The character was originally meant to appear in a single scene in the pilot episode. Bianco’s performance in that single scene so astounded the creators of the show that they wrote her character into the series. An interesting fact is that once the series was approved, the entire pilot was reshot except Bianco’s scene. She became a series regular and had a successful three-season run during which she became known internationally.Ros’s scenes as a sex worker were very often used to push the story forward or reveal a backstory which lead the academic Myles McNutt to coin the now infamous term ‘sexposition’. In 2013, she also appeared as Ros in ‘Gay of Thrones,’ a parody based on the hit show.In 2012, she moved to Los Angeles from England to further her career in acting, giving up her career as a burlesque dancer.
