparks fly, there is certainly that juicy possibility.

18-year-old Leven, whom you might have seen as Lily Montgomery and also Ava on the popular soap "All My Children" is excited to join the popular sci-fi series although she's always been more fond of psychological thrillers than hard sci-fi actioners. We cornered the pretty blonde actress on the Santa Monica pier during a Fox TV party and, between munching hot dogs and trying to win stuffed animals, we got the scoop on what it's like to switch from soaps to prime time, Leven's musical plans and the insider info on this new season of "Sarah".

TeenTelevision: First off, you were nominated for a lot of Emmys for your role on "All My Children". How did you make the decision to leave?
