... Q) Looking at characters this season, obviously they’re taking some major character twists and turns, what are maybe some of the new acting challenges perhaps you guys found with each of your respective roles this year?

Kristen: "I mean, there’s, like every episode always brings with it, sort of, like a new set of challenges. I don’t know. I feel like this year Nora was, like, I don’t - more subdued and I don’t know. I mean, I feel like every day is, like, new challenges - I don’t know specifically sort of anything stood out this year as being particularly more difficult or - I don’t know."

Sam: "No, you dealing with Leah was a new kind of - new thing I guess, right?"

Kristen: "Yes, but, like, just a new threat to the character. I mean, as an actor, I don’t know if it was more challeng- you know what I mean?"

Sam: "I would say for me, like we touched on it a little bit earlier but not - you know, for a little bit, I’d become not a werewolf anyway and so for me, like, it was honestly of just a feeling of kind of being left out, feeling left out, you know, of the party. And that was kind of weird and totally unexpected, by the way. I did not expect to feel that way. It was such a surprise to me when I read initially and it didn’t really hit me until we were on set shooting and I was, like, oh, this is kind of weird, like, I’m not one of the gang anymore. So that was kind of an interesting different challenge I guess. But once again, I mean, like - much like Kristen, I am a really talented natural actor."

Kristen: Nora has her challenges. I just - maybe like for me, I guess I was in more so obviously, like, longer days but I love - but again, like, I love my job, this is one of my favorite jobs I ever had so I don’t even mind the long hours.

Sam: "She’s the best too. Having her on set is so much fun. I always want more of Kristen. And, like, whenever, like, even in previous seasons, like, when I watched an episode and she’s not in it, like, it’ll take me a second. It’ll be, like, something’s missing..."
