Oh my gosh. Okay. So I’ve to be trustworthy. I feel that’s the one time that I’ve been nervous as a result of he’s so cool.

What are you able to say in regards to the Sam and Kasie dynamic in that episode?
I simply need to begin off by saying I tousled as a result of the primary time I heard that he was going to be on the present, I jokingly stated to the writers, “Just remember to have a Sam and Kasie scene,” understanding that I completely would freak out and fangirl if it occurred. They usually had been like, okay. After which they did it. And now each time he comes on, there’s at all times a Sam and Kasie scene and so in it, I’m at all times very calm.

Every other returning characters developing?
You’ll have to look at and see.
What was your favourite scene to movie from tonight’s episode?
Positively the pottery studio. If you find yourself truly throwing pottery, you get messy, you get that slip on you, you get that clay on you, and it ruins your outfit. They stored having to go, no, you may’t sit. So once I lastly obtained an opportunity to sit down on the wheel and form that stunning vase that Kasie finally ends up making, it was numerous enjoyable for me.
Are we going to see Kasie out of the lab extra this season going ahead? Or is she primarily again within the lab after this episode?
There’s numerous navy crimes that come up, so that they put Kasie again within the lab, however I’m excited to see what she does now that we all know we have now Season 23!
With whom does Kasie have probably the most important dialog developing?
I feel it’s nearly at all times Palmer [Brian Dietzen]. I feel that’s the person who she confides in probably the most and is simply best for her to speak in confidence to, whether or not on goal or accidentally.
Yeah, I used to be going to ask if there any good scenes developing with these two as a result of I really like their friendship.
I love their friendship. And I nonetheless keep in mind the day method again when Brian was like, “You and I are associates in actual life.” And I used to be like, “We’re?” I used to be so excited. That’s my buddy for actual.
Parker remains to be digging into his mom’s loss of life. What’s developing? Is Kasie going to get entangled? It’s primarily been Knight, then Palmer’s drawing the sketch and it looks as if slowly different individuals are changing into a part of it.
Yeah, Kasie’s at all times going to be there to help her associates and simply being the forensic scientist, she is ready to get some info that different folks don’t. However the Parker story does actually get private primarily with Knight.
What else is developing for Kasie?
I hope a trip someplace tropical.
What are you hoping to discover in Season 23?
I want to see some folks from Kasie’s previous come again. We had her finest buddy earlier than. We haven’t heard from him. I’d additionally wish to see a little bit little bit of the issues that Kasie doesn’t like. Kasie’s very obsessed with nearly each case and numerous totally different components. However I need to see the couple issues that Kasie type of goes, Nope, I obtained a boundary round that. Nope, can’t do it.
Like what for instance?
I don’t know. She’s been by way of a lot. She was apparently okay with going by way of pig manure and in addition used blood draw needles, so I’m not precisely positive. After which one among my first episodes was that they had been going by way of a farm with, I suppose pigs had eaten a lifeless physique. There was additionally the one the place she needed to pressure physique components out of a sizzling tub that had been cooked. So I’m not likely positive the place that boundary is, however I’d wish to see her not cross one.
Are there any characters you’d wish to see her work together with extra?
I really like when I’ve McGee scenes. I completely love that. I feel that Kasie and Tim simply ping off one another so properly in that type of technical type of method. I additionally simply love working with Sean. I really like simply attending to hit the ball backwards and forwards with him, him and Gary. It is a dream visitor.
What have been a few of your favourite scenes from the season to movie?
I undoubtedly cherished all the ladies night time stuff. I’ve had some actually enjoyable squad room interruptions. I at all times do type of love Kasie simply listening to that final phrase and being like, “Wait a minute. Maintain on. Maintain the presses.” Right here’s a enjoyable backstory. Gary has realized that I actually love outdated timey slang like “Rats!” when any individual’s upset and so they simply say “rats.” So anytime he learns new outdated timey slang, he’ll come and he’ll deliver it for me and I similar to keel over in laughter. It’s numerous enjoyable to work with him.
