Metz’s on-screen husbandChris Sullivandescribes a “fun” environment on set, much to the contrary of his character’s experience thus far as a dad.
Fans saw Kate putting on a brave face as she navigates parenthood and the realities that her son will grow up with a disability. Though she makes an endearing speech about living a life without limits, Kate, in turn, appears to be limiting herself from expressing her worries and stresses.
“I think Kate doesn’t want to admit that … not that it was her fault in any regard, but that she feels responsible,” Metz explains. “So, being that vulnerable with her husband and, of course, her mom — they have alayered past— she always feels like she’s a bit inadequate.”
“Kevin is her safe space because they are twins and they share the most difficult parts of their lives together, without judgment and with love,” Metz says of Kate opening up to her sibling about Jack’s first six months. “I thought that scene was so beautiful and important. They both have been going through their own thing, so it’s great to see them come back together at such a difficult time.”
“Trust really is intimacy. The physical stuff is great and wonderful, but real intimacy is trust and so there’s a bit of trust that’s broken in him keeping this weight loss and working out a secret. We’ll see how that evolves and unfolds with them,” Metz adds.
