The showrunner also offered a tease about Carrie and Aidan’s dynamic for the rest of the season.
“How much Carrie has hurt him in the past, according to fanboards.
And how badly he took the breakup.
Still, she said, “I don’t think I’ll ever say goodbye to Samantha.
She’s like a lot of other characters that I’ve done over the years.
I get very emotionally attached and protective of my characters.
She gave me so much, and I’m so appreciative of her.”
