"Kristin Kreuk has admitted that she has been surprised by the &amp;quot;intense&amp;quot; fan reaction to Beauty and the Beast. The drama - which airs on The CW in the US - launches on Watch in the UK tomorrow night (January 16) at 9pm.  &amp;quot;People are already very intense about the show,&amp;quot; said Kreuk. &amp;quot;They love [my character] Catherine and Vincent (Jay Ryan) together. &amp;quot;They like all the mythology and they want to know how everything develops. They&amp;#039;re rooting for the characters to be together, which is great, so they seem to like it.&amp;quot; The CW&amp;#039;s president Mark Pedowitz recently predicted that Beauty and the Beast could have &amp;quot;a very long run&amp;quot; ahead, praising the &amp;quot;epic love story&amp;quot; between the show&amp;#039;s lead characters. &amp;quot;Beauty and the Beast is about love,&amp;quot; Kreuk agreed. &amp;quot;A love you build with somebody over time despite difficulties. It&amp;#039;s about looking past a person&amp;#039;s looks and chequered past to see their inner beauty. &amp;quot;Catherine sees a man [in Vincent] who has gone through so much and even though she knows he&amp;#039;s not right for her, deep down she knows she can&amp;#039;t walk away from him.&amp;quot; Beauty and the Beast received a full, 22-episode season order in the US back in November. &amp;gt; Ringer&amp;#039;s Madchen Amick to guest star on CW&amp;#039;s Beauty and the Beast &amp;gt; Beauty and the Beast casts Brothers &amp;amp; Sisters star Luke Macfarlane Watch a clip from Beauty and the Beast below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
