Effectively, it’s actually trying like Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) may be proper about Casey (Vaughan Murrae), Kat’s (Chyler Leigh) intern she thinks is from the longer term. (Her first clue: She noticed them carrying Kat’s engagement ring on a necklace.) They mentioned they’re a Goodwin, however Alice meets Max Goodwin within the newest Approach Residence episode, and he says he doesn’t have a sibling with that identify.
“Casey is an enigma wrapped in a thriller…” govt producer Alexandra Clarke jokes to TV Insider. “The ripple impact of their presence or lack thereof goes to be felt this season, for certain. And Alice and her theories is a very thrilling highway to go down.”
Provides govt producer Heather Conkie, “All the things has been concerning the previous and now swiftly the characters are all switching a bit of bit as a result of Alice is about her future and Del [Andie MacDowell] is about what occurred in ‘74 and possibly sure issues that she doesn’t love individuals to know.

She additionally is aware of that Alice might be “intense” and “ask too many questions.” And due to who she is, she appears like she simply retains getting affirmation of her concept. “However I don’t know that, if she actually picks it aside, her logic holds up,” Laflamme-Snow admits. “That’s fascinating for the viewers, is that you simply sort of undergo that wrestle with Alice as a result of as issues are revealed, there’s numerous issues that type of undercut that and say, ‘Okay, we’re again to sq. one now. Now how do we all know if that is actual or not?’”
The EPs can’t say a lot about Alice and Casey’s subsequent interplay. “For Alice, it’s going to be extra concerning the figment of Casey versus the true Casey, for a short time no less than,” teases Clarke. “I feel that’s much more intimidating and extra mysterious than the precise individual. In the long run, no less than in Alice’s thoughts, they may begin to change into a bit larger than they even actually are.” Provides Conkie, this thriller is a “little bit of an obsession” for her.
Elsewhere on this episode, Del now has to cope with the truth that it’s even more durable to disclaim that her late husband Colton (Jefferson Brown) was time touring; his sweater from 1999 is discovered close to the pond.
“It’s actually exhausting for her as a result of she felt she knew this individual in and out, that she knew every little thing about this individual. This was her greatest buddy, this was her every little thing,” says MacDowell. “So I feel it’s actually exhausting to think about that he had a life that she didn’t know something about.”
Conkie teases that “it screws her up a bit.”

However in having her son again and her daughter persevering with to time journey and Alice is continuous to time journey, it’s simply going to open up a world that possibly she didn’t need to learn about. There may be some type of factor of ignorance is bliss and do you need to be in on every little thing?”
She continues, “Her journey this yr is absolutely concerning the previous and questioning that as a result of swiftly now there’s different factors of view of reminiscences that she has held very near her coronary heart about Colton as a result of they’re all she has left of him and now swiftly right here’s Alice saying, ‘Effectively, I bear in mind it this manner,’ and I feel it’s a very powerful journey for Del. It’s going to be loads of reflection and loads of questioning and loads of doubt and questioning why the person you thought you might belief, no less than for the higher a part of their marriage, might need really been mendacity from the very starting. It’s a tough actuality to face.”
Clarke praises MacDowell’s work on this storyline with that. “Issues are going to come back to a head, and naturally, it’s not going to be a simple highway, however hopefully it’s finally a redemptive one,” she provides.
Will her arc embody desirous to time journey like the opposite members of her household? Kat’s boyfriend, Elliot (Evan Williams), even has, too. “Del is a really sensible girl. I feel what’s wonderful about her and her character is she doesn’t romanticize so much. She doesn’t romanticize a lot besides her personal relationship with Colton really. All the things else could be very matter-of-fact. And I feel, in consequence, that’s type of how she treats the pond, however she’s additionally a doer. So there’s that,” Clarke permits, however she will’t say extra.
