IGN: Even if Red didn’t walk into her life, this show would still be picking up with Elizabeth on the craziest day ever for her, just in terms of life changes.
Boone: Exactly. Her whole life gets turned on it ear, and she is really put to task and put to the test. I think she comes out on top, but with a lot of questions about what’s true and what’s not.
IGN: Which is a natural thing. How do you think she is rolling with the punches? This was her first day on the job, she and her husband are looking into adopting a baby, and then she has all of this thrust at her. What do you think is going through her head?
Boone: I think she’s just on her toes and being thrown for such a loop that she doesn’t really have time to think. I think she’s just responding. How she responds is what tells you the most about her character and the most about who she is. Like any human being, when you go through the worst of times, that’s when you learn who you are and what you’re made of.
IGN: There's an interesting scene in the pilot where she’s asked to profile herself. Do you think that’s stuff that she’s thought about before, or is she kind of put in the moment there, where she has to go, “Okay, let me think about this”?
Boone: I think that she’s put right on the spot. I think that she is coming up with those answers about who she is right as she’s saying them. I think it’s a challenge, from a new employer who she might find intimidating, to be honest and open with them. You know, “Tell us the truth, be like an open book. We’ll trust you and work with you, but we need you right now, because we need to have Red open up to us, and he’ll only speak to you.”
IGN: What she says, some of it’s pretty harsh as far as the fact that she thinks people see her as a bitch. Do you think that is going to make her reevaluate things moving forward?
Boone: Well, as you can see from the pilot, she doesn’t actually do anything that’s bitchy to anyone around her during this really, really difficult time. I think that it goes to show how much she respects the people that are in her presence. She’s with the best of the best FBI agents, she’s very comfortable with her husband and respects him a lot, and they have a lovely relationship. So it says less about her character that she’s not a bitch and more about how she feels about the other characters around her and how important it is to her to make a good impression. I think she comes from a place where people thought she was a bitch, and maybe she learned from that experience and is trying to be a better person.
