Sometimes being a peacemaker means some drama has to go down to reallymakepeace and not just try tokeeppeace.
Beth knows her husband.
She knows he can’t let things go.
And she knows that the relationship between him and Kevin has always been a little fragile.
You have to know when to step back and let them work that out.”
“That’s what he does.
But do I think that he necessarily did the right thing?
Maybe not this time.”
And seeing these two brothers calmly and deliberately dismantle each other was painful.
“I mean, that was rough,” she says.
“I remember watching it as an audience member and thinking like, ‘Wow.’
And I had people texting me, like, ‘Man!
They gonna come back from this?
I was like,Whoa.'”
“If you went there, you have to let the dust settle.
So there’s the heaviness to it.
But also if that’s always been there, maybe it had to be said at some point.
I’m sure they said itwayworse, you know what I mean?
But if it was there, it’s the root of a deeper problem.'”
As for Beth herself?
The new episodes will “explore her career more,” says Watson.
“Beth has moved into this big realm with her dance career.
We had that [deep-future] flash-forward of this beautiful dance studio.
So, [we’ll see] how she progressively gets there.”
That drive is something that Watson worked to instill in Beth during the character-building process.
“People, a lot of times, can associate a person with a character,” she says.
“And I find myself really trying to distance me from Beth.
They want to be a whole person first…
I wanted to double-check that she was the pop in of woman who fought for that.”
And it looks like that she will again act as a rock of support.
This pain is not forever.
Except us.")
“I feel like because that’s just part of who we are.
That stuff finds itself in there and addresses it in the best ways.
That’s something that I’m very passionate about.”
There is and involves her onscreen husband.
I love getting into their core connection.
What would be a night where they don’t talk about any of that stuff?
What would that sound like?
I don’t even know."
