Plus, read Part 1 for scoop on which book a Season 4 would adapt here. I have to say I liked Mickey and Andrea together. What did you enjoy most about putting them together in the way that you did? Ted Humphrey: They have great chemistry. The two actors have great chemistry together. Andrea is not even a part of this story in the book, but we so enjoyed that performance from Season 2, and we so enjoyed the chemistry between the two characters that we just felt this was one of those ways that we expand the books.
We just felt like this was very fertile territory to have a really fun storyline and relationship and get more into who is that character and what is that?
You never say never. We feel like we have a really great palette of characters to play with, and so you can bring them in and out of the stories. So Andrea is a great tool in our toolbox that we would love to find another way to use.
You also put Andrea through it this season at work, with that mistake. So why did you want to have her go through what she did this season? And is there really a question of whether or not Suarez will listen? You can never overestimate the degree to which politics plays a part in situations and offices like that. Who brown noses the most? Lorna was impressive this season, in the scenes in front of the judge, running between the courtrooms — I liked what she did with the elevator — and also just letting Mickey know what she wanted.
What excites you about having Lorna as a lawyer both on her own and alongside Mickey? In one word, everything. Lorna is, in a weird way, a combination of two characters from the books because the character of Lorna in the books is the Lorna of Season 1 in a sense.
