“Beth is haunted by her past. She has a lot of regrets. And she has a lot of secrets that he doesn’t know. So there is something that is under the surface that will one day, I’m sure, come, and she’s probably certain that she will lose him. In this season, you feel that she is waking up in the night, constantly having bad dreams, constantly thinking about how she treated him, how she was with him, some of the decisions she made. And it’s almost like it’s coming home to roost, you know, and she can’t let it lie. She can not switch that part of herself off and I think she feels immense guilt. And more than that, she feels shame. There’s a tremendous sadness in that. A, for, you know, she’s not able to give him a child but also the history of what happened to her and Jamie and the decision that she made and the decision that he made on her behalf. He doesn’t know any of that, and she’s protecting him. So there’s a weighted burden in her heart that she can not share with him. So he’s trying to reassure her and love her but he doesn’t know the truth.”

“I am just absolutely blessed… And we, kind of pick each other up, we help each other, we walk into each other’s trailers, we talk. It’s just that kind of relationship- there’s such an honesty and a beauty. It’s very special.”
