This reorganization allows The show’s writers got creative.
“It brings about change, growth, conflict, loss, all those things that are rich for any character. Our show in previous seasons was also very much a romantic drama, and there was a very strong connection between these two women who were so different but found incredible common ground by working together,” Preston told us. “It’s a feeling that doesn’t go away. So the longing for that – the longing for her best friend – and the longing to be with her creates some very funny, deep and touching scene work.”
The actress continued, “When Kaya comes back, we get to see a reunion. We see them back in the same place, but they’ve both gone through things apart that can lead to a friendship. It’s fun, and the writers did a great job of not trying to fill in Kaya’s shoes, because you can’t, but instead bringing in different partners for Elsbeth and seeing her have different relationships with those people than she had with Kaya. None of that stuff does anything but make for a richer experience for the cast and the audience.”
