Annie Wershing Interview
TVLINE | Do you have new appreciation for Lily after learning everything she went through?
Oh, 100 percent. That’s the stuff I was always searching for and wanting to know about her. When playing a character who has some deficits, you have to try as an actor to find out why she did the things she did, and what makes her tick. So I loved finding out all of that. I mean, it was super sad, but it was cool that they addressed something like [domestic violence].
TVLINE | Is there any hope that these revelations might repair Lily’s relationship with Damon?
I feel like she’s finally saying the things he’s been wanting to hear — you were right, I was wrong — but it almost seems a little too late. There’s one scene in particular where she can just see it in his eyes that he’s gone. Right now, he’s not showing any signs of forgiveness, which is hard because she wants it not only for herself, but for him. He’s living in so much pain because of his abandonment issues, so she longs for healing for him in a motherly way.
