Did you have no warning of what was coming? Nobody tried to break this to you gently? You mentioned you were shocked when you read the script for this episode. I remember talking to Keith, one of the directors, at one point and we were talking about children of abuse and how, in a way, getting abused is them getting attention, so they come to prefer to get attention, which makes me think that she is similar to Dodd in her needing validation and making big bold choices and just sticking with them. How much do you think that was a true read on the character? In this episode, Floyd has the harsh burn where she calls Simone basically her father’s daughter. Maybe Mike Milligan, maybe the moment she batted her eyelashes, that was the tipping point. I just had an instinct to go to her defense and be like, “It’s not what she did wrong!” I’ve getting a lot of, “Are people empathizing with her or do they just not like her?” and I’m like, “I don’t know!” My family is like, “We don’t really like her, but we get, because was abused.” It’s an interesting situation. What do you view as the major flaw or major misstep that was her undoing? But maybe Simone shouldn’t have been palling around with Mike and the rest of the Kansas City gang.

Simone stared down abusive father Dodd (Jeffrey Donovan), talked back to intimidating grandmother Floyd (Jean Smart) and introduced a little kinkiness to Mike Milligan’s (Woodbine) life. Looking for a Tolman-esque breakout, though? Try Rachel Keller, a 22-year-old Carnegie Mellon grad who was probably only familiar to fans of Starz’s acclaimed The Chair, as one of the leads in Hollidaysburg.Īs Simone Gerhardt, overlooked and underestimated part of a North Dakota crime dynasty, the Minnesota-born Keller brought vulnerability, sass, dreaminess and one of the show’s most convincing accents to the season. The Mann Brothers, Allan Dobrescu and Angus Sampson have also stood their own against vaunted co-stars.
