Development
On July 13, 2008, Jordana Brewster was officially announced as joining the cast of Chuck in the role of his ex-girlfriend from college, Jill Roberts. Although Jill had been referenced numerous times throughout the first and second seasons, she had yet to actually appear in an episode. Most details about her up until her appearance were revealed by Chuck in dialogue. The most significant information about their relationship was in "Chuck Versus the Alma Mater", where it was first revealed that Jill was a friend of Bryce Larkin's. Bryce introduced them not long after he and Chuck first met, referring back to the pilot episode when Chuck spaces out while remembering how close the three of them were in Stanford.
In March 2009, Jordana Brewster stated in interviews that she would be returning to play Jill in "Chuck Versus the First Kill". She was released from prison after being arrested at the end of "Chuck Versus the Gravitron" to assist the team in locating Chuck's captured father. The episode focused heavily on trust, particularly how much Chuck could trust Jill in reference to her several betrayals in "Chuck Versus the Gravitron".

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“I hope I may claim in the present work to have made it probable that the laws of arithmetic are analytic judgments and consequently a priori. Arithmetic thus becomes simply a development of logic, and every proposition of arithmetic a law of logic, albeit a derivative one. To apply arithmetic in the physical sciences is to bring logic to bear on observed facts; calculation becomes deduction.”
—Gottlob Frege (1848–1925)
“Good schools are schools for the development of the whole child. They seek to help children develop to their maximum their social powers and their intellectual powers, their emotional capacities, their physical powers.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“To be sure, we have inherited abilities, but our development we owe to thousands of influences coming from the world around us from which we appropriate what we can and what is suitable to us.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
