TVLINE | Oh, they’re going to play that? They can’t even run up and hug each other? TVLINE | Chelsea, in the promos it looks like a very happy reunion for Rita and Dwayne.ĬHELSEA FIELD | It is! And yet they’re not able to really express their joy physically until she gets a clean bill of health. They go through some stuff, though you’ll see in Part 2 that it gets pretty hairy out there. I don’t think so, but it’s a very interesting storyline, because obviously that was a relevant part of what was going on in the world at the very beginning of the shutdown - all the cruise ships being shut down and held out - so we found a way to put a crime on that ship and then get our folks there and lock them down. Dwayne said he’ll ride a boat out there himself if he has to, to save them. TVLINE | As far as Carter and Tammy being stranded out on the medical ship. It’s just starting, and there’s a lot to come with that for sure. TVLINE | And I feel like we’ve barely brushed up against Loretta’s part of the storyline. It’d be like if we had six characters in a TV show and they’d all been to war but we never talk about war. You know that there’s got to be all this PTSD and everything going on, and I felt like we want to bring that forward because that’s going to affect who they are five months from now, a year from now. I was drawn to the fact that the city was hit hard, and you kept seeing these people on the front lines - like Loretta Wade, our coroner (played by CCH Pounder) - and how they were being just pounded. I just started thinking about other things that the characters could do in a COVID shutdown, and I was talking to all of our friends here in the New Orleans law enforcement world about what they were doing and what their lives had turned into.
I just feel like the character of the city plays such a big part in our show, and there was just no way to ignore it - and at the same time, when we started coming up with ideas for stories there was no way to really predict back in May what the world was going to look like whenever we got to go back and start making a TV show.
SCOTT | I didn’t think there was any other way to do it, to be honest. did a similar thing, and I actually think it’s almost easier, more accessible, to follow these characters at the beginning of the pandemic and remember how that was, how we were all getting acclimated.
