ROTEM: Speaking of Gabriella, Rolin, over the years she's been a special favourite of queer fans, largely because of their read of her gender identity and presentation. How did you take those long-time reads, the source text, and your own new visions to create the version of Gabriella that we see?

ROLIN: Hm, such a good question. Um, it's a complicated question and answer. Some of it has to do with things that are not... necessarily creatively, artistically everything you want to do. But on the show we have a lot of time. There are a number of acts she does from the book. And then there are books towards the end, she's doing some other things, too. Like everything, there are fights about um... where we can push things and where we can't. I think AMC has been incredibly bold about where we're allowed to go. And I just say this: serve for season. There's a lot more to come.

SAM: The character has a very large arc, you know, and I think you can't play every part of a character's arc straight away. You also have to give them space to get somewhere. 

ROLIN: Where are we with Lestat in season 3? Where did you think we were in with Lestat in season 1? There is a design, there is a design. 

ROTEM: Absolutely, that's wonderful. And I think that's the beautiful part of this show that you come back, something changes, you reveal a curtain, and everything looks totally different. So, I think that's definitely a strength that has been proven. And we can all practice a little more patience.

SAM: Yeah, it's that you have to be patient. You really have to... You're going to get an episode week by week, and it's going to be difficult.

[SPOILER WARNING IN JENNIFER'S ANSWER:]

JENNIFER: I did not know anything about that until about a third of the way through shooting. And we were doing a scene where I got very frustrated wearing a dress. Um, this was in the past, in the 19th century, and I felt– it just felt so wrong. That was when I first heard, cause I had to put the book aside cause I was just getting way too confused. And so I put it aside very early on, and went back and read it towards the end when I had a sense we had a lot of it behind us; so I did not actually know about the importance of that and that part of the story. Those decisions were all made way before I came on board, and I do trust them. I think that there is a plan in the future with this, with where we're going. So I have to trust them with that, because I would have loved– I think the idea of her first kill of being a man and she puts on those clothes... I think that is incredible. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to do that, but I do trust them that there will be a time when we get to show that side.
