“It came out of one of those ‘what if’ moments and we ran with it.”
Laurence noted that season 2 is going to begin “on the ground in a Spree cell.
Both Scylla and Willa will be pulled towards Raelle.
It’s going to be very dramatic.”
“Raelle is going to be quite angry with her mother.”
“It was the impulse of the moment to do the right thing.
Lessons were bound to come her way and this beautiful arc that Eliot wrote, she’s maturing.
She’s waking into a woman and waking into her power.”
That will haunt Tally throughout the entire season because Tally will start to remember Alder’s memories."
What is justifiable?"
“The Camarilla are genuinely horrible,” Laurence said.
“They were a witch-hunting organization that were alive and active back in early Alder days.
They were the ones who were behind the Inquisition… using all that chaos to root out witch families.
Their stated aim is to wipe the stain of witch blood from the world.
They’re openly genocidal.
They’re really, really bad.”
“We may want to help each other because if they win, we’re all gone.”
“You’re going to get some new male witches,” Laurence revealed.
Abigail," she said while laughing and shaking her head.
