HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Evin about all the major minutes of season 1, including Emilios death, Lenas return, and Armstrongs reappearance in the last moments. Evin explained her view of Erin and Lenas deep bond and how Lenas death will impact Erin moving forward.
The program is number one in over 90 countries right now. Evin Ahmad: That is ridiculous. I was simply pleased that it was number one in my own country, Sweden.
Evin Ahmad: Well, you have to keep in mind that I just had 3 weeks to prepare for this. I was in shock since, when I did the audition, I just had the very first script, and they didnt inform me anything about the character. I had no hint who this woman was, so Im checking out the script and Im like, well, alright, this housewife-teacher lady just eliminated someone.
However I genuinely wish I could have constructed some more muscles because I think Im so tiny in the show. Im like, I do not understand if thats 100% credible. However what can I do? I didnt have time, to be sincere. You know what makes me inflamed? I check out a few of the talk about YouTube and they resembled, “How are we going to think this female is knocking all these males?” Really, Im pretty strong. I have the frame of mind of a warrior. I could kill some individuals if I wanted.

There were plenty of twists in the very first season, however Emilios death was just so unfortunate. Given everything thats been going on in Erins life, do you think shes fully processed Emilios death at the end of the season?Evin Ahmad: I do not believe so. No, since there was no time to tell that story. I think certainly she feels a great deal of guilt. She and Emilio are type of the exact same kind of individuals. Theyre both addicted to not following the guidelines? I see them as the exact same kind of character but different. Obviously, when he dies, she had actually been telling him, “Emilio, dont do that. Know your boundaries. You do not need to do that.” Something about him just needed to keep going nearly like somebody who is addicted to something. He just desires that last sort of kick. It was definitely emotional when he died, however Erin requires to keep it up together due to the fact that people might come after her family.
Erins great at separating. How do you believe shes managing all the injury shes dealt with? Do you think shes ultimately going to break? Evin Ahmad: I think she has an avoidant character. Shes an avoidant person. She does not handle the important things that are taking place now. As you see in the flashback episode, she was left by her own mom and daddy when she was a little lady. Shes been alone all her life. Theres not actually that much time for her to process, but I think shes feeling it within her. She just needs to put all those things together and attempt to manage because losing Harper and Jordi would be a much larger tragedy to her. She just requires to keep it in herself and keep going.
Harpers biological mom, Lena, reenters Erins life towards the end of the season. Sadly, Lena passes away in the ending. Do you believe Erin really thought of what would have occurred with Harper if she and Lena had both made it through? Could they have coexisted? Evin Ahmad: Thats a hard question. Me and Denise [Gough] spoken about it. For me, as we were shooting, it was like, in fact, theres an actually interesting story here with Erin and Lena that could have even been a romance. Picture if they would have had this household, and they might have resembled a mom-and-mom-daughter circumstance. Its tough. What do you do? Picture if this was reality. You have your child, and then the mother shows up. I believe thats an extremely complex situation, and I dont believe Lena would have offered her daughter up. I dont believe its easy to just quit your flesh and blood. That would have been challenging however who knows? Possibly in another world, because I really saw them as a family– Lena, Erin, and Harper. They might have been in love and flee together, but thats not the story.
Erin and Lena] Evin Ahmad: We talked about it, me and Denise. I believe so, yeah, in some amounts.
Harper is aware of her biological mom at this point. By the end of the season, do you think Lenas death and whatever that took place will alter how Erin raises Harper in any way moving forward? Evin Ahmad: Thats an excellent question. I think for sure she needs to give up all the lies. I believe she understands that she cant keep lying. However its interesting since thats actually what she does until the end. She does not inform them Armstrong is there. I certainly believe that they [ Erin and Harper] bonded. That was also something I told our film writer. I resembled, “Okay, if Harper is writing a letter to her mommy, what about how about if Erin likewise composes a letter to her mom?” That their mothers werent there for them since thats something that they can bond over. I think for sure Erin will stop lying and be quite much more sincere and a lot more open with her child and her partner.

Jordi needs to be one of the most supportive other halves on television. He learned a lot about Erin throughout the season. Given what he understands, can they make it work? By the final minutes of the ending, they appear to be on good terms. Evin Ahmad: Yes, shockingly they are. I think its obvious that shes not lying to be an enemy. Shes lying due to the fact that she believes thats the ideal thing to do at that time. She does not realize that those things can in fact harm other individuals, however shes also trying to secure her family … I do not know due to the fact that Jordi looks like a really good, innocent guy. Its like what she states when she goes to the 12-step program when she meets this woman and she states, “If I inform him who I am, will he simply believe Im an actually evildoer?” Its also fascinating, I have to state, with Jordis character since if you believe about it, normally female stars play that type of role. Its a really common, female homemaker role. The Bond chicks are just there if you look at James Bond. James goes and does everything he does and then he comes over for a kiss and then hes off once again. In this show, Erin is the action guy, and Jordi is type of simply the partner.
Jordi is quite the antithesis of all the men in Erins background. What do you believe she sees in Jordi that is interesting her? I believe when we were shooting, I was thinking Emilio is more of Erins type of flavor, like hazardous guys. With Jordi, to see the connection between Harper and Jordi … its not about them [Erin and Jordi] not having love, but I believe as a woman and a mom particularly, I believe you can choose. Im not saying she was with Jordi since of Harper, however I think the connection in between Jordi and Harper is something that she feels in her heart. I believe thats very attractive for her when it pertains to Jordi, and likewise that hes a nurse, hes reassuring, hes something entirely different from all individuals that shes fulfilled before in her life where its rather tough and poisonous people. I think life with Jordi includes this beautiful home, beautiful kitchen, beautiful food, gorgeous gowns, and a lovely life, which benefits her. If Harper would have been with Lena, imagine. She would have had an entirely different life.
Have there been conversations about season 2? Armstrongs reappearance at the end of the season definitely leaves things open for that. Evin Ahmad: No, I agree. But nobodys informed me anything, so I do not know actually. I have no concept. If you go to Netflix, it states restricted series, however I dont understand. Lets see. Im curious as well.
Exists anything you would definitely want to touch on with Erin in a second season that perhaps you didnt get time to do in the first?Evin Ahmad: I believe a lot of things. I want to dive deeper into this character. Who is she when shes alone? I feel like were getting the response of who is Erin Carter however not truly. I do not feel like were getting a 100% response of who this female is. What is she like? What does she desire from life? What does she desire? What are her requirements? What are her wants? I would definitely wish to dive deeper into character.

Provided whatever thats been going on in Erins life, do you believe shes completely processed Emilios death at the end of the season?Evin Ahmad: I do not think so. Do you think Erin actually thought about what would have taken place with Harper if she and Lena had both survived? I believe thats a very complicated circumstance, and I do not believe Lena would have given her daughter up. I believe when we were shooting, I was believing Emilio is more of Erins kind of flavor, like poisonous males. Is there anything you would absolutely desire to touch on with Erin in a 2nd season that possibly you didnt get time to do in the first?Evin Ahmad: I think a lot of things.
