Interviewer: Congratulations on not dying or getting killed off.
Valorie Curry: Thank you.
Interviewer: Did you read each script kind of like hurrying up to the
last page wondering if you were on it?
Valorie: Oh, absolutely. It was a frantic flip as soon as I got a
script. It could be three in the morning and I was like, "Okay. I'm still
alive, I can breath" and then you know with a little bit of guilt when you
find out, I'm alive but this other person is dead so...
Interviewer: At what point were you told that season two would be a go
for you? At the end of the season?
Valorie: I was never told that season two would be a go for me.
Interviewer: Is it a go for you?
Valorie: Well I'm here right now. Yes, Emma will be back in season two.
But up until the end there was always the chance with the finale, and it
was a gruesome finale. There were a lot of fatalities there that, I could
have gone or Emma could have gone at any minute or because we're picking up
season two a year later and I could not be a part of the story anymore.
Just like from one episode to the next, I never knew what was going
to happen next. I really was always in the dark, I was just as much in the
dark in terms of the next season.
Interviewer: Do you have any idea now what she'll be up to a year
later?
Valorie: I really don't. I'm really excited about it though because at
the end of season one she lost everything. She lost the cult, she lost both
the men she loves, more importantly she lost her reason for living that she
had had her whole life.
Emma has sort of always been a child in that sense because she's
always been protected and she's never lived for herself. She's never sort
of had to know herself or why or what she would do without Joe and she's
going to have to find that out now because he's seemingly gone.
Of course she lives in hope that he will come back, they'll be
reunited but I'm really excited and curious as an actor to find out who she
is in that vacuum and what fills it.
Interviewer: Do you think there's any chance for her to be redeemed or
is she far past point of redemption really?
Valorie: I don't know. I don't think redemption really exists in the
universe of Emma in the same way it does for other people, because the
thing about her is she just operates under a very different moral construct
than the rest of the world. I don't think she would think she was in need
of redemption.
Yeah, really there is no such thing as that. There's gratification
only and that may be being with Joe that may be something else. I don't
know.
