JO LUPO
(Redirected from Jo Lupo (Eureka character))
'Josefina "Jo" Lupo' is a character on the American science fiction drama ''Eureka''. She is played by Erica Cerra.
Formerly a U.S. Army Ranger (despite the fact that women are not allowed in the special operations regiment nor to attend Ranger School), Jo now works as Eureka's town deputy. She has a love of weapons, and has a varied and powerful collection stored in the station, including several handguns, shotguns, sniper rifles, and assault rifles. She is also unusually strong for her size as she can manhandle Jack Carter with ease. The residents of the town and their odd experiments try her patience, but those few moments where she gets to shoot something seem to make it worth it. The residents themselves know and trust Jo, despite her blustering. Her personal life, however, leaves something to be desired. When she is not caring for her weapons, Jo can often be seen scanning ads in magazines like ''Modern Mercenary'' for possible suitors.
In "Noche de Suenos" Jo reveals to Carter that she wanted to be a dancer when she was a young girl. Also in "Noche de Suenos," Jo states that she grew up with no mother and three brothers, implying that her mother died or left when she was young. However, she was old enough to remember the costumes her mother made for her for various roles in school plays. Due to her experiences growing up in a presumably all-male household, Jo claims she had to "learn to survive" and abandoned her ambitions to become a dancer.
Jo is single, though she has made no comment about the fact. Despite initial antagonism, she is friendly with Zoe Carter, daughter of former Marshal and current Sheriff Jack Carter. Though she initially resents Carter for being assigned to the sheriff's post over her head, she eventually comes to have a playfully antagonistic friendship and working partnership with him, somewhat akin to a brother/sister dynamic. She is visibly touched by his get-well gift of ballet shoes in "Noche de Suenos."
It appears she had a romantic relationship with Callister Raynes, who was in fact a robot created by Stark. ("Right as Raynes").
Jo also appears to be quite fond of Jim Taggart, Eureka’s "biological containment specialist" ("Primal"). This relationship developed to the point where they started a romantic relationship ("House Rules") which lasted until 2010 ("Once In A Lifetime"). However in "Phoenix Rising" Jo demonstrates regret over making out with him. She seems sickened when Zoe reminds her that Jo and Taggart's age difference is the same as Zoe's and her dad.
Global Dynamics employee Douglas Fargo has demonstrated multiple times that he has a crush on her, to which she has responded with disinterest. She is appalled to discover in "Noche de Suenos" that she has had a romantic, Zorro-themed dream about him, but is notably appreciative of his request to stay with her when she temporarily loses the use of her legs later in the same episode.
Erica Cerra mentioned in an interview that Jo would be "coming out of the closet" in the second season. It has been speculated if this implies Jo is a lesbian, or if Cerra was implying something different. She may have been speaking metaphorically, possibly referring to Jo coming out of her comfort zone to reveal her more vulnerable side. The later is more likely since in the alternative timeline Jo pursued a relationship with Taggart, and before the series began she was dating Nathan's android son.
