"Meaghan Rath has insisted that Syfy&amp;#039;s upcoming remake of Being Human is &amp;quot;not competing&amp;quot; with the BBC series. The actress told Collider that the new version of the supernatural drama &amp;quot;offers something different&amp;quot; to the original. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not a competition,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re not... trying to replace what their show is. But we&amp;#039;re doing a version that... brings something fresh and original to the show that&amp;#039;s already going on and is amazing. I just hope that [the fans] know that we completely respect and admire everything that the British show is.&amp;quot; However, Rath admitted that playing the ghostly Sally in the series had been &amp;quot;daunting&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;It does make it nerve-wracking,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;We all have huge shoes to fill. We just hope that [viewers] check out the show and come in with an open mind, expect something different and try to embrace these new people.&amp;quot; She also confirmed that the character of Aidan had been named in reference to Aidan Turner, who plays the vampire Mitchell in the UK series. &amp;quot;I was reading some stuff online... and people were outraged and said, &amp;#039;Oh, I can&amp;#039;t believe they would use his name&amp;#039;, but it&amp;#039;s in homage to them,&amp;quot; she claimed. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a little shout-out. I see it as a compliment.&amp;quot; Being Human premieres on January 17 at 9/8c on Syfy. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
