When I spoke with Gilroy earlier this month, I brought up his recent comments about the online abuse Kennedy has endured, and he gave a very insightful answer, drawing comparisons to a time in his career when he was under heavy scrutiny from the media. Once more, he spoke about her role in keeping him invested in the series — which he wasn’t always keen to be part of. He joked that she was involved in “hijacking me into the show, seducing me into the show, keeping the process rolling to keep me involved in the show, getting this show started to roll, approving all the wacky stuff that we did, and encouraging all that.” He continued:
“Our process with her is that she sees every script, obviously. She sees everything that’s going to go out. We have everything on Avid, where everybody’s seeing everything. All major casting approvals is Sanne [Wohlenberg] and Nina [Gold]. Nina and I would come up with our candidate, the person that we wanted to go through. There are certain thresholds that we wouldn’t waste time on, but pretty much anything that had any significance at all, we would run by her. Anything that had real significance would be a real community conversation, very little disagreement about any of those things.”
