![]() ![]() My personal feeling on open marriage is I don’t particularly understand, only because I’m a very sensitive and emotional person, and I would want that one-on-one, but it’s interesting to watch, and it was interesting as an actor to explore what that would feel like. I feel like he’s rather funny, and his exchanges with Lip are just really ‘off’, so it’ll be curious to see what happens between them. That could have been a role that was kind of creepy and weird and it’s not. I had a wonderful actor, Michael Reilly Burke, who plays my husband, and he is just so on the money. I didn’t know where they were going and so we went with the flow. How does it play out with Helene’s husband? What is it? What do you need to do? I’ve done it all.” I was looking to him like, “Are we good? Is everything okay?” One day Emmy (Rossum) gave me a nice little love lesson about a scene that we had to do, which was kind of an impromptu scene that they added and I was just a little nervous. He’s been put into some pretty wild situations on that show, so he’s kind of a pro. Sometimes you’re having to just kind of get used to the person’s rhythm in a way, but you know Jeremy has been doing, many years of this. You kind of have to go for it and sort of see where it lands, but initially I was surprised that we were comfortable and clicked immediately, which isn’t always the case. ![]() It was the first time that they kissed, so it was the first time we kissed, and you know it was really choreography. It was literally like 7am and we were shooting one of the first scenes where he comes to Helene’s office and they end up getting it on.

I never felt that I wouldn’t do nudity in my career, I just didn’t think I’d do it at this age, after two kids. I think what I needed, in order to feel really comfortable, was just to have a conversation with the director and map out what I liked, what I didn’t like, and have them work around that in a way. I’d worked with the John Wells team before, and they’re just the classiest group of people and producers, so I knew I was in good hands. How did you prepare yourself for those nude scenes, having not dealt with that before? It was more provocative and it was a risk, it was scary. Isles isn’t an adult, but I felt like we were reaching into kind of deeper waters here, in terms of adult territory, and what we were playing with. It was edgy, it was sexy and different in the sense that, you know, not to say that Dr. She fascinated me, and I liked that you didn’t know she was in an open marriage. ![]() They were concerned initially that I wouldn’t do the nudity and when I said I would, it became a deeper conversation about this woman.
