You’ve got given them every thing you may, and now they’re able to go, and I’ve left her with some fairly horrible issues, so it is arduous to stay with that. However in the end, I believe Hank appears like these have been all issues that have been carried out for a objective and for a motive. And hopefully she’s going to perceive that.

One issues that I actually like about Steph is that when she’s in that room and everyone’s pounding on the door as a result of she’s Canadian, she’s the enemy. I believe she’s been cornered, and he or she prompts (Part 2) and speaks to the Enclave. I am questioning, is there any empathy or softness left in Steph at that time? As a result of I really feel like she’s been pushed to the very brink, or do you suppose she’s simply been utterly hardened by these years of surviving and simply residing?
O’HAGAN: I hope so. I hope that, in her personal, quiet moments, that she has humanity left in her. I believe, as an actor, I am at all times going to play her as if there’s at all times going to be a tiny, perhaps glimmer of one thing in there, even for those who do not see it in a selected scene. I hope so. I do not know but, although. Possibly that is the ultimate straw. Possibly it is not. And that is one thing I am actually wanting ahead to exploring, hopefully, if I get to in Season 3.
