Promo & Interview
The Andre-Nessa relationship has been a very surprising development. What made her the right person for him at this time and what appealed to the writers about putting these two characters together?
It's interesting because Rhonda represents a different kind of relationship, not just for the obvious reasons but also just because this was the person Andre wanted to be with when he got the Ivy League degree and when he was sort of a buttoned-up suit kind of guy. Nessa represents something totally different to him. She comes from a different world but it's also a world that Andre's familiar with because in season one, if you remember in flashbacks, he was the one hiding the gun in the Legos. He's the one who actually has memories of the gangster world that his father came up in and so as he makes his transition on his journey to the dark side, it represents a new and more interesting relationship for him to be in.
Speaking of that, will we still have more Rhonda sightings in upcoming episodes?
I will say we are not entirely done with Rhonda in whatever form she may take.
