It's no surprise that Ethan Chandler is a man made of secrets on Penny Dreadful, and this season, fans can expect a lot more.

On Sunday, Spinoff Online shared an interview with Josh Hartnett (Ethan) who admitted that his character is developing into something pretty awesome- although no one is quite sure what that will lead up to yet.

"It's organic the way that you can kind of watch the process determine the actual character in the long run," the actor said. "But the biggest thing for me in dealing with Ethan from the get go was to create a box big enough to hold a lot of different character attributes, so he could be many, many different things."

Hartnett then opened up on the love triangle with Ethan, Vanessa and Brona. There are some feelings looming around, and there's something in there that the actor finds pretty sexy.

"Ethan comes to a realization quite early on in the season that he has a feeling for Vanessa that's much stronger than what he's felt for a long time," the actor explained. "He loved and wanted to protect Brona. Loved her deeply, wanted to care for her."

"But there was something to that that was about protection and care that I think even though there is an element of protection within his love for Vanessa, because I think that's just existent within Ethan no matter what, because he is someone who wants to protect- but there's something there that's hotter," Hartnett continued. "There's something there that has more need. It's fiercer."
