Interview
With Gina gone, how have you approached filling that female boss void on the show?
Obviously you can’t replace Jessica in the back six episodes if you’re making a big deal out of the fact that she’s gone. The lack of Jessica is a character. Moving into [season] seven as we’re breaking story, you realize even more what she gave you in terms of humor, strength and conflict. We’re dealing with how to handle that from a writing perspective by looking at it through the characters’ perspective but we haven’t quite decided how we’re going to do that. As far as thinking about it from a strong woman’s perspective? I’m not unaware of the characters’ genders on the show and I do love that she was a strong woman. But we come up with characters and then later decide their gender. Anita Gibbs wasn’t necessarily written as a woman. She was pitched as a woman, but we held open casting for men and women. In this case, I look at it as we lost our leader, who happened to be a woman, and what are we going to do about that. Harvey and Louis aren’t going to want to get together and bring in someone above them — man or woman. We’ll see what happens.
