![]() ![]() And that’s one reason she gives Megan so much slack that I think a lot of bosses would have not done. She has a lot of empathy for the victims and their families, as well as the people who work for her. This character in particular, it would be easy to fall into that stereotype of being “tough as nails” and being the boss and I love that she’s not just that. But what I really admire about Kate is her humanity. JERI: I love, obviously, that she’s smart and she’s strong and she’s a good role model for my daughter, for example. I’m enjoying that we’re so involved in the cases, which is also great, and Kate’s going to be out in the field a bit more. We’re going to see a bit more of the backstory of the characters, which will be great. We’re going to find out! We’ve only shot two new episodes so far and I’ve only seen three scripts. ![]() But, yes, there is humor, but its more interpersonal stuff that we will explore.ĭana mentioned that this next season will be less focused solely on Megan and will open up to the other characters a little bit more. ![]() And the autopsies that I went to, they are extremely respectful. With so much death portrayed on the show, is the humor you’re going to explore this season involving that or will it come from something else?ĭANA: Well, we’re always careful and respectful of the dead ’cause I think that is the fear of many people, for anyone who has never been in on an autopsy you don’t know what is going to happen in the room. Sometimes you feel like you’ve played a beat before and I’ll go, “Haven’t we already done this?” It’s usually the actors that catch that, whereas the writers are all off writing their own separate stories. So a little bit more of that.Īfter playing a character for a whole season, do you ever feel comfortable enough to tell the writers, “Megan wouldn’t do that”?ĭANA: Yeah, I do and they’re pretty nice about listening to me. I think we all enjoyed doing that - finding the silliness and the quirkiness. And once in a while I’ll go with them, but I think that John Carroll Lynch and Sonja Sohn should be doing more of the police work. People always question, “Would a medical examiner do that much sleuthing?” So we have more where the cops do their job and I do my job. You’ll see more of their backstories, more of their personal lives. One thing that I said to the writers was there was so much focus on Megan in the first season, which is great, but we really have great actors and they are not being use enough. Is there anything specific that we should be looking forward to this season?ĭANA: I just think it is fascinating to see any show evolve. You have a checklist of things that you have to cover - certain organs that you have to take out and make sure that you have them in a jar of formaldehyde, so that if there is any question about the death you can go back and say, “Yes, we did check, and there was no sign of anything.” But that kind of meticulousness is necessary. A pilot has to be very careful because before he takes off he has a checklist and it’s the same thing with a medical examiner. Because the autopsies that I went to - it’s kind of like an airline pilot. It’s fun to play, but I don’t think I’d like to be like that.Īre there any qualities that you appreciate that are endemic to that kind of person and personality?ĭANA: I think you have to be detail-oriented. That’s a hard aspect of her that we’re working on. What would you describe as you favorite quality in Megan that you would like to embody more, besides her directness?ĭANA: I wish I was as smart as she is. It’s time-efficient, and some people get turned-off by that. She’s so direct, and I appreciate that, that she doesn’t have much patience with people and I find myself being really direct with people. I’ve been living with Megan for so long now that I can see things in my own life that remind me of her - which could be good, or not. But you’ll see in the second season that she starts to be a little bit more humorous, and a little bit more silliness comes in the second season. It’s been a whole season so far and Megan is still “tough as nails,” are you still enjoying that part of it?ĭANA: Yeah, I am.
