What they’re saying

“We're a procedural, right? So we don't really have time to get involved this deeply with our storylines. That only works on our show if it has to do with the case. Then we can really spend time on how a character is processing.”

— Missy Peregrym, Actress who plays Maggie

“It was a challenge to make sure that we were careful with the arc emotionally. And I just throw myself into wherever it is at that time. And everybody was really wonderful about creating a script that did that for us.”

— Missy Peregrym, Actress who plays Maggie
