Ever since Zaz was murdered (via ice sculpture!) in Chapter 2, the heart of the melodramatic intrigue of “Jane the Virgin” has been the hunt for Sin Rostro. As tension built around the show’s most intense plot thread, it seemed possible that almost any of the secondary characters could have been the “man without a face.” That is until the most recent episode, when her identity was finally revealed.
SPOILER ALERT if you have somehow had the self-control to not catch up to “Jane the Virgin,” Season 1, Chapter 13.
“Sin-Rosetro,” the narrative text spelled out screen, taunting us for not realizing sooner that it was Rose all along. The masculine pronouns threw everyone off track, including actress Bridget Keane, who only found out she was the big bad villain before shooting Chapter 11. HuffPost Entertainment spoke to Keane to find out what she plans to do with the character and what we can expect from the rest of the season.

It really shows that the changes come from the top. We have so many great roles for women in the show, and now to have the big bad villain be you is amazing.
Yes! There are so many reasons to love “Jane” and everything that it is. It’s been such a great experience for me working with this cast. I mean, the men are phenomenal, too. I shouldn’t leave them out! There are incredible men as well. I just think there’s something really refreshing about the show, and having Rose be this big bad villain is really rewarding and fun. Even I had to take a moment with it. I really always assumed it would be a man!
