Erika Christensen recently shared insights about her character Angie’s evolving relationship with Seth in the show *Will Trent*, as well as her thoughts on Scott Foley’s new role in *It’s Not Like That*. In an interview with *Us Weekly*, Christensen discussed the implications of Foley’s schedule on the couple’s romance. She noted that their shooting schedules do not interfere directly, allowing for continuity in the story.

Angie’s Journey and Relationship Dynamics

Christensen, 43, articulated that Angie’s relationship with Seth is special. It marks a significant shift from her past, as Angie has never experienced a healthy romance. She conveyed this evolution as “something really beautiful and unique,” adding that Angie deserves this new chapter in her life.

Character Development in Season 4

Derived from Karin Slaughter’s novels, *Will Trent* follows a special agent navigating his complex past. Season 4 introduces a time jump, revealing that Angie is pregnant and only weeks away from giving birth to her and Seth’s child. Christensen described the unexpected pregnancy storyline as a surprising development for both her character and herself.

• Angie’s character is known for her independence.
• The pregnancy storyline allowed for deeper character exploration.
• Christensen emphasized Angie’s emotional growth, especially after losing her toxic mother.

Balancing Parenthood and Career

Despite her pregnancy, Angie continues to work full-time, exploring new aspects of her identity. Christensen reflected on how this journey affects Angie’s views on parenting and her approach to her marriage with Seth.

She acknowledged that while Angie grapples with what type of parent she doesn’t want to be, she is open to discovering what kind of wife she will become. This represents uncharted territory for her character.

The Complexity of Relationships

Christensen also touched on Angie’s long-standing relationship with Will, her ex-boyfriend. Despite the ups and downs over two decades, she highlighted the concept of familial bonds. Even when Angie acknowledges Will’s dangers at the start of the season, she sees him as family regardless of their romantic past.

Will’s role in Angie’s life is unchangeable, providing a sense of intertwined destinies. Christensen believes both characters understand the importance of supporting each other, regardless of their current relationships.
