That actually leads me into my next question. I think Faith has had a great arc. Seeing her from where she was when we first met her to now‚ she has grown so much. I think she is much more confident in herself now‚ versus that girl who had just left her fiancé and was finding her footing in a new town. She also had an awkward relationship with Elizabeth‚ but now they’re good friends. What’s it like for you as an actress to be able to portray that arc and her journey?

1 We loaded up the trunk of the 450 SL Mercedes; it was large enough to hold all of our diving gear‚ and to my surprise‚ the three of us were more than comfortable in the champagne convertible.

I became what I am today at the age of twelve‚ on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975. I remember the precise moment‚ crouching behind a crumbling mud wall‚ peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago‚ but it’s wrong what they say about the past‚ I’ve learned‚ about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out.
