It was really important and useful to have the episodes and to know where we would understand Suzanne’s past before we even started filming. And I think Daria, who is showrunner and creator, did a great job of authentically exploring trauma and showing how it affects people in different ways. And it was important for me not to trivialize it in a way, but also to explore how it affects people’s behavior and what they are driven to do. And certainly for Suzanne, the reason why she welcomes her patient or her home, I found it fascinating and is directly related to what she experienced in her life. And that was really fascinating and important to me.
