Talking to Rachelle LeFevre is like drinking cherry soda — all fizzy, tasty fun. When the Montreal-born actress phones from Hawaii, where she’s shooting Off the Map, the new ABC TV series created by Shonda Rhimes (Grey’s Anatomy), you can practically hear the bubbles popping through the line. “I’m sitting outside on the grass. It’s so amazingly beautiful, and I just took my first yoga class in two years,” she burbles, as birds chirp in the background. “I was so full of bliss I thought I was going to burst into tears in class. ‘I’m having a moment of grounded stillness!’ That’s rare for me, because I’m always like, Boing! Boing!”

You don’t have to know her long to agree with her. Rachelle, a 32-year-old stunner with tumbling red hair and a pyrotechnic smile, is a woman whose lights are always on. She says “totally!” instead of “yes” and “awesome!” when she means, “I agree.” But it’s not hyperbole; she really does seem to Feel! and Enjoy! more than the average human does. And with two feature films out at the end of 2010, she’s on a roll that would make anyone giddy.

No wonder she was “heartbroken” about being dropped from the Twilight series. “Playing Victoria changed the landscape of my career,” Rachelle admits. But when a scheduling conflict arose between Twilight’s third instalment and Barney’s Version, the franchise’s producers replaced Rachelle with Bryce Dallas Howard. Bravely, Rachelle released a statement that said she wasn’t leaving by choice. “That franchise has the most unbelievable fan base — we’re talking about 13-year-olds who saved up their allowances to see it eight times — and the idea that they would think I’d opted out made me angry,” she says. “I wanted to say, ‘I know what I had here; I didn’t throw it away,’ then move on. Now, there are many other things in my life that I love.”
